Bilder von grandioser Ästhetik und faszinierender Schönheit
Art Wolfes Tier- und Naturaufnahmen sind legendär und gelten zu Recht als Kunst. Mit „Animal Art“ öffnet der Meister sein Archiv: Die 160 besten Bilder aus 30 Jahren Fotografie dokumentieren seine Reisen um den Globus und seine Hingabe an die Natur. In begleitenden Texten gestattet Wolfe einen intimen Blick auf den Menschen hinter der Kamera. Eine bildgewaltige Begegnung mit den Lebewesen unserer Erde und ihrem wohl besten Dokumentar.
224 Seiten, ca. 160 Abbildungen, Format 28,0 x 30,0 cm, Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag
I’m giving this book to all my dog loving friends this Christmas. Gorgeous photos by Art Wolfe and lively and emotional text by Jeffrey Masson.
What I like most about this book is that it has avoided the usualy cutesy pictures. Rather it has a kind of multicultural theme. It shows us the universal bond between humans and dogs. With pictures of stone age tribes, asian boat people, African children, and rich snoots on Fifth Avenue.
The publisher compared this book to The Family of Man. That seems entirely appropriate. And it is time to acknowledge that dogs are part of that universal family as well.
Preeminent evolutionary biologist and controversial author Richard Dawkins is famous for taking on the difficult issues. We had the honor of working with him a decade ago when he contributed an essay to Art’s masterwork The Living Wild.
We are excited to be able to begin taking pre-orders for Art Wolfe’s newest book “Dogs Make Us Human”. Photography by Art Wolfe and written by award winning author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson.
