NATURE WITHOUT NURTURE Walton Ford’s new watercolors depicting animals in struggle are on view at Paul Kasmin Gallery. His paintings of birds of prey and powerful mammals were inspired by sources such as an early memory of Leonardo da Vinci’s and the death of Irish Renaissance man Sir William Hamilton’s pet monkey. The 16-foot-long triptych “Le Jardin” portrays a bison surrounded by snow-white wolves, one of them lying bloodied in the foreground. Mr. Ford’s work resembles John James Audubon’s 19th-century renderings, a style that is both precise and romantic. Through Saturday, July 2, Paul Kasmin Gallery, 293 Tenth Ave. at 27th Street, 212-563-4474, free.
