Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Richard Ellis

New York Times, 5/29/2024

Richard Ellis, a polymath of marine life whose paintings, books and museum installations — especially the life-size blue whale at the American Museum of Natural History in New York — revealed the beauty and wonders of the ocean, died on May 21 in Norwood, N.J. He was 86. 

His daughter, Elizabeth Ellis, said the cause of his death, at an assisted living facility, was cardiac arrest. 

Mr. Ellis had no formal training in marine biology, conservation, painting or writing. But in fusing his artistic flair with an encyclopedic knowledge of ocean creatures, he became an invaluable, sui generis figure to conservationists, educators and those curious about sea life.
