About John James Audubon
American, born in Saint-Domingue · 1785–1851
John James Audubon was born in Saint-Domingue, now Haiti, and became known as an American naturalist and artist. He set himself the immense task of recording North America’s bird life. Wide travel and sustained observation supported that project. Watercolour, pastel and graphite became tools for describing individual species while giving them the energy and particularity of living subjects.
Audubon’s great publication, The Birds of America, joined detailed illustration with an ambitious scale. He aimed to show birds life-size, sometimes arranging larger species in bent poses to fit the page. His birds hunt, preen, fight and fly rather than simply stand for inspection. Vegetation and habitat complete the image, connecting each creature to a surrounding world.
