Birds in Art: The Masters

This handsomely illustrated book presents the work of the finest living practitioners of the graceful and appealing art of painting and sculpting birds. Since 1976 the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum has been holding an annual exhibit of contemporary art devoted to birds. The endeavor has met with universal praise. It has served to raise the standards of wildlife art while leading to its acceptance by a widening public. BIRDS IN ART: THE MASTERS celebrates the artistic vision of the fourteen artists who have received the Master Wildlife Artist award. They are the very best in their field. They include Roger Tory Peterson, J. Fenwick Lansdowne, and Robert Bateman.
