According to the artist, “Stories of man versus grizzly bear are a harrowing and perilous tale. Few animals command as much respect and instill as much healthy fear as bears. While fatal bear attacks are rare – there have only been around 180 deaths from bear attacks in North America since the late 1700s – they never fail to shock with their brutality. Men like Hugh Glass, a veteran frontiersman and trapper, who was severely mauled and left for dead in 1823 managed to miraculously survive by crawling and scrambling 200 miles to Fort Kiowa.”
