"Big Ears: A Fascination with Extraordinary Auditory Appendages" From the majestic Cape Hare to the adorable Fennec Fox, creatures with they have always captivated our attention. In Cape Hare's 2010 oil on paper artwork, we witness the intricate details of its oversized ears that seem to amplify its presence in the wild. The Canis cerdo species, commonly known as Fennec Fox, showcases its remarkable big ears in a watercolor painting from centuries ago. The delicate strokes on paper bring out the fox's endearing charm and highlight how these large auditory organs aid them in their desert habitat. Even artists from long ago recognized the allure of big-eared animals. An oil on canvas masterpiece dating back to c. 1770 portrays a hare with astonishingly elongated ears. This timeless artwork reminds us of nature's ability to create extraordinary features that both astound and inspire. Not limited to wildlife depictions alone, even caricatures find humor in emphasizing prominent features like Sir John Key's larger-than-life ears captured around 1830. Caricature art has always been an avenue for playful exaggeration while showcasing recognizable traits. Rommella, the desert fox featured in photographs from February 1972 (72-1465-028 & 029), demonstrates how animal friendships can sometimes raise eyebrows. Rommella causes concern among chickens but also highlights nature's intricate web of relationships where unlikely bonds form despite apparent differences. In another realm entirely, Stirling Moss celebrates his new driving license after a year-long disqualification by proudly displaying his "big ear" achievement—a testament to human resilience and determination against all odds. But it is not just wildlife or humans who possess enchanting auditory attributes; Sam the Basset refreshes himself by dunking his torrid tongue into a bucket of water—an amusing sight reminding us that even our beloved pets enjoy indulging their own set of big ears.
