Besides being one of Canada’s foremost artists, Robert Bateman is also a naturalist recognized by the Audubon Society as one of the 20th century’s “heroes of conservation.” Robert has received numerous honours and awards, including the Order of Canada and fourteen honorary doctorates. He has been the subject of several films and books, including The Art of Robert Bateman (1981), The World of Robert Bateman (1985), An Artist in Nature (1990), Natural Worlds (1996), Thinking Like a Mountain (2000), Birds (2002), New Works (2010), Life Sketches (2015) and Bateman’s Canada (2017), as well as several children’s books.
“When I painted this giraffe I was evolving from the abstract painter I had been in my early 30s back to a representational nature painter. The piece is strongly influenced by cubism. It is deliberately flat and colourful with a sense of motion in the treatments and brushwork. It is unusually bright and lively compared to my present more subdued and realistic style but this lends a certain joy to the image.” - Robert Bateman
“I met Robert Bateman in 1951 at the University of Toronto. Bob was in his fourth year of an undergraduate degree in geography, and I was in my first year of biology. We were both members of the Naturalist Club and got together with a group of like-minded students on the weekends to explore the local birds, flowers, and wild nature. Later, in the 1950s, Bob and I separately traveled to Africa. I went to pursue my passion for studying giraffe and Robert traversed the continent taking in the beauty of its nature and culture. When I returned to Canada Bob presented me with this painting as a gift and I have cherished it all my life. Over the last 30 years giraffe populations have declined 40% due to habitat destruction, poaching, wildfires, drought, and illegal trafficking of trophies. The Anne Innis Dagg Foundation was established to raise awareness and to further the efforts around giraffe conservation within Africa by engaging the locals and their communities. ” – Anne Innis Dagg
