An artist's uniquely personal journey across America In the
nineteenth century, ornithologist and painter John James Audubon
set out to create a complete pictorial record of North American
birdlife, traveling from Louisiana and the Florida Keys to the Gulf
of Saint Lawrence and the cliffs of the Yellowstone River. The
resulting work, The Birds of America, stands as a monumental
achievement in American art. Over a period of sixteen years,
recording his own journey in journals and hundreds of original
paintings, renowned French watercolorist Denis Clavreul followed in
the naturalist's footsteps. In the Footsteps of Audubon brings
together some 250 of Clavreul's stunning watercolors along with
illuminating selections from Audubon's journals and several of his
paintings. With pencil and brush in hand, Clavreul turns his
naturalist's eye and painterly skill to the landscapes that Audubon
encountered on his travels, and to the animals and plants that
Audubon depicted in his art. A passionate ornithologist, Clavreul
sketches birds in the wild with rare dexterity, bringing them
vividly to life on the page. He documents his encounters along the
way with people who live with nature, many of whom are passionately
engaged in preserving it, drawing on his insights as both a
biologist and an artist to connect the past, present, and future. A
spellbinding, richly evocative journey, In the Footsteps of Audubon
is an invitation to see the natural world as Audubon saw it-and to
see with new eyes what it has become today.
