John James Audubon: The Birds of America

Circa 1985, this documentary was produced by the National Gallery of Art to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Audubon's birth.  It was distributed by the US Information Agency as part of the ARTS AMERICA series. The video highlights Audubon's development as an artist with quotes from his journals, and illustrations from his original paintings, his prints and from other artists of the period. Images of Audubon's art are interwoven with live nature photography and footage of significant sites (including the area where Minniesland was located). We are happy to be able to present this documentary on our website for your pleasure, courtesy of archive.org.
