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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847869911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847869916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli Electa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 9.60w x 0.90d","brand":"David Brody","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990583509247,"sku":"9780847869916","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a296504-6211-4d71-8f21-873aa61ecce4.jpg?v=1683305504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luigi-lucioni-david-brody-9780847869916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
