Where heaven and earth touch

The Swede Lars Jonsson paints birds. Already in the age of four or five years, he was interested in the feathered animals and their living space and started to paint them. Finally the passion became profession and at the end of the 1970s Lars Jonsson had received international reputation. Today he is one of the world’s greatest nature- and animal painters. The selection of his works, which is showed by this publication, reaches from sheets of his sketchbooks over works, that were created for the illustration of nature-guides and other books, to watercolours and oil paintings. With the exhibition in Oldenburg Jonssons works are going to be showed in an individual exposition in Germany for the first time.
