| Description: | This unique exhibit opens April 11 at a gala reception and continues through November 15, 2010. The exhibit includes awe-inspiring original elephant-folio (large format) engravings and copper plates by John James Audubon, etchings by Alexander Wilson Audubons predecessor who described and depicted American birdsplus works by American impressionist Frank Weston Benson, Andy Warhols eye-popping serigraph, Bald Eagle, and work by Charley Harper, the witty and wise minimal realist. Among the most exciting artwork on view are watercolors by legendary bird artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes, plus a variety of paintings by renowned watercolor artists Robert Verity Clem of Chatham and Lars Jonsson of Sweden. Also included are delicate miniature carved birds by 20th century artist Allen James King, along with remarkable works by Larry Barth, widely acclaimed as the foremost bird sculptor and 10-time Ward World Champion Carver. | |
