Wings from Cover: The Upland Images of Robert Abbett and Ed Gray

By Ed Gray

Book Overview

This book, second in the continuing Images series, features the vibrant, original essays of author Ed Gray and the work of a famed American artist -- in this case, the incomparable Robert Abbett. Join the two on a trek of the autumn uplands, from golden ranges and croplands teeming with pheasants and sharptails to the hallowed, sun-dappled coverts of grouse.-- The oversized format and exacting reproduction provide a delightful showcase for Mr. Abbett's magnificent renderings of sporting dogs, upland game birds and autumn landscapes. This treasured volume is a faithful visual and verbal portrayal of the American sporting tradition as we know it at the close of the 20th century.-- While his choice of subject is wide-ranging, Robert K. Abbett is best known for his work in sporting art and associated rural scenes. He is a member of Who's Who in American Art and The Society of Animal Artists and has won numerous conservation stamp/print competitions. He and his wife, Marilyn, split their time between their Connecticut farm and a studio in Arizona.
