Contemporary Art of Nature: Mammals (Hardcover)

In the history of art, animals were the very first subject, as
evidenced by the nearly 20,000 year old cave paintings at Lascaux.
The human impulse to depict and capture the essence of animals
underscores the importance of animals to human lives. For some
artists, the evolutionary link between humans and other mammals is
most compelling, and their choice of mammals as subject speaks to
each artist's personal concerns. From traditional works to the
fantastical, from sporting art to kitsch, the nearly 100 U.S. and
international artists included hope to combine their own magic with
the natural spirit of animals in their work. Over 500 of their
pieces are represented here in stunning, full-color photographs.
This elegant collection honors the artistic connection and age-old
totemic relationship between animal and human. Herein lies the
conversation between the spirit of the animal and the mind of the
maker.
