Dick, John Henry, 1919-1995

"Artist Naturalist" is how Dick described himself in his autobiographical book entitled "Other Edens" (1979). He established a reputation as one of the leading bird painters in the United States when he illustrated the "Warblers of America" (edited by Ludlow Griscom and Alexander Sprunt, Jr., 1957). He painted approximately 2,500 separate birds for the "Pictorial Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent" with text by Salim Ali and S. Dillon Ripley (1983). He painted about 600 birds for the "Birds of China" by Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee (1984).
