Audubon, John James, 1785-1851. The watercolors for The birds of America. Annette Blaugrund and Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., editors ; catalog entries by Carole Anne Slatkin. New York: Villard Books : New-York Historical Society, 1993, stated First Edition, but with 2d printing number line ending in 2, ix, 382pp., sewn PAPERBACK, huge and heavy beautiful volume, full-page color illustrations on one page with fully detailed discussion on facing page. Essays by Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., Annette Blaugrund, Amy R. W. Meyers, and Reba Fishman Snyder. All aspects of Audubon's genius come together in one definitive, sumptuous volume. Acquired in 1863 from Audubon's widow, all of the original watercolors for Audubon's masterpiece, in addition to other little-known and never before-published outstanding pieces, have been selected from the New York Historical Society's extensive collection. Recently conserved and newly photographed with painstaking care, these rarely seen works are reproduced here to reveal the original, brilliant colors. The text has been contributed by some of America's foremost art historians, conservators, and Audubon's life and art to the New York Historical Society's technical studios of the watercolors are explored in a series of erudite yet accessible essays, while the book's full-page plates are thoroughly detailed with engaging and informative entries. Art lovers, historians, and naturalists as well as the general public will appreciate this unique volume. - CONTENTS: Preface and Acknowledgments / Holly Hotchner -- Audubon's Drawings of American Birds, 1805-38 / Theodore E.

Large Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Single-volume edition. Boards lightly faded and soiled, top edge lightly foxed with a couple light spots, top jacket edge lightly stained, 2 inch chip from rear jacket corner. 1966 Large Hardcover. xxxi, 223 plates; plates 224-431, lv pp. John James Audubon, (born April 26, 1785, Les Cayes, Saint-Domingue, West Indies [now in Haiti]?died January 27, 1851, New York, New York, U.S.), ornithologist, artist, and naturalist who became particularly well known for his drawings and paintings of North American birds. Audubon?s name is associated with a number of bird-related organizations, including the National Audubon Society; however, his personal history as an enslaver, white supremacist, and critic of emancipation has made him a controversial figure in American history. The illegitimate son of a French merchant, planter, and slave trader and a Creole woman of Saint-Domingue, Audubon and his illegitimate half sister (who was also born in the West Indies) were legalized by adoption in 1794, five years after their father returned to France. Young Audubon developed an interest in drawing birds during his boyhood in France. At age 18 he was sent to the United States in order to avoid conscription and to enter business. He began his study of North American birds at that time; this study would eventually lead him from Florida to Labrador, Canada. With Frederick Rozier, Audubon attempted to operate a mine and then a general store. The latter venture they attempted first in Louisville, Kentucky, and later in Henderson, Kentucky, but the partnership was dissolved after they failed utterly. Audubon then attempted some business ventures in partnership with his brother-in-law; these too failed. By 1820 he had begun to take what jobs he could to provide a living and to concentrate on his steadily growing interest in drawing birds; he worked for a time as a taxidermist and later made portraits and taught drawing, and his wife worked as a governess. By 1824 he had begun to consider publication of his bird drawings, but he was advised to seek a publisher in Europe, where he would find better engravers and greater interest in his subject. In 1826 he went to Europe in search of patrons and a publisher. He was well received in Edinburgh and, after the king subscribed to his books, in London as well. The engraver Robert Havell of London undertook publication of his illustrations as The Birds of America, 4 vol. (435 hand-coloured plates, 1827?38). William MacGillivray helped write the accompanying text, Ornithological Biography, 5 vol. (octavo, 1831?39), and A Synopsis of the Birds of North America (1839), which serves as an index. Until 1839 Audubon divided his time between Europe and the United States, gathering material, completing illustrations, and financing publication through subscription. His reputation established, Audubon then settled in New York City and prepared a smaller edition of his Birds of America, 7 vol. (octavo, 1840?44), and a new work, Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, 3 vol. (150 plates, 1845?48), and the accompanying text (3 vol., 1846?53), completed with the aid of his sons and the naturalist John Bachman.

The Birds of America is a monumental classic, but it has never been explored like this before. This important new volume presents all the dazzling watercolors that Audubon painted for these monumental engravings. We are familiar with the prints engraved by Robert Havell Jr., but Audubon s Aviary illuminates the original masterpieces that were created by Audubon himself and tells the story behind their creation with fresh insights and engaging quotes from his writings. These powerful paintings -all newly photographed using state-of-the-art techniques -possess a startling immediacy, vibrancy, and fluidity that link natural history, art, and a respect for the environment. These watercolors transmit Audubon s devotion to his craft with their inscriptions and layers of media wrought with a miniaturist s attention to detail and their revolutionary compositions, which for the first time in history depicted all the birds life-size. Audubon is considered America s first great watercolorist, introducing innovative approaches developed over a lifetime of study. Even judged alongside today s technology, his dramatic tableaux remain some of the most spectacular natural history documents and visually arresting works of art ever produced"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---size is approximate ( generally within 1/8 inch)--- extra shipping might be required depending upon destination ---if an issue, please inquire before ordering --- Size: 11w x 13.25h Inches.
