Walton Ford


Walton Ford is an American artist who makes paintings and prints in a naturalistic style similar to that of Audubon. “Ford’s meticulous paintings satirize the history of colonialism and the continuing impact of slavery and other forms of political oppression on today’s social and environmental landscape. Each painting is as much a tutorial in flora and fauna as it is as a scathing indictment of the wrongs committed by nineteenth-century industrialists or—locating the work in the present—contemporary American consumer society” (Art21).
