Many prominent American artists created sculpture and painting with wildlife as the subject. The greatest collection of these works is held by the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States in Jackson, Wyoming. In this impressive catalogue of the collection, full-page color plates of excellent quality present each work, accompanied by a lengthy entry on the artist and the work. Rather than a choppy text, Harris (the museum's curator) has maintained a coherent narrative through the catalogue tracing both the development of American art and the attitudes it displays towards wilderness and wildlife.
