Description
"Showing the wide range of Carl Laubin's work, this book presents him as one of the finest architectural painters of all time. Familiar in some circles for the brilliance of his depiction of architecture, he is known to others as a landscape painter, while his paintings of sculpture are informed by his interest in the human figure. Trained as an architect, he has the unique ability to enter into the minds of past as well as living architects, many of whom have commissioned him to depict and interpret their work." "The book follows the development of the architectural capriccio from the earliest incorporation of whimsical ideas in Laubin's paintings to the more elaborate architectural compositions based on the buildings of Wren, Hawksmoor, Cockerell and Ledoux. Laubin's declaration that from childhood painting 'allowed [me] to be in the world as [I] liked it to be' also points to the idealised nature of life as it appears in his art."--Jacket.
