I love following this series. Animals are definitely on my top 10 favorite subject matter for artworks. Have you seen the work of Irving Kriesberg? Animal imagery runs deep throughout his oeuvre: http://irvingkriesberg.com/selected-works/
No, I’m not familiar with Irving Kriesberg, which is odd because he was in the circle with other artists whom I have read about and yet I seemed to have skipped over Kriesberg. Thank you for the link, I’ll have to do a little reading about him.
I am curious to know who the other artists are that you mention. Irving was very fascinating in that he was steeped in both Eastern and Western artistic theory. Animals became a very personal way for him to communicate modern and post-modern humanist concepts.
