Christopher Le Brun
Painter’s monograph
330 x 250, 320pp. 2001
Jacket text:
Le Brun who cites influences as diverse as Mallarmé, Delacroix and Guston, helped to set the pace for a fresh attack in painting from the early eighties onwards with his startling explorations of classical subject matter.
An introduction by Charles Saumarez Smith, director of the National Portrait Gallery, an essay by Norbert Lynton, art historian and critic, and dialogue with Bryan Robertson, former director of the Whitechapel Gallery, set Le Brun’s work in context.
This is the first major survey of Le Brun’s work and includes commissioned paintings, prints, sculpture, and drawings, together with documentary images of studio interiors and notebooks in facsimile. It combines the classic monograph with an artist’s perspective to produce a new hybrid, and a unique insight onto the creative process.
