Summary:

Here in a volume of astonishing beauty is a menagerie of animals created by the acclaimed artist Walter Anderson. This colorful collection of art assembled from the hundreds of works he produced conveys his lifelong fascination with animals as inspiration for his artistic vision. For Anderson, that vision encompassed the realm of music, which he perceived in the animal world and translated into images in watercolor, oil, ink, pencil, clay, and wood. Anderson's animals resound with a timeless musical power. Mary Anderson Pickard writes in the introduction: "A rhythm of frogs encircles a cereal bowl. Across a sheet of typing paper flows a cat's melodic line. Horses resonate in wood or clay. In watercolor, curling green lizards harmonize with angled intervals of grass".
