Birds
Description
Jim Moir loves birds. His popularity as a painter has soared in recent years and the simplicity and sincerity of his bird paintings have given them cult status among his fans. Now, for the first time, one hundred of these beautiful paintings are gathered together in this exquisite book. It is a book to remind us why we love birds: because of the shapes, movement, colours and sounds they bring into our lives.
'Jim’s process is more instinctive than constructed, which in turn makes it far more admirable and valuable than ‘clever’. There are plenty of clever artists, sometimes I enjoy unravelling their art, but I prefer art that talks to me, talks straight. Straight through my brain to my heart. Art made from love. Like this lovely flock of birds' Chris Packham
