Lucioni is known for meticulously rendered still lifes, landscapes, and arresting portraits drawn from his close-knit circle of queer New York artists and cultural figures, including Paul Cadmus, Jared French, George Platt Lynes, and Lincoln Kirstein. In the early 1930s, Lucioni discovered Vermont, whose landscapes reminded him of northern Italy. It was there that he met Electra Havemeyer Webb, who was to become his single most important patron. For more than 50 years, the New York City-based artist spent every summer painting landscapes of trees, barns, and buildings in Vermont with sharply observed realism and a cool, precise style. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Key scholars examine Lucioni's oeuvre, materials, techniques, and his role in American modernism.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Brody\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Design Studies at Parson School of Design at the New School. \u003cb\u003eThomas Denenberg \u003c\/b\u003eis Director of Shelburne Museum. \u003cb\u003eKatie Wood Kirchhoff\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Curator at Shelburne Museum. \u003cb\u003eAlexander Nemerov\u003c\/b\u003e is Carl and Marilynn Thoma Provostial Professor in the Arts and Humanities and Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University.\u003cb\u003e Nancie Ravenel\u003c\/b\u003e is Object Conservator, Preservation and Conservation at Shelburne Museum. \u003cb\u003eRichard Saunders\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Middlebury College Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 10.6 x 9.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 03, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42698613456959,"sku":"9780847869916","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4055bf686caa3278fea7ac32e3189ea9.webp?v=1765010772","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/luigi-lucioni-modern-light-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
