Driven by the need to fully experience the world of his subjects, Clarence Tillenius would come face to face with nature, from polar bears to stampeding bison, all to capture their essence and make paintings come alive.

The publication is comprehensive in the sense that it combines Milne’s art with a history of his life and experiences. Written by David Silcox, the publication explores the artist’s successes, failures and major breakthroughs, artistically speaking.
