Description

Walton Ford's large-scale watercolors appear to be reminiscent of 19th-century illustrators. However, upon closer inspection, his work reveals a complex and unsettling universe, replete with symbols, witty jokes, and allusions to the 'operatic' quality of traditional natural history. In this captivating yet disturbing visual world, animals are not simply aesthetic objects but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles. Beasts and birds are depicted as engaging in intricate narratives, showcasing both impeccable realism and complex storytelling. This updated edition of Pancha Tantra features over 20 new works, providing the most comprehensive survey of Ford's oeuvre to date. The book includes dazzling details, an in-depth exploration of his visual universe, a complete biography, and excerpts from his textual inspirations, such as Indian folktales and Benjamin Franklin's letters.
