Soft cover 29X32 cm 276 pp. ill.: pictures architectural drawings; net weight 2200 gr.</p><p><strong>Michael Sutton - </strong><em>A long life briefly</em></p><p>In helping to assemble this book which includes most of my work over the past sixty years I'm left with one overriding emotion – gratitude. For so many things – people family friends clients so many circumstances luck if you will – that have helped and guided me through a long and happy life.</p><p>In a way luck started from birth 2.6.1928.</p><p>.</p><p>Even before university I had been working for Steffen Ahrends who has remained a big influence on my work. He was a product of the famous Bauhaus and had to flee Nazi Germany before the war. His insistence on honest materials basic simplicity and good proportions based on human scale remained with me.</p><p>Wits University 1951 to 1956 was a great experience. The help and kindness of fellow students lecturers and Professor Fassler made it possible for me to graduate easily.</p><p>In 1956 I shared a flat with Tom Russell then a film and music critic on <em>The Star</em>. Since then and off-and-on for neigh on 60 years he has remained my best friend companion – and architectural critic. We built or renovated at least 7 houses together.</p><p>In 1961 Tom persuaded me to start on my own – up till then I had only occasional small commissions from friends. My practice had its ups and downs like all businesses. First partner was John Griffiths whom I knew in Steffen's office. Then came David Walker who was a great help in running the office organizing and supervising building work thus leaving me time for design work. His command of the office allowed me to travel overseas often including 6 months inIndia and Nepal in 1971 and many months at a time in Greece.</p><p>In the sixties after a failed two-year marriage I belatedly enjoyed sowing a few wild oats. It was the time of the hippy - flower power - Timothy Leary - joss sticks - "joints" - yoga. I joined three Spanish friends in India in spite of only a 72 hour transit visa and an airport sign "No Dogs and South Africans allowed". Then I went on my own following a sadhu on foot train or bus from Kashmir to Rajasthan sleeping in caves shrines on station platforms. Tragedy struck when my very dear Spanish friend ended his life in Delhi.</p><p>I came to Greece because Tom as a journalist had had enough of apartheid politics in South Africa and had emigrated. His criticism of the junta in Greece landed him in trouble. He fled to Cyprus taking his caique yacht with him. When he decided to sell it I jumped at the chance. "Sofia" became my new love. A year later – drama! The day after we sailed out of Kyrenia harbour every boat there was sunk by the invading Turks. That was in July 1974. Luck again.</p><p>I spent more and more time on "Sofia" exploring the islands of Greece fascinated and inspired by their beautiful architecture. Then came one commission after another to design houses for wonderful Greek clients. The office in South Africa closed when David with his family emigrated to Australia.</p><p>In 2000 Tom and I returned to the new South Africa. We built a lovely house in Stanford which we enjoyed but we missed Greece. Five years later we moved back.</p><p><em>"</em><em>My architectural philosophy or whatever you call it is best stated by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa: I have always enjoyed seeing buildings but seldom enjoyed explanations about them – as I feel with others that architecture cannot be totally explained but must be experienced </em><em>… this book includes most of my work over the past sixty years…" - </em><strong>The author.</strong></p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p><strong>IMPORTANT: The shipping cost is an important parameter of this order; it is in NOT included in the price and depends on the actual weight and destination; you will have to approve it after the confirmation of the order.

2013411177Houston: Menil Foundation; Yale 2013. First edition. Generally a clean copy. 11 x 9.75 inches. 128 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket. Includes 62 color illustrations. "Luc Tuymans b. 1958 is a painter engaged with "figuration" using imagery that he reworks in a critical or self-critical way. He combines images from various sources--photographs film stills mirror images--with a spare palette unexpected cropping and blurring to reinforce the painted image's status as a replica. Perhaps more than any other genre portraiture allows Tuymans to explore the balance between revealing and concealing and to comment on history and its perpetrators. Portraits. Luc Tuymans presents 35 paintings from bodies of work ranging over the artist's entire career. Most seem conventional portraits --Himmler 1997/98 A Flemish Intellectual 1995--but others such as Bloodstains 1993 and Fingers 1995 exhibit the artist's elliptical approach to re-presentation. Tuymans's canvases are placed in counterpoint to his selections from the Menil Collection: masks statuary and paintings from African ancient Mediterranean and Native American cultures as well as European figurative works. The assembly explores such themes as death and memorials ritual or religion power evildoers and altruism" the publisher. Menil Foundation; Yale unknown
