Rudolf de Crignis sufferred an untimely death at the age of 58, leaving a rich archive of the paintings for which he was best known, as well as a vast collection of drawings. The paintings at first appear to be simple monochrome canvases, but are actually built up from dozens of layers of translucent pigment. Displayed in natural light, the works are exercises in slow looking, unfolding as one views them from different vantage points (as de Crignis prescribed).
This new book, the first substantial volume on the work of this Swiss-American artist, presents a thorough overview of his spare and deeply meditative work. It also includes text from both Swiss and American experts, a full illustrated chronology, and traces his development as a renown colorist.
