In conjunction with an exhibit that first appeared at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle in fall 2000, this catalog features the watercolors and diary notes of a contemporary British artist-naturalist who ventured Thoreau-like into the woods. Duncan (art history, Yale U.) introduces Foster's views mainly of North American wilderness and South American rainforests, and lists his career highlights and works.
