American Artist Susan Fox Paints Genghis Khan’s Mongolia | Literary & Visual Arts | Arts & Entertainment | Epoch Times: "Yet Mongolia remains one of the great wildlife-viewing destinations of the world. According to a 2004 World Wildlife Fund special report, 139 mammal species and 449 bird species live in its six biomes, and Mongolia’s wildlife is one of its top tourist attractions.
Its art, too, is diverse, and the natural environment has long been a subject of Mongolia’s artists. However, Mongolia does not share the West’s tradition of painting wild animals in their natural elements, as exemplified by artists like Edwin Henry Landseer, Kim Donaldson, and Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert. Their paintings bring out the majesty of their subjects, and theirs and similar work have inspired many conservation efforts."
