"Walton Ford: dall'editore TASCHEN una magica esplorazione nel mondo degli animali. ... Le bestie e gli uccelli che popolano la vita di questo straordinario artista rivivono in questo volume di grande formato realizzato in 1.600 copie numerate, ciascuna firmata da Walton Ford, confezionata in una scatola a conchiglia coperto in tela libro Luxor."Print BuyerItaly |

“Las acuarelas de estos fantásticos animales podrían haber salido de cualquier libro de Ciencias Naturales del siglo XIX, salvo una pequeña salvedad: el trasfondo siniestro de estas ilustraciones. Bill Buford, editor del New Yorker ha recopilado por primera vez los dibujos de Walton Ford en una edición coleccionista (editorial TASCHEN). Un mundo que abre las puertas a los sueños y las fantasías más perversas.”Cote Sud, MadridSpain |

“L’incroyable technique et le style si classique mais sublime de ce peintre auraient pu appartenir à un passé lointain. Or, il n’en rien. Walton Ford est un de nos contemporains. Et parce que ses créations sont hors du commun, TASCHEN a décidé d’en faire un ouvrage rare. La qualité picturale est telle que pour restituer le mieux possible cette beauté, TASCHEN a utilisé la meilleure technique d’impression au monde. L’ouvrage contient certains détails agrandis des œuvres qu’il est possible de déplier afin d’en profiter en grand format. (…) Un bijou."firstluxe.comFrance |

“It’s natural history at its raciest.”Culture & Travel Magazine, New YorkUnited States |

“Just out from TASCHEN, this book “Pancha Tantra” provides the first comprehensive viewing of Ford’s work in all its gory, hyper-real glory. …In a way, the publication of the enormous “Pancha Tantra” with an abundance of gatefold pages that, once opened, make the creatures seem to lunge at you - could be Ford’s book world stab at Cinerama.”Los Angeles Times, Los AngelesUnited States |

„Pancha Tantra, erschienen im TASCHEN-Verlag, ist ein Star unter den Bildbänden: groß wie ein Handtuch, kostbar wie ein Diamant. Es enthält Tierbilder des kultigen Amerikaners Walton Ford. Die wirken wie historische Illustrationen, sind aber tiefsinnig - oft sehr vieldeutige Fabeln.“Nürnberger Zeitung, NürnbergGermany |
|
“In Walton Ford’s Pancha Tantra, a compilation of Audubon-style satires, tigers, snakes, panthers and birds are painted as if caught in unbecoming arrangements.”Culture & Travel, New YorkUnited States |
|
“In a retro style with a modern edge, Walton Ford’s Pancha Tantra presents a cheeky take on the birds and the bees and the humans who torment them.”Culture & Travel, New YorkUnited States |
|
“A series of crossbreeds between John James Audubon and Henri Rousseau, Walton Ford’s life-size watercolors are now available in a less intimidating form: a limited-edition, gold-embossed book. Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra showcases a menagerie of his bestial tableaus, like primates plundering a dinner party or the elephant bird of Madagascar, now extinct, as it struggles to escape a noose.”New York Times T Magazine, New YorkUnited States |
