SOCIETY OF
ANIMAL ARTISTS MEMBERS
WITH ARTWORK
FEATURED IN
based on the book of the same title by
David J. Wagner, Ph.D.
September 29
through December 29, 2013
Among
watershed exhibitions to survey the history of wildlife art was ANIMALS IN ART
at The Royal Ontario Museum in 1975. Copies of its catalogue are still
available on-line for purchase at Amazon.
One emerging artist to be invited to
display his work in that exhibit was Robert Bateman. This Fall, nearly 40 years
later, a new retrospective entitled AMERICAN WILDLIFE ART, based on the book of the same title by David J. Wagner,
Ph.D., will be displayed at
the Allentown Art Museum in Pennsylvania. This new exhibit is a one-off; in
other words, it is an exlusive showing that will not be toured or replicated
anywhere else. In addition to old masters from John James Audubon to
contemporaries Carl Rungius and Louis Agassiz Fuertes, a very short list of
noteworthy artists living and working today will have their work included in
this new exhibition. Among them will again be Robert Bateman and the following
