From Liberty to Animals in Art (images)

If Roberta hadn't posted Leroy Neiman's Liberty. I never would have
discovered LeRoy Neiman's animals.... endangered animals...animal
families...African Safari.... Many great images are online. I quit doing my
Pop Art Andy Warhol "Endangered Animals" unit because I no longer admired
Warhol as a person of character (not to dredge up Warhol posts from two
years ago)... I will use Warhols' images (I have a print set) with those of
Neiman (anyone know of anything "shady" about Neiman that would make him
inappropriate for 6th graders?).

I found many images from Neiman in the site I posted earlier today:
http://www.doubletakeart.com/psearch3.html
Tigers - elephants - gorillas- zebras and more.

There are more on poster sites and the LeRoy Neiman official site:

Biography
http://www.avatargalleries.com/artists/neiman.html

Just thought I'd share this with my friends. Please post any additional
artists who have played around with animals as subject matter (artists who
may inspire 6th graders).
