From the early days of mankind, birds have been a major influence on artists, inspiring centuries of masterpieces. Celebrating the bird in art with an elegant, international collection of paintings, illustrations, and photographs, the highlights here include Pablo Picasso's Woman with a Crow, Edgar Degas's Young Woman with Ibis, René Magritte's Man in a Bowler Hat, Gustav Klimt's The Girlfriends, and Sarah Siltala's Night Visit, but here too are dozens of exquisite images by lesser-known artists, plus short texts giving background to the pictures and information on bird species.
