11/19/2007 - Leading curator and wildlife art expert, Dr. David Wagner has completed a new major publication titled "American Wildlife Art", covering the history and story of the wildlife art genre in America.
The book, scheduled to be released early in 2008, is large in format with 424 pages. Included in the book are several AFC members including Robert Bateman and the late Stanley Meltzoff.
In American Wildlife Art, scholar and curator David J. Wagner tells the story of this popular genre's history, shaped by four centuries of cultural events and aesthetic and ideological trends, from its beginnings in colonial times to the monumental works of the present day. In his insightful accounts of the artists, events, and trends at the heart of this uniquely American art form, Wagner explains how the aesthetic idioms and imagery of American wildlife art have evolved, how its ecological ideologies have changed with changing circumstances and ideas about animals and their habitats, and how artists and entrepreneurs developed and influenced the market for wildlife art.
Marquand Books will be coming out with AMERICAN WILDLIFE ART early in the New Year and is offering advanced orders at a discount. For information about AMERICAN WILDLIFE ART go to: www.american-wildlife-art.com.
