Richard Rhodes ~ "Audubon in the American Wilderness"
Thursday, January 22, 2009
6:15pm
John James Audubon (1785–1851) wandered the American backcountry drawing birds at a time when the primordial wilderness was already beginning to give way to commercial exploitation and pioneer settlement
His predecessors Mark Catesby and Alexander Wilson figured prominently among his models, but his ambition was larger ~ he intended to catalog American's birds but also to merge scientific illustration with fine art
To do so, he challenged the illustrative traditions of his day
