ORIGINAL PAINTING AND POEM BY C. J. BARNARD
OIL ON CANVAS
48" X 48"
In this dramatic fantasy painting, a man adorned with an ivory necklace grasps the tusks of a powerful African elephant, symbolizing the struggle between humanity's desire for ivory and the elephant's fight for survival. The confrontation serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of poaching and the ivory trade.
The painting is accompanied by a copy of C. J. Barnard's original poem, White Gold, a poignant reflection on the intelligence, emotions, and vulnerability of elephants—and a question for humanity: "Will we forget the elephant?"
