The Sky Painter: Louis Fuertes, Bird Artist Engle Margarita
Louis loves to watch birds. His father wants him to become an engineer, but Louis dreams of being a bird artist. He takes care of injured birds and studies how they look and how they move.
He learns from the art of John James Audubon. To achieve this dream, he must practice, practice, practice. But as Louis grows up, he begins to draw and paint living, flying birds in their natural habitats.Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927) is now known as the father of modern bird art.
He traveled with many scientific expeditions all over the world. His best-known works--paintings for habitat exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History in New York--are still beloved by visitors today. His art helped to encourage wildlife conservation, inspiring people to celebrate and protect the world of wings.Poems by Newbery Honor-winning author Margarita Engle and illustrations by Aliona
