书籍简介

古代艺术家杰伊·马特恩壮观的壁画和素描的豪华展示！

半个世纪以来，杰伊·马特尼斯的艺术作品装饰着史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆的化石大厅。这些珍贵的马特恩壁画记录了过去5600万年的哺乳动物进化，以及展示中生代恐龙的透视画，是历史上具影响力的古美术家之一的重要作品。这些作品既具有史诗般的规模和范围，又具有细微的细节，还为研究和解释脊椎动物古生物学和古生态学提供了一个窗口。

《失落世界的视野》展示了这些精美的艺术作品，还包括马特恩在规划这些壁画时准备的草图和图纸。马特恩以其技术天才和对细节的关注而闻名，他根据博物馆收藏的骨架绘制草图，并加入肌肉、皮肤和皮毛，使史前的哺乳动物和恐龙变得生动起来。本书提供了对这些艺术作品的近距离观察，对艺术家的创作过程的窥视，以及对作品的影响和遗产的研究。

A lavish showcase of paleoartist Jay Matternes's spectacular murals and sketches

For half a century, the artwork of Jay Matternes adorned the fossil halls of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. These treasured Matternes murals documenting mammal evolution over the past 56 million years and dioramas showing dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era are significant works of one of the most influential paleoartists in history. Simultaneously epic in size and scope and minutely detailed, they also provide a window into the study and interpretation of vertebrate paleontology and paleoecology.

Visions of Lost Worlds presents these unparalleled works of art, and also includes the sketches and drawings Matternes prepared as he planned the murals. Known for his technical genius and eye for detail, Matternes sketched from skeletons in museum collections and added muscle, skin, and fur to bring mammals and dinosaurs from prehistory to vivid life. This book offers a close look at these works of art, a peek inside the artist's process, and an examination of the works' impact and legacy.
