This stunning book examines the diversity of wildlife art over the last century, from photographic hyper-real paintings to abstract depictions. The genre, the author shows, has both stimulated and reflected an unprecedented interest in wild animals, their identification, and conservation. He offers a masterly analysis of developing styles and approaches to wildlife art and of artists from John James Audubon, Bruno Liljefors, Lars Jonsson, Gunnar Brusewitz, Roger Tory Peterson and Archibald Thorburn to Chagall and Picasso. More than 140 paintings or prints are reproduced in color, representing the work of 89 artists. An important book for your library, if you have an interest in wildlife art.
