Cheetah Cubs at Mweiga nr. Nyeri, Kenya for The End of the Game

A dynamic and visceral photographic work by Peter Beard, this gelatin silver print captures cheetah cubs in the wild landscapes near Mweiga, Kenya, infused with the artist's signature embellishments of ink, paint, and blood. Beard's layered mixed-media approach transforms the photograph into a raw, intimate diary-like artifact that blurs the boundaries between documentation and personal expression. Created for his seminal publication *The End of the Game*, the work reflects Beard's passionate and urgent meditation on the vanishing wildlife and ecosystems of Africa.
