Description: The Art of BevDoolittleISBN-13: 9780553070095 In a collection of work by one of America's greatest contemporary nature artists, Bev Doolittle's unique vision is revealed in dozens of full color reproductions of her work From Publishers WeeklyPopular printmaker/painter Bev Doolittle employs a visual equivalent of magic realism to capture fleeting dramas in nature: a fox darting from an arrow, an owl's encounter with a beaver, a hare escaping a coyote. Often, key elements, such as horses (her favorite subject) or a grizzly bear, are cleverly camouflaged, adding to the pictorial interest. Yet, notwithstanding this biographical-critical tribute to the California-born artist, her pictures are frequently sentimental, her celebrations of American Indian life approach kitsch, and much of her work seems closer to illustration than to serious art. Maclay, a poet, provides informal commentaries as well as short, lyric poem sthat mirror the pictures' spirit and their quest for spiritual meaning.
