Joseph Vance's primary field of interest is the big game animals of the world. He has conducted six major study expeditions to Africa and Asia since 1970 for first-hand field experience and research. The resurgence of realism in America was led by a dynamic group of African, western and wildlife painters. The limited edition prints pioneered by these artists brought realistic art info the homes of many Americans. There is no doubt that realism, especially wildlife, is having a most successful exposure throughout America.
