In the event of the mother charging you, stand firm and shoot straight
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that captures a moment of tension between man and beast. The image depicts a scene in Norway where a black bear charges towards a group of individuals, prompting one brave soul to take aim with his rifle.
The title of the print serves as both a warning and an instruction - when faced with danger, it is crucial to remain steadfast and resolute in order to protect oneself. The mother bear's fierce determination is evident in her posture, while the humans must rely on their courage and marksmanship to defend themselves.
This artwork not only showcases the natural beauty of Norway but also highlights the inherent risks that come with exploring wild landscapes. It serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature, where survival often depends on quick thinking and decisive action.
The stark contrast between black and white adds to the intensity of the scene, emphasizing the life-or-death stakes at play. The lithograph's detailed composition draws viewers into this heart-pounding moment, inviting them to contemplate their own reactions in similar circumstances.
Overall, "In the event of the mother charging you, stand firm and shoot straight" is a powerful depiction of human vulnerability in the face of nature's raw power. It serves as a testament to our primal instincts for self-preservation and survival against all odds.
