More Flavor: Lecture Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra
-
- Walton Ford, Illustration for Pancha Tantra, Courtesy Taschen
Walton Ford's paintings revive a particular kind of 19th-century sensibility, encompassing not only the hyper-detail of Victorian scientific illustration, but also the fabulist, mythological traces that then remained in naturalist sciences. In Ford's depictions of terrestrial life, majestic, predatory beasts lock in sexualized, psychologically troubled battles, and their relationships to humans are rife with misunderstood majesty. His unparalleled precision evokes the sensuality of the beasts to an uncomfortable but irresistible degree. Tonight, Ford lectures at Art Center on the occasion of the publication of Pancha Tantra, a major new monograph from TASCHEN.
