约翰一. 鲁斯温:一件美国珍宝正在出售
辛辛那提——“一个人的生命不足以完成所有的事情. I’ll keep painting as long as birds fly and I can lift a brush.——约翰·A. 鲁斯温.
约翰一. 鲁斯温的一生充满了故事. Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) is helping to share them in a new biography published by the museum, 由著名鸟类学家. 杰罗姆·杰克逊博士. 贝蒂·杰克逊，安妮塔·巴克编辑. 约翰一. 鲁斯温:美国的宝藏 is available for purchase now at CMC and the National Exemplar.
鲁斯温与CMC有着悠久的历史, dating back over 80 years when he donated his first specimen at just 10 years old. 从那时起, he has helped bring thousands of specimens into CMC’s collections, building a rich and robust natural catalog by which scientists and historians learn more about our region and the natural and wild spaces around the globe. He also built a career as the nation’s preeminent wildlife artist – a 20th-century Audubon.
“约翰是个了不起的艺术家, 多产和创新, 也是一位伟大的自然历史学家,德维尔·伯特说, emeritus director of the Cincinnati 自然历史博物馆 and longtime friend of 鲁斯温. “他是一个探险家，一个跋涉的探险家. 他喜欢野外，喜欢稀有和不寻常的地方. 他喜欢寻找濒危和稀有物种.”
约翰一. 鲁斯温:美国的宝藏 是漂亮的精装本吗, 180-page coffee table book that captures the character of a man known for his unfailing enthusiasm, 慷慨和亲切的好幽默. It also includes full color reproductions of 鲁斯温’s artwork, showcasing his extraordinary ability to depict the natural world in stunning detail. Readers will be charmed by 鲁斯温’s stories of life growing up in the woods and wild spaces outside Cincinnati, his service with the Navy during World War II and wildlife expeditions to the Philippines, 冰岛, 非洲及其他地区.
“I’m so pleased with the way the book captures the richness and the integrity of the artwork,鲁斯温看完传记后说. “这本书的真正之美, 虽然, are those moments I didn’t paint; the family photos, photos from the field or in the studio that really illustrate the story behind the brushstrokes.”
The book is dedicated to all who are inspired to create, teach and explore. It is one way CMC is celebrating 鲁斯温’s legacy and the 200th anniversary of the 自然历史博物馆 & 科学. 西方博物馆协会, 中央军委的前身, was founded in 1818 and in 1819 hired as its first employee one of 鲁斯温’s greatest inspirations – a not-yet-famous John James Audubon. Audubon’s influence on 鲁斯温 is evident in his artwork and his love of nature. Just as 鲁斯温 carries forward the legacies of naturalists like Audubon who came before him, so, 太, will a new generation be inspired to carry 鲁斯温’s legacy forward.
One way CMC is helping to carry that legacy forward is with the 约翰一. 鲁斯温荣誉勋章. 鲁斯温 was the recipient of the inaugural award in 2019 for his lifetime of exploration, 保护和倡导. The award will be given out in future years to those personally contributing to the preservation, research and advocacy of natural history and science and CMC’s collection and research programs.
“We are grateful to John for his intrepid spirit of adventure, his creative genius and his infectious love of nature and science,伊丽莎白·皮尔斯说。, 辛辛那提博物馆中心的总裁兼首席执行官. “He inspires generations forward to honor the natural world, to be curious learners and to share joy.”
The National Exemplar hosted a book launch event on February 24 that welcomed an eager audience of over 60 guests. 作为马里蒙特的居民, 鲁斯温 is an icon in the community and the National Exemplar, 一家他每周都去的餐馆, 这里是新书发布会的绝佳地点.
约翰一. 鲁斯温:美国的宝藏 is available to purchase at Cincinnati Museum Center and the National Exemplar for $49.95. All proceeds from the book sales support the care of CMC’s science collections and honors 鲁斯温’s legacy. Please call (513) 287-7000 for information about purchasing the book.
约翰一. 鲁斯温:美国的宝藏 是博士写的. 杰罗姆·杰克逊, professor emeritus of Ecological 科学s and former Whitaker Eminent Scholar in 科学 at Florida Gulf Coast University, 博士和. 贝蒂·杰克逊, professor and former chair of the Department of Biological 科学s at Florida Gulf Coast University.
