Thanks for posting about Stout. My mother got me his old Dinosaurs book when I was 4 or 5 and I still have it to this day. It was a revelation when I discovered Mucha and Art Nouveau, instantly the style used by Stout in that book popped into my mind. I think that book is responsible for my strong reaction to that subject matter and has shaped my artistic endeavors more than I would have ever though. Thanks for spreading the word about him.

I agree. The book is particularly worth waiting for in that Flesk always does a superb job with their books.

Unfortunately I live on the wrong coast to be able to easily see San Diego, but I can’t wait for the book that Flesk Publications has in the pipeline.
I just got some of his Sketchbook series books in today’s mail. I think he’s long overdue for a comprehensive art book on his entire career.

oakling,

Yes. What I was trying to say, though, is that prior to Knight and a few pioneering paleontologists, the bones were not displayed as mounted skeletons in the form of the animal, but as separate individual bones in glass cases.

These are very beautiful, but I have to say, an enormous life-size tyrannosaurus skeleton is a lot more awe-inspiring than a mounted butterfly to me :)
