But why does Bateman's work, of all the extraordinary wildlife painting that is being done today, evoke such a powerful response from the viewer? David M. Lank, the wildlife art critic believes that it is because Bateman's paintings "demand that you sense what is Inside a plank of weathered wood, that you feel the resilience of the branches and the sponginess of the moss. He wants you to think of what the heron sees through the clear riffle even though you yourself cannot... His paintings invite you to become an effective participant in the world he has created."
This is the first book to be devoted to Robert Bateman's work. The eighty-two colour plates offer a breathtaking opportunity for the reader to enjoy the tremendous scope of the paintings, from a tiny sparrow in a richly detailed streambank to a massive rhinoceros head; from an infinitely delicate heron to a majestic vista of elk dwarfed by the Rocky Mountains. In the accompanying commentary Bateman acts as a guide to his own paintings recalling encounters with wildlife subjects and pointing out unexpected features and details.
The profile of the artist by Ramsay Derry is a lively, informal account of Robert Bateman's career and personality. It traces Bateman's education and development from his early days as a teenage birdwatcher and artist to his present international success, and analyzes the unique combination of artistic sensibility and scientific knowledge that contributes to his remarkable talent.
