Studies of Pike
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating collection of pencil drawings of various fish species, with a particular focus on the pike, created by the renowned British zoological artist, Elizabeth Forbes (1900-1993). These exquisite drawings were originally published in Forbes' book "Drawing at the Zoo," which was released in 1949. Forbes' dedication to her craft is evident in the intricate details and lifelike accuracy of her drawings. In this series, she masterfully captures the unique characteristics of the pike, from its elongated body and sharp, toothy jaw to the intricate patterns on its scales. The artist's ability to convey the fish's textures and movements is truly remarkable, making these drawings not only scientifically accurate but also aesthetically pleasing. The historical significance of "Studies of Pike" lies in its contribution to the field of zoological art. Forbes' work was part of a larger movement to document and study the natural world through art, and her drawings were used to illustrate scientific publications and educational materials. At a time when access to live specimens was limited, accurate and detailed drawings like these were essential for advancing scientific knowledge. The drawings were created at London Zoo, where Forbes had a studio and was granted special access to observe and sketch the animals. The zoo provided her with a unique opportunity to study the fish up close, allowing her to capture their true form and behavior. The resulting artwork is a testament to Forbes' skill and dedication as an artist and her commitment to advancing scientific understanding. Today, "Studies of Pike" remains an important historical record of fish species and a beautiful example of the artistry and scientific rigor of the mid-20th century. The drawings continue to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the natural world and the rich history of zoological art.
