Wildness: Drawings and Prints by Fred Montague

Over the last four decades, Fred Montague’s activities in art, writing and teaching have centered on fostering environmental awareness and sustainable practices. Montague’s goal, in this quickly changing, more complicated world, is to offer a revitalizing link to our ecological context — Nature. In original pen and ink drawings, limited edition prints and books, he creates windows onto the natural world: highly-detailed stippling and hatching define the head of a bison or a river rock bed; a chat between ravens comes alive in the more abstracted and bold images that are characteristic of his woodcuts.
