"Las acuarelas de Walton Ford reunidas en el regalo perfecto."
Vogue
Spain
“Um norteamericano de 48 anos que usa um traço bem conservdor para retratar situaçoes perversas e violentas com animais. Uma ediçao de luxo. Pancha Tantra é um livro indiano de fabulas (dos seculos III a V antes de Cristo) e foi o nome escolhido para esta ediçao de TASCHEN, limitada a 1500 copias, numeradas e assinadas pelo autor.”

"Le Pancha Tantra, recueil de contes indiens animaliers, date du IVe siècle avant J.-C. Celui de Walton Ford, artiste américain né en 1960, est un singulier bestiaire intemporel. Ses aquarelles peuplées de buffles, de lions, de serpents et d’oiseaux de toutes sortent lancent au contemporain des clins d’œil inquiétants. Sous une apparence candide, proche de celles des peintures coloniales du XIXe siècle, ces contes visuels transportent le spectateur dans un monde de rêve ou de cauchemar. Le style en est rassurant, le contenu dérangeant. Ce «bestiaire psychanalytique», agrémenté de seize reproductions dépliables, offre pour la première fois une exploration en profondeur de l’œuvre de Walton Ford. Un ouvrage intriguant, merveilleux et…indispensable."

"Even more powerful, from TASCHEN books comes natural selection in all its savage beauty in the form of watercolors of beasts and birds painted by Walton Ford. This luxury edition is offered in two forms one of which will oblige you to break your piggy bank (The Collector”s Edition), or the other, your own piggy bank plus those of every member of your family (The Art Edition). Take your pick. Personally, I know which one I would go to."

"Encore plus fort chez TASCHEN, découvrez la beauté sauvage de la sélection naturelle. Oiseaux et animaux peints à l’aquarelle par Walton Ford. Cette luxueuse édition existe sous deux formes pour lesquelles vous devrez casser votre tirelire («Edition Collector») ou la vôtre plus celle de tous les membres de votre famille («Art Edition»). Bref, il ne vous reste plus qu’à choisir entre les deux. Moi, je sais celle que je choisirais. Et vous?"

Der riesige Band ist in einer limitierten Auflage von 1600 Exemplaren in einer maßgefertigten Buchkassette erhältlich. Ein Bestiarium, das dem Wilden im Menschen spektakulär den Spiegel vorhält.“
