Arguably among the most influential British wildlife artists of the post-war period thanks to his bestselling books, John Busby had a gift for capturing the essence of a species with just a few lines, marks or washes. Fellow artist Darren Woodhead writes that Busby's drawings and paintings "live and breathe the magic of their subject. His gannets soar and hang, stall and drift again, riding the currents of air as lightly as the pencil glides. Howbeautifully his young foxes leap... how deftly the hand of the artist suggests the feathers and down of a barn owl."
