Bugs and Other Insects

Using rare and fascinating specimens entrusted to him by the entomologists of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, painter and illustrator Bernard Durin (1940-1988) portrayed each insect as an "individual personality." 48 of his mesmerizing portraits adorn this publication-masterly paintings that outshine any imagery that today's most advanced computer animation could ever produce. von Durin, Bernard und Scherer, Gerhar
