At the Stable

A 1908 newspaper article offered the following review: "At the Salmagundi Club is a group of paintings which should be seen by everyone capable of appreciating work of honest quality and serious pursuit...Mr. Carl Rungius, who is showing his paintings, field studies, and animal sketches in the club rooms, has not only made extremely vital and brilliant portraits of caribou, moose, elk, bear, and Alaskan white sheep, but has placed his animals in a landscape setting of singular beauty...Mr. Rungius has not permitted himself to be more of a naturalist than a painter in his pursuit of a special subject." (as quoted in J. Whyte and E.J. Hart, Carl Rungius: Painter of the Western Wilderness, Salem, New Hampshire, 1985, p. 62)
