Synopsis
Nearly twenty years after its first publication, Graham Rust's "The Painted House" has become an invaluable sourcebook of trompe l'oeil images for interior designers, artists, and students. Now Rust has created more than 100 new patterns for murals, panels, alcoves and doors, over doors, folding screens, and chimney boards. As with "The Painted House", Rust's intention is to provide designs for copying as much as inspiration, so each drawing is reproduced in as much detail as possible. Classical and modern images mingle in this collection, which includes landscapes, animals, fish and flowers, baskets, pots, drapery, trellises, and foliage, providing ideas for mural decoration, whether done personally or through the hands of an artist. Revisiting "The Painted House" is a tour de force of sketches, drawings, and completed works- with more than 200 colour illustrations - destined to become a classic.
About the Author
