The Painted Bird: Louis Agassiz Fuertes is an exciting new exhibit opening at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago in a few weeks. It runs from 12 September 2008—Sunday, 4 January 2009. Several of the pieces on display are the renowned Abyssinia paintings, arguably some of the best works he ever painted and certainly notable in that they were his last. These works were completed during the 1926 Field Museum expedition to Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). Fuertes died tragically just three months after the expeditions culmination.

I recently came across your site. I have a couple of original Fuertes paintings. My Grandfather was on an expedition to Columbia in 1913 with Fuertes. If you would like for me to scan them and send you copies, I would be happy to. Cheers Brian
