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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Key  scholars  examine  Lucioni’s  oeuvre,  materials, techniques, and his role in American modernism.\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.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233354920165,"sku":"NP9780847869916","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847869916.jpg?v=1767731961","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/luigi-lucioni-isbn-9780847869916","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
