Wet louis (23 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Louis de Wet (1930-2018), an artist-philosopher from South Africa, created a remarkable collection of drawings and paintings, employing Old Masters' techniques to reflect a contemporary world. This publication, written by his wife Gabrielle Drake, compiles de Wet's complete works alongside biographical details and memories from those who knew him. In 1983, de Wet and his wife purchased Wenlock Abbey in Shropshire, an eleventh-century priory, which he dedicated himself to restoring over thirty-five years. He believed that the past should inform the future, and his artistic vision flourished within the abbey's walls. De Wet enhanced the abbey with his artworks, including frescoes of biblical figures in the chapel and uniquely designed carved capitals for an oak screen, each representing significant places in his life. The book is structured around these capitals and the locations de Wet lived--Africa, London, Paris, and Wenlock Abbey. Each section features images of the capitals, biographical insights from Gabrielle, and reproductions of his works from those periods, including facsimiles of his Parisian sketchbook and paint color book. Contributions from local historian Vivien Bellamy, architect Andrew Arrol, and Christophe Voros, Director of the Federation des Sites Clunisiens, provide additional context and reflections on de Wet's extraordinary vision.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Louis de Wet (19302018) was an artistphilosopher born in South Africa. Over the course of his life, he created a significant body of meticulously crafted drawings and paintings, using the techniques of the Old Masters to express a contemporary world. This publication, authored by his wife Gabrielle Drake, brings together de Wet's full catalogue of works with detailed biographical information and recollections from those who knew and worked with him. In 1983, along with his wife, de Wet bought Wenlock Abbey in Shropshire, part of an eleventhcentury priory that was the daughter house of the great Burgundian abbey of Cluny. Considering the house to be his destiny, de Wet served it faithfully, restoring and refurbishing it over the course of thirtyfive years. Wenlock Abbey helped develop de Wet's artistic vision, substantiating his belief that the best from the past should inform, but not inhibit the future. He enhanced the fabric of the abbey with his own artworks, including a complete scheme of frescoed images of Old and New Testament figures in the chapel, as well as designs for the carved capitals of the oak screen he had inserted there. These capitals are a geographical biography, each carving showing a place of significance in de Wet's life. This book takes the capitals as its guide, and is organised around the places de Wet lived in during the course of his life: Africa, London, Paris and Wenlock Abbey. Each section starts with pictures of the relevant capital, and includes a biographical overview written by Gabrielle Drake and reproductions of de Wet's drawings and paintings from that period. There are also facsimiles of his Parisian sketchbook and his fastidiously compiled paint colour book. In additional text contributions, local architectural historian Vivien Bellamy details her personal recollections of de Wet and his extraordinary vision for the house; the architect Andrew Arrol outlines his renovation work on the property; and Christophe Voros, the Director of the Federation des Sites Clunisiens, recalls his first meeting with de Wet and Gabrielle in 2000, as well as their long collaboration together. Louis de Wet (19302018) was born in South Africa and studied at the Beaux Arts and La Grande Chaumiere, Paris, before taking British citizenship and settling in London. He remained there for thirty years, drawing, painting, studying and developing his ideas in his studio while travelling extensively around Europe and showing his work in various exhibitions. In 1983, along with his wife, de Wet bought Wenlock Abbey in Shropshire, which he faithfully restored until his death in 2018. It is now home to the Louis de Wet Foundation, which was established to preserve the abbey and offer cultural opportunities. 200 illustrations A publication dedicated to the life and work of the artistphilosopher Louis de Wet (19302018).
