Описание: This book features a natural selection: Fords beautifully savage beasts and birds. Walton Fords watercolors of animals could be mistaken for 19th century natural science illustrations or British colonial paintings. Except theyre not. Something strange and usually sinister is happening in each of Fords works, whether its a wild turkey crushing a small parrot with its claw, a collection of monkeys wreaking havoc on a formally set dinner table, or an American buffalo surrounded by a pack of bloodied white wolves...in the middle of a proper French garden. Painted with the deft technique of a technical artist, Fords works vibrate with an intensity of uncanny familiarity; they are both reassuring in style and disturbing in content. With titles like Au Revoir Zaire, Necropolis, and Dirty Dick Burtons Aide de Camp, and Space Monkey, his paintings open the doors to a world of real-life fantasy, dreams, and nightmares - all with a stunning candor that almost belies the artists intentions. Collected together for the first time as a limited-edition book, and now available as a popular edition, Fords bestiary takes its name from one of the texts he frequently refers back to in his work: The Pancha Tantra, the ancient Indian book of animal fables collected from 3rd-5th Centuries B.C. and considered to be the precursor to Aesops Fables. This book provides an in-depth exploration of Walton Fords oeuvre. It also includes a complete professional biography as well as substantial excerpts from the textual sources for the paintings, from Vietnamese folktales and the letters of Benjamin Franklin to the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and John James Audubons Ornithological Biography.
