Gulls, Ravens And a Vulture: The Ornithological Paintings of James Wyeth

The work represented in this book proves that Jamie Wyeth has the extraordinary technical talent required to reveal in paint his intimate knowledge of the ways of winged creatures encountered on his Pennsylvania farm and at his Maine island home. Wyeth's work uncovers not only the closely watched birds that fascinate this painter, but it convinces the beholder that this is a man who knows birds so well, he almost sees the world from their point of view. The book is also enriched with an introduction and essays by luminaries from the worlds of art and ornithology.
