EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Hogs Killing a Rattlesnake, 1930" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by American artist John Steuart Curry. This remarkable artwork, held at the University of Arizona Museum of Art, showcases nature's raw power and the struggle for survival in the animal kingdom. Set against a backdrop of lush woodlands and towering trees, this scene captures an intense moment as hogs confront and overpower a venomous rattlesnake. The vibrant colors bring to life the brown hues of the hogs' coarse fur and the intricate patterns on the snake's scaly skin. With mouths open wide in fierce determination, these pigs symbolize both their own instinctual need for self-preservation and mankind's relentless pursuit to conquer nature. Curry masterfully portrays this clash between predator and prey with meticulous attention to detail. The composition draws viewers into the heart of action, where every stroke reveals tension and impending danger. Through his brushwork, Curry conveys not only physical conflict but also deeper themes such as life-and-death struggles that have been present throughout centuries. Originally published in "The Studio Volume 113" by London Offices of The Studio in 1937, this print serves as a testament to Curry's artistic prowess during the early 20th century. It remains an enduring reminder of our complex relationship with nature – one that encompasses both harmony and brutality. "
