The sky simulated by pink flamingos, study for a book on coloration in the animal kingdom - Abbott Handerson Thayer
The living sky of the flamingos: the artistic sensitivity of Abbott Handerson Thayer
This study, rich in nuances, shows a delicate composition where pale pink tones and pearly blues respond to each other to create an airy and almost scientific atmosphere. The pen and watercolor are visible in the subtle gradients, while the arrangement of the birds evokes both movement and serenity. The eye is drawn to the contrasts of hue and the fineness of the contours, which render the texture of the plumage and the diffuse light of the sky. This work invites contemplation, between naturalist observation and chromatic poetry.
by Abbott Handerson Thayer, master of naturalist study
Abbott Handerson Thayer, American artist and naturalist, made his mark through his research on color and camouflage at the turn of the 20th century. Influenced by the naturalist tradition and the scientific studies of his time, Thayer sought to understand the optical mechanisms behind animal perception, producing plates as aesthetic as they were documentary. His work fueled debates in ornithology and art, and remains a reference for specialists in color in the animal kingdom. This study of flamingos reflects his desire to combine observational rigor and pictorial sensitivity.
