Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3]

“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.com France

“It’s natural history at its raciest.” Culture & Travel Magazine, New York United 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 Angeles United 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, Nürnberg Germany

“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 York United 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 York United 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 York United States

”Las acuarelas de Walton Ford, poderosas magnéticas, realizadas en tamaño natural y siguiendo fórmulas tradicionales, recogen el testigo de los antiguos cuenta cuentos y añaden una dosis de intriga y crítica.” Vanidad, Madrid Spain

“Ford’s paintings blur the line between animals and humans as they open the doors to a world of fantasy, dreams, and nightmares.” Florida International Magazine, Miami United States

“American artist Walton Ford is perhaps best described as Audubon on acid. The Naturalist-gone-nuclear’s intricate, dazzling, and sometimes disturbing watercolors might be mistaken at first glance as antiques―until you notice some the animals are engaged in sex acts, cannibalism, or other supposed ‘unnatural’ behavior. Ford’s outsized talent gets a suitable forum in an opulent, signed, limited-edition volume, Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra.” BlackBook, New York United States
