Ultimately, to be commercially successful, art in any form must be pleasing to the eye, or if not it must be profound. We can read profundity into any of the works in this show, whether the artists themselves intended to make such statements. However, there is no denying the elegant but simple beauty of these canvases, illustrating graceful touches among the world's largest land beasts.
