Produktbeschreibung
This book introduces the artist Joseph Crawhall, a remarkable and innovative animal watercolourist, who made decorative, sensitively observed and humorous studies of animals and birds. It reproduces in colour nearly 60 Crawhall artworks from the Burrell Collection, which holds the largest and most significant collection of artworks by Crawhall in the world. These artworks include dynamic and colourful mature works, technically experimental compositions, watercolours from Crawhall's travels and delightful comic sketches. Written in an accessible style, the book gives readers an overview of Crawhall's career and artistic output. It considers his friendship with the Glasgow Boys, the influence of French art, Whistler and Japanese prints, his flair for decorative design and, above all, Crawhall's unique skill in poetically distilling the essence of an animal or bird's character.
