ALIVE AND MOVING! John James Audubon wrote, "...nothing, after all, could ever answer my enthusiastic desires to represent nature, except to copy her in her own way, alive and moving!" True to his desire, and unlike scientific illustrations of his day, Audubon’s compositions were ‘alive and moving’ in natural settings, and life size as well. However, to this Audubon adds, "Merely to say, that each of my illustrations is of the size of nature, were too vague ... Not only is every object, as a whole, of the natural size, but also every portion of each object. The compass aided me in its delineation, regulated and corrected each part, ... The bill, the feet, the legs, the claws, the very feathers as they project one beyond another, have been accurately measured." John James Audubon. Ornithological Biography, Volume 1 |
