The Art of the National Parks

About this book

Explore the majesty of the United States National Parks through the eyes of contemporary artists.

This beautiful art book displays the unique beauty of each U.S. National Park. Fifty-Nine Parks collaborated with acclaimed contemporary artists and designers from around the world to create original posters that celebrate the unique beauty of each of the now 62 parks in the U.S. National Park system. The wildly successful poster art is now available as a collection for the first time in this gorgeous art book.

Inspired by classic W.P.A. posters of the 1930s, each poster is a unique and original reflection of the talent and perspective of the contemporary artist who created it, resulting in a one-of-a-kind tribute to the majesty of the national parks.
