On Sculpted Wings
Have you ever looked up and felt the joy and rush of freedom as you watched a bird glide, swoop and dance through shifting currents of air? How can artists capture this motion and feeling so that the viewer can experience the freedom of flight? In this visit to the National Museum of Wildlife Art, we explore the challenges of representing birds in motion with sculptor Dan Burgette.
