Fantastic menagerie: The sinister majesty of Walton Ford's wildlife At first glance, Walton Fords large-scale, highly-detailed watercolors of animals may recall the prints of 19th century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear, and others of the colonial era. But a closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the operatic nature of traditional natural history themes. The beasts and birds populating this contemporary artists life-size paintings are never mere objects, but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles: a wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw; a troupe of monkeys wreak havoc on a formal dinner table, an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. The books title derives from The Pancha Tantra, an ancient Indian book of animal tales considered the precursor to Aesops Fables.
