William D Berry: 1954-1956 Field Sketches

Mehr zum Buch

An exquisitely lovely book compiled by Berry's widow and covering work done during his first three years in Alaska. Here are hundreds of pencil studies (Berry's most confident medium) with his detailed notes on form, color, behavior. Most of this period was around Mt. McKinley with some drawings of marine life. Some 50 pages are color sketches. The bulk of the drawings carry Berry's detailed observations in legible block letters. A splendid book of natural history and art. If it meets with the success it deserves, we can hope to see further volumes. 11x9 Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
