Product Description
Wildlife art is a window onto the natural world and its inhabitants. The popularity of this genre is growing rapidly, with regular museum exhibitions and major auctions inspiring ever-rising levels of interest. This stunning new volume presents more than 150 color examples of the world's finest contemporary wildlife, from oil paintings and watercolors to prints and bronzes. Author Joan Muyskens Pursley, a longtime editor and writer in the world of collecting, conducted exclusive interviews with the sixty artists, who include such distinguished names as Robert Bateman, Guy Coheleach, Maynard Reece and John Ruthven. Ms. Pursley's comprehensive introduction to the history and current state of wildlife art makes this an essential, elegant addition to every collector's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone who loves Wildlife Art!, August 15, 2001
I purchased this book and it is the best of my collection. All the masters of wildlife art are included: Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders, Terry Isaac, Lester-Seerey and so on. Great work and a bio on each.

Two thumbs up.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiration, April 27, 2006
This is a gorgeous book containing wonderful illustrations (and images of a few dramatic sculpture pieces) from sixty wildlife artists in a diversity of style and creativity. It's a great book for inspiration but this is not a tutorial book just to note.
