John James Audubon illustrates the Cerulean Warbler in Birds of America (published, London 1827–38) as Plate 48 where two birds are shown perched in a Bear Berry bush. The image was engraved and colored by Robert Havell's London workshops. The original watercolor by Audubon was purchased by the New York History Society where it remains to this day (March 2009).
Jonathan Franzen uses the Cerulean Warbler as a plot device in his 2010 novel, Freedom.
In the episode "The Big Picture" of the Curious George TV show, a book about the Cerulean Warbler by The Man in the Yellow Hat is published.

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“The art of life is the art of avoiding pain; and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
