CARL BRENDERS Carl Brenders’ love for all creatures, from the friendly to the ferocious, is evident in his masterful attention to their every detail; nothing is overlooked. With his imagination, Brenders is able to get close enough to wild animals so that he can almost feel their textures. Consequently, his work has a tactile reality, giving us the sense of having been where even the most intrepid of field guides have not ventured. Of this ability Brenders says, "A painter is a privileged being, because in his imagination he can come very close to the animals he paints. In reality, one can never come this close to wild animals, particularly if they are predators." Brenders' insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection: “That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism — I want to capture that perfection," he says. WAITING FOR MOM A/P#15/76(Limited Edition print) Painting young animals is part of my destiny. I will always be tempted to paint them. Art critics don’t want to see “cute” things in wildlife. Why not? They must know that the physical appearance and the proportions of the body of a youngster are so attractive to parents and other adults that it activates in them the instinct to protect them. It has been built into nature for millions of years and it is very important for the survival of the offspring. Without us knowing it, that instinct is in human genes also. The law of nature and the cosmos count for every living thing on this planet. So, I will exercise my right to paint “cute” things. It can, at times, end up as “postcard” art, but the challenge is to avoid that, and a real artist can. The pups of the dog species are adorable. I compare their behavior to that of small children. What is happening in the drawing is a relief for the babysitting adult wolves. After the pups’ wild and sometimes uncontrollable games, they finally settle down for a rest. Mom will return from the hunt with the pack and feed them. It’s the eternal story of mother and child. When the pack goes hunting, a few members stay behind to care for the pups. The scene in my drawing is typically what you would see in front of the den when there is no danger present. The social rules and behavior in a wolf pack are among the most interesting things in nature and this is an animal that deserves our respect.
