Walton Ford's large-scale, highly detailed watercolors of animals evoke the prints of 19th-century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear, but a closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the 'operatic quality of traditional natural history. In this stunning but sinister visual universe, beasts and birds are not mere aesthetic objects but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles. A wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw, a troupe of monkeys wreaks havoc on a formal dinner table, and an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. The images impress as much for their impeccable realism as they do for their complex narratives.
This updated edition of Pancha Tantra is the most comprehensive survey of Ford's oeuvre to date, with more than 20 new works. It features dazzling details, an in-depth exploration of his visual universe, a complete biography, and excerpts from his textual inspirations: from Indian folktales and the letters of Benjamin Franklin to the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and Audubon's Ornithological Biography.
