Bruno Lucchesi: Sculptor of the Human Spirit

Photography by David Finn
Text by Dena Merriam

Bruno Lucchesi is a remarkable artist who seems to encompass with his own work several centuries of Western sculpture.  He has been called "the last of the Renaissance sculptors" because of his remarkable facility with the human figure.

This book presents the finest of Bruno Lucchesi's works - in wood, bronze, terra cotta, marble, ceramic, and fiberglass - as photographed by David Finn, who has made the photography of sculpture an art form in its own right.  Separate sections are devoted to Mother and Child, The Female Figure, Scenes of Daily Life, and Classical and Religious Themes.

This book features 17 colorplates and 178 duotone reproductions.  It also includes a chronology of the artist's career, lists of exhibitions and public collections, a bibliography, and an index.

Hardcover.
