Articles and essays from Resource Library in chronological order:
Animals in Bronze: The Michael and Mary Erlanger Collection of Animalier Bronzes from the Georgia Museum of Art and Audubon's Animals: Works from the John James Audubon Museum (4/30/04) Animals in Bronze shows equine energy and beauty in 17 bronze horses, from an Arabian mare by Pierre-Jules Mêne to Will Rogers on his horse by Charles Russell. And there is more: whippets, panthers, and bulls, in sculptures that are romantic, expressive, and humorous. Audubon's Animals exhibits several little-known animal prints and paintings. People are familiar with Audubon's birds, but not always aware that he also painted a wide range of fauna.
