This book complements our temporary exhibition, “In Natures Realm: The Art of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh.â€ Compiled by Patricia H. Burke. 163 color pages, 12â€ x 10.5â€.

As a self-taught artist and ornithologist, Hardenbergh documented much of the flora and fauna of our local ecology in an era of taxonomical research and discovery. This book serves as a biography of the artist in its first section, and a visual catalog of works in its second. From the sleeve: “This book tells the story of a man who followed his own path and left us the richer for it.â€
