Context:
Darge received his training at the Art Institute of Chicago and worked in commercial illustration until the onset of the Great Depression. He came to Texas in the early 1930s and spent the remainder of his life capturing the culture and history of central Texas and the Big Bend Country. "Survival of the Fittest "captures the clarity and heat of the West Texas landscape as well as the precarious existence of its inhabitants. In a face-off with the snake, the roadrunner has momentarily forgotten its prey, the grasshopper, who may be the ultimate survivor in that harsh environment.
