In American Wildlife Art, scholar and curator David J. Wagner relates the history of this lush genre, from its beginnings in colonial times to the monumental works of the present day. Wagner explains how the aesthetics of American wildlife art have evolved, how its ecological ideologies were altered as ideas about animals and their habitats changed, and how artists and entrepreneurs influenced the market for wildlife art. Wagner’s authoritative prose brings this compelling art form to life, reminding us of the treasures found in America’s wildlands.
