1982
Abstract
"For those who know birds and their ways, Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927) is acclaimed as America's greatest painter of birds, an artist unsurpassed in the abillity to capture the "singular beauty of birds" and their truly lifelike appearance in natural settings. A Celebration of Birds is the most comprehensive book to date to examine the essence of Fuertes' genius; to illustrate how he worked as an artist, explorer, and natural scientist; and to assess his enormous influence in the worlds of fine art, ornithology, and birdwatching, a pursuit which his work did so much to popularize."--Jacket
