Created in 1984, Paul Calle’s Good Hunting is a quintessential painting by the popular artist: winter setting, mountain man subject, authentic gear and clothing, and adventure in the American wilderness. Calle started painting the West in 1973, not long after he worked for NASA and was the official artist for Apollo 11. Calle stood on the edge of history and sketched Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins the morning of their famous moonshot. His subjects couldn’t have been more different—astronauts and frontier trappers—and yet they reveal a lot about Calle: he painted exploration of all kinds.
