“When we awaken to each new day, whether we are aware of it or not, we are thrust into a world of infinite proportions and never-ending revelations. We have come from the secret work of our dreams, and with eyes open we encounter Earth and discover the ancient presence of a landscape alive with extraordinary beauty,” writes artist Robert Bissell in his book Spirit (Pomegranate, 2019). Bissell’s bears—contemplative and curious—seem to lead lives as complex and thought-filled as those led by humans. His paintings invite a sense of wonder and appreciation for our precarious connection with the natural world.

With subjects ranging from fine art, nature, and architecture to humor, the metaphysical, and more, Pomegranate’s interlocking jigsaw puzzles combine stunning images, superb color reproduction, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzle solvers alike.
