"The human history of depicting birds dates to as many as 40,000 years ago, when Paleolithic
artists took to cave walls to capture winged and other beasts. But the art form has
reached its peak in the last four hundred years. In The Art of the Bird, devout birder
and ornithologist Roger J. Lederer celebrates this heyday of avian illustration in
forty artists' profiles, beginning with the work of Flemish painter Frans Snyders
in the early 1600s and continuing through to contemporary artists like Elizabeth Butterworth,
famed for her portraits of macaws. Stretching its wings across time, taxa, geography,
and artistic style--from the celebrated realism of American conservation icon John
James Audubon, to Elizabeth Gould's nineteenth-century renderings of museum specimens
from the Himalayas, to Swedish artist and ornithologist Lars Jonsson's ethereal watercolors--this
book is feathered with art and artists as diverse and beautiful as their subjects.
A soaring exploration of our fascination with the avian form, The Art of the Bird
is a testament to the ways in which the intense observation inherent in both art and
science reveals the mysteries of the natural world."
