THE PRINT
"A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children." - John James Audobon
American Flamingo is one of the 435 hand-coloured engravings that make up John James Audubon’s monumental Birds of America - the world's most expensive book. The graceful, bending position of the flamingo allowed the artist to fit his subject, depicted close to actual size, on a single page. The silhouette emphasised the elegant curve of the bird’s body and captured its distinctive markings and trademark shade of pink. A perennially stylish artwork that is perfect for creating that vintage vibe in your home. This premium quality giclee art print reproduction has been produced on luxurious 100% cotton rag textured art paper using archival quality inks resulting in a superior print suitable for museum or gallery display.

THE ARTIST
John James Audubon (1785 – 1851), whose surname became synonymous with birds, produced a prolific body of work, including over 435 paintings of birds. America’s dominant wildlife artist for half a century, Audubon’s childhood fascination with birds extended into his adulthood, and he spent days and weeks on the frontier, amassing an enormous portfolio of life-size bird drawings. Reflecting his deep love of birds and his concern for conservation, the Audubon Society was established in his name in the late 1800s, years after his death. His work remains the standard against which 20th and 21st century bird artists are still measured.
