Arno. Seton-Tompson E.

Canadian writer E. Seton-Tompson one of the first to truthfully describe the world and habits of animals. For him, a wild bear, and an elusive lone wolf, and even the stubborn puppy Chink, who considered himself an adult formidable dog, was of great interest.

the story of a pigeon Arno seemed no less amazing. Not so long ago, pigeons were in postal and even military service. Arno was considered the best of these pigeons, he easily won all competitions and with a brilliance withstood the final exam in a special pigeon school. With a message on the paw, he unmistakably raced to the goal, and many people owed him their salvation. But once there was a man who decided that Arno would serve only him.

Illustrations for this book was created by Vadim Alekseevich Gorbatov, one of the best Russian animal artists. In search of inspiration, he traveled from the polar tundra of Siberia and Alaska to the jungle of Cambodia and Ecuador. His works are included in the Almanac “300 years of animalism” and “Modern animalism” published in the UK. In creativity, the artist considers it important to show the beast or bird in the landscape so that the viewer feels that they are not drawn, but are an integral part of the picture. His work on canvas and paper is an opportunity to capture the admiration of that divine pristine harmony called wildlife.
