Harmony
Let  your imagination soar as the birds that ruled America's skies more than a century ago live again in resplendent color. Here's a chance to glimpse into the artistic mind of legendary naturalist John James Audubon, as well as spy the bountiful menagerie he adeptly painted on an 11-year quest to capture American birds with life-size accuracy. Much more detailed than the era's photographic capabilities allowed, these 435 color plates depict species such as the Common Grackle, Hooded Warbler, and Bald Eagle in all their majesty. The original collection is enhanced by a whimsical Flash exhibit, which introduces you to both graceful and hardy creatures amid their natural habitats. While some of these beauties are no longer with us, their spirit and imprint on Audubon have been forever captured for future generations to admire. (in Visual Arts) |
