This book is a showcase of more than 150 works, most of which were painted from 2002 to 2008. And it's a reflection on the artist himself. Essays by a museum curator, an acclaimed sculptor, and a Swedish journalist capture Jonsson's genius. And notes from his sketchbooks offer insights into how he creates his art.\"--Matt Mendenhall, Birder's World \"When I originally picked up this book thought it to be another pretty picture book on birds. What I found was a remarkable story about a skilled bird artist, told in prose and examples of his various works. It was a delightful surprise and an enjoyable read.\"--Robert Hoopes, Wildlife Activist \"Many excellent wildlife artists work today. Lars Jonsson is, in my opinion, the greatest. He seems like a heir of the renowned bird artists John J. Audubon and Louis Agassiz Fuertes.\"--Dan Tallman, South Dakota Bird Notes \"Jonsson who illustrated a highly successful field guide shows his diverse artistry in this impressive work. This is a coffee table book depicting the artist's renditions of numerous birds. The plates show a wide variety of the various techniques he used in showing the birds in their natural surroundings.\"--Indiana Audubon Quarterly","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526157312343,"sku":"9780691141510","price":55.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691141510.jpg?v=1731863170","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lars-jonssons-birds-9780691141510","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
