Cooper. | WG: Buch | | Cockatoos: A Portfolio of all Species contains. twenty-one plates and concludes this two-part project, showing Bill Cooper's exquisite water-colours once again in full size. His love for cockatoos is obvious and his mastery deserves this elegant presentation. One of Bill's many artistic strengths is his careful attention to habitats and bird-plant associations, which is sensitively portrayed in each painting. These wonderful birds of the forests and plains have all been painted in landscape format, allowing him to show more diverse compositions and postures. The accompanying text by Joseph M. Forshaw departs from his usual style and forms an elegant essay interspersed with the plates, along with Bill Cooper's Artists Notes. The Introduction is written by Stephen Garnett, a leading researcher on Australia's endangered cockatoos: As a connoisseur I should be difficult to satisfy. But satisfied I am - to encounter a Portfolio that so effectively transmits the presence of these splendid birds to its viewers is an enormous pleasure. The cockatoos have indeed been fortunate to be the subject of Bill Cooper's attention at the zenith of his talent, and to have maintained the interest of Joe Forshaw over so many decades. | [E] | Collector Edition mit insgesamt 460 Sets weltweit.
