The World of Owen Gromme 1983 1st Edition Introduction by Roger Peterson

The World of Owen Gromme is a celebrated retrospective of the life and work of the man often called the "Dean of American Wildlife Artists." Published in 1983 by Stanton & Lee, this oversized volume serves as both a biography and a high-quality art gallery, documenting Owen Gromme's profound impact on natural history and conservation.

THE BOOK IS A COMPREHENSIVE TRIBUTE TO OWEN J. GROMME (18961991), THE LONGTIME CURATOR OF BIRDS AND MAMMALS AT THE MILWAUKEE PUBLIC MUSEUM. IT FEATURES 122 FULL-COLOR REPRODUCTIONS OF HIS FINEST PAINTINGS, RANGING FROM THE INTRICATE BIRD PORTRAITS THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS TO EXPANSIVE LANDSCAPES AND SPORTING SCENES. EACH MAJOR PAINTING IS ACCOMPANIED BY GROMMES OWN PERSONAL COMMENTARY, PROVIDING A RARE LOOK AT THE STORIES AND FIELD OBSERVATIONS BEHIND THE ART.
