Tigers of Wrath: Watercolors by Walton Ford
June 16 through September 2, 2007

This exhibition will present approximately fifty of the artist's large-scale works on paper, most completed after 2000. These images of birds and animals are meticulously executed in a style resembling John James Audubon's Birds of America, but one that also contains veins of political and social discourse. By using the non-human world as a mirror for our own, Ford employs his skill as an artist and observer of people to communicate his subjective commentary on contemporary society.

Organized by the Brooklyn Museum.

This exhibition is made possible in part through the generosity of the R.H. Norton Trust and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Media Support provided by New Times.
