PORTFOLIOS AND BOOKS: BESTIARY
Bestiary, a group of fifteen lithographs published and printed by the artist on arches paper (11" x 8") at the Pratt Graphic Center for Contemporary Printmaking, 1968
And God made the beast on the earth after his kind,
and the cattle after their kind,
and every thing that creepeth upon the
earth after his kind:
and God saw it was good.
Genesis
I think I could turn and live with
animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God
with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to the other, nor to his kind that
live thousands of years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth
So they show their relations to me and I accept them,
They bring me tokens of myself, they envince them
plainly in their posession.
Walt Whitman
Song of Myself
