Description: "Sublimely decorative yet deeply spiritual, Hunt Slonem's work is filled with light and color, with exotic birds and animals, saints and Hollywood stars. His art celebrates the glory of life while underlining the threats that our civilization poses to the natural world.".

"Donald Kuspit, noted critic and art historian, examines all the myriad facets of this extraordinary artist, including the lush, sensuous environment he has created in his studio over-looking the Hudson River in New York City. The studio is a work of art in itself, filled with hundreds of live birds and with plants, baroque furnishings, and brilliantly hued rooms that house a dazzling array of paintings.".

"The generous size of the volume and its sensitive, innovative design convey the artist's energy and passion. An illustrated biographical outline, bibliography, and list of exhibitions provide further information. All the works are reproduced in full color in this first full-scale retrospective on the work of a major figure in contemporary art."--BOOK JACKET.
