Paintings of Cows and Cow Prints – Why?

A fair question would be "why are cow pictures so appealing", and why are cows becoming so popular as a subject for artists. Naturally there is no single answer to such questions but perhaps the growing demand for cow paintings and cow prints relates to something deep in our psyche - they were, after all, one of the earliest domesticated animals. The characters of cows, for those who have the opportunity to observe and study these gentle giants, reveal an unexpected complexity and depth: they are at the same time large and powerful, yet docile creatures. They quietly inhabit our countryside serenely going about their own business and at the same time producing a product that has been recognised for millennia as a valuable source of nourishment for humans. They are an enigma - not easily understood and often overlooked, but possessing a charm and character that is recognised and valued by many.

Cow Painting is Back!

From earliest times our ancient ancestors were "painting" images of aurochs, early ancestors of modern cows, on the walls and ceilings of caves. Whilst the precise purpose of such images is still debated by archaeologists there is no denying the beauty and skill of art work made some 30,000 years ago and which so exquisitely captured the nature of the now extinct long-horned wild ox of Palaeolithic times.

Cow Art

A well recognised characteristic of art is that it encourages and enables a viewer to see the world from a different perspective ... and so with cows?! Artists constantly seek subjects that inspire; with their very individual personalities, characters and moods cows are prime candidates. Cows also have enormous and beautiful eyes which is a further attraction for both artists and viewer alike.

 

Thus cows pictures, whether it be paintings of cows or prints of cows, can reveal its subject as so much more than "just" a source of food. In other words there is another side of cows that artists seek to portray ... they to are complex characters in much the same way as humans are.
