书籍简介

十九世纪，鸟类学家兼画家约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦开始创作北美鸟类的完整图像记录，从路易斯安那州和佛罗里达群岛到圣劳伦斯湾和黄石河悬崖。 由此产生的作品《美国鸟类》是美国艺术的一项里程碑式的成就。 法国有名水彩画家丹尼斯·克拉夫勒 (Denis Clavreul) 在十六年的时间里，在日记和数百幅原创画作中记录了自己的旅程，追随了自然学家的脚步。

《追寻奥杜邦的足迹》汇集了克拉夫鲁尔约 250 幅令人惊叹的水彩画，以及奥杜邦日记和几幅画作中富有启发性的选集。 克拉夫鲁尔用手中的铅笔和画笔，将他的自然学家的眼睛和绘画技巧转向奥杜邦在旅行中遇到的风景，以及奥杜邦在他的艺术中描绘的动植物。 克拉夫鲁尔是一位充满热情的鸟类学家，他以罕见的灵巧描绘了野外鸟类的草图，将它们生动地呈现在纸上。 他记录了自己一路上与与自然共存的人们的遭遇，其中许多人热衷于保护自然，并利用他作为生物学家和艺术家的洞察力来连接过去、现在和未来。

《追寻奥杜邦的足迹》是一次引人入胜、引人入胜的旅程，邀请您以奥杜邦的视角观察自然世界，并以新的眼光看待它今天的面貌。

In the nineteenth century, ornithologist and painter John James Audubon set out to create a complete pictorial record of North American birdlife, traveling from Louisiana and the Florida Keys to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the cliffs of the Yellowstone River. The resulting work, The Birds of America, stands as a monumental achievement in American art. Over a period of sixteen years, recording his own journey in journals and hundreds of original paintings, renowned French watercolorist Denis Clavreul followed in the naturalist’s footsteps.

In the Footsteps of Audubon brings together some 250 of Clavreul’s stunning watercolors along with illuminating selections from Audubon’s journals and several of his paintings. With pencil and brush in hand, Clavreul turns his naturalist’s eye and painterly skill to the landscapes that Audubon encountered on his travels, and to the animals and plants that Audubon depicted in his art. A passionate ornithologist, Clavreul sketches birds in the wild with rare dexterity, bringing them vividly to life on the page. He documents his encounters along the way with people who live with nature, many of whom are passionately engaged in preserving it, drawing on his insights as both a biologist and an artist to connect the past, present, and future.

A spellbinding, richly evocative journey, In the Footsteps of Audubon is an invitation to see the natural world as Audubon saw it―and to see with new eyes what it has become today.
