"Strutting: A Display of Confidence and Power across Time and Species" From the regal Persian horse to the majestic male Ruffed Grouse, it has been a timeless symbol of dominance and courtship. In 1650, an oil painting on wood captured the essence at a poultry farm, showcasing the prideful stance of these feathered creatures. Fast forward to Olympic National Park in Washington's Pacific Northwest, where April brings forth a mesmerizing spectacle. The Male Ruffed Grouse takes center stage with its ruff up mating display, distinct from its rhythmic drumming display. Witnessing this avian performance is like witnessing nature's own Olympic event. Meanwhile, in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, the Kori Bustard proudly parades through its territory. With its large size and striking appearance, it commands attention as one of Africa's heaviest flying birds. Its strut exudes confidence amidst the vast African plains. Not limited to animals alone, even humans have engaged in strutting throughout history. A caricature from World War I depicts German army officers arrogantly marching across occupied Brussels' Grand Place. This image serves as a reminder that they are also be associated with power dynamics between nations. Moving away from war-torn Europe to more leisurely scenes by the seaside; we find ourselves observing a man swanking or showing off his bravado under sunny skies. Chromolitho captures this moment perfectly - highlighting how even humans indulge in their own version for personal satisfaction. Lastly, let us not forget "The Judgement of Paris, " depicted in a pochoir print from 1920-30s. Here we witness Greek mythology intertwining with human vanity as three goddesses vie for recognition through their beauty - each hoping their allure will make them stand out among their peers. In all these instances - whether it be within nature or society itself.
