Hunt Slonem, an international art and society celebrity is renowned for his bunny art and this is the first published collection. Rabbits are a perennial of children's books and an iconic image for adults as well. Set to publish for Easter, the holiday where the rabbit rules supreme! A luxurious collection, finely-designed and crafted and as much of an artwork as the painting themselves. Exciting, unexpected, impressionistic - the Slonem bunny paintings run the gamut. This is a mega collection for the adult and child alike that is publishing for the Easter holiday but is sure to last for many years to come. A treasury filled with enchanting full-colour and black-and-white paintings by celebrated artist Hunt Slonem, Bunnies features a foreword by bestselling author (and friend of the artist) John Berendt, and an essay by artist and gallerist, Bruce Helander. John Berendt writes, "Every morning, upon rising - even before he's had his first cup of coffee - Hunt Slonem performs his daily warm-ups . He approaches his worktable where a stack of small rectangular panels awaits. Some of the panels are made of wood, some of Masonite. In the course of the next half hour he will have populated all the panels with rabbits. These paintings are what he calls his warm-ups."
