Walton Ford, 2020
Walton Ford's large-scale watercolors of animals initially evoke 19th-century illustrators like Audubon and Lear. However, a closer examination reveals a complex, anthropomorphic universe filled with symbols and allusions to natural history. These works depict animals not as mere subjects but as active participants in allegorical struggles, rendered with impeccable realism and intricate narratives.
