Description
John James Audubon devoted his entire life to his great obsession: to capture in pencil and paint the birds of America. His work was unique, for he managed to not only portray birds in exquisite detail, but to endow them with life as well. Over 150 years after his death, his work remains a monumental achievement in nature art. This volume traces the path of his remarkable career, and presents more than 70 of his most memorable paintings.
