<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In Birds, Louisiana-born artist Hunt Slonem (author of Bunnies) pays homage to these remarkable creatures through hundreds of engaging works that brim with texture and movement. Presented in a luxe format featuring silver ink and page edging.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Influenced by the exotic, lush landscapes of his childhood years in Hawaii, Hunt Slonem's richly colored, impressionistic bird paintings are celebrated worldwide. For the first time, Slonem's birds are collected into a single, luxurious volume. In Birds, the Louisiana-born artist pays homage to these remarkable creatures through hundreds of engaging artworks. Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, brimming as they are with texture and movement. The compelling nature of these paintings lies in the tension between the birds' ability to soar and their often captive state (though Slonem's own birds are often spotted flying around his studio). The world-renowned artist's vibrantly patterned canvases are a celebration and a paean to birds, sure to entice returning fans and new viewers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Hunt Slonem's big book of birds, Birds.--New York Magazine<br><br>Hunt Slonem's new book of mesmerizing avian paintings is a testimony to a life spent drawing and cherishing birds.--Meghan Bartels "Audubon "<br><br>Dramatic and vivid, Slonem's avian subjects seem unconfined to a flat surface, brimming as they are with texture and movement.
