Essayist Stephen Bodio declares in The Art of Thomas Quinn, a book published by Global Interprint:

"He is a Zen swordsman of art who possesses a hunter's eye and can summon a poet's words, a man who knows in life and painting what to leave out and what to do. His work offers portals to an ethic that may delight you, and to spacious places where delight and discovery are not uncommon."

Indeed, mighty Quinn the Samurai of watercolor, who stands as tall as Michael Jordan, has spent decades cutting his own uncompromising path through the brambles of contemporary nature art, arriving in a place of solace —and with a reputation intact—that departs sharply from where most wildlife painters gather today.

The Art of Thomas Quinn serves as a marvelous guidebook to that spot, and it is a volume that should be perused by any serious nature artist or collector.


"They say Quinn's art is so different from normal western wildlife art because it seems so, well, Japanesey. That's true. It IS different, and it is influenced not by what you typically see in a hunting magazine but by Asian masters of antiquity."  —Ken Coburn 

Rest assured, I am not attempting to shamelessly shill, for it becomes obvious when you see it for yourself. This book, like Quinn's art, is a reminder why the pursuit of exquisite aesthetics and good taste remains a source of virtue.
