From the Wild Portfolios of North America's Finest Wildlife Artists

"Here, for the first time, many of the most famous wildlife painters in North America are represented in the same volume. Twelve of the finest artists in the genre present their best works, some of them entirely new, over one hundred colour plates and sixty black-and-white pictures are carefully reproduced, showing a full range of creative depictions of the natural world. Noted wildlife art critic David M. Lank has written a comprehensive introduction examining the development of nature art, and although he notes that the golden age which started several hundred years ago is now culminating in its current phenomenal popularity, the earliest works of art created by man were the cave paintings; paintings of animals." The artists included are: Robert Bateman * Claudio D'Angelo * Owen Gromme * Bob Kuhn * Fenwick Landsdowne * Glen Loates * George McLean * Stanley Meltzoff * Lanford Monroe * Ron Parker * Roger Tory Peterson * John Schoenherr.
