Description: Walton Ford. 40th Ed. by Bill Buford, Walton Ford Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Walton Fords large-scale watercolors of animals make up a unique anthropomorphic universe rich in sly jokes and hidden meaning. This revised publication in our compact 40th Edition series is the most comprehensive survey of Fords oeuvre to date, updated with more than 20 recent works by the artist. Publisher Description At first glance, Walton Fords large-scale, highly detailed watercolors of animals recall the prints of 19th-century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear. A closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the operatic quality of traditional natural history.In this stunning but sinister visual universe, beasts and birds are not mere aesthetic objects but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles: a wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw; a troupe of monkeys wreaks havoc on a formal dinner table; an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. In dazzling watercolor, the images impress as much for their impeccable realism as they do for their complex narratives.First available as a signed and limited volume, this updated edition of Pancha Tantra is the most comprehensive survey of Fords oeuvre to date, with more than 20 new works. It features dazzling details, an in-depth exploration of his visual universe, a complete biography, and excerpts from his textual inspirations: from Indian folktales and the letters of Benjamin Franklin to the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and Audubons Ornithological Biography.
