About the book >.>.> Benedict Rubbra: Point of Balance by Jenny Pery is a comprehensive biographical study of the artist Benedict Rubbra, exam…ining his life and creative journey through a rich tapestry of over 150 works. The book emphasises the central themes of Rubbra's art, which are deeply rooted in the rhythms of nature, the cyclical links of genesis, decay, and regeneration, and the harmony found in both natural and man-made forms. Pery articulates how Rubbra's ruminative mind engages all his senses, allowing touch, taste, sound, and smell to enrich his artistic expression and evoke a sensory response from viewers. His ability to intertwine various experiences within a single image contributes to the complex originality of his work.Tracing Rubbra's life from his boyhood, Pery highlights his musical upbringing, with both parents being musicians?his father, Edmund Rubbra, a composer?setting the stage for his artistic development. The narrative details his time growing up in England and Italy, environments that nurtured his artistic temperament. The book follows Rubbra through his education at The Slade in 1956, providing in-depth insights into his evolution as a professional artist. Pery explores the spectrum of Rubbra's artistic output, from celebrated portraiture to meticulously constructed nature-inspired paintings.While the primary aim is to illuminate Rubbra's life and work, the reader is invited to develop a deeper appreciation of the artistic rigour and leitmotifs that define the painting world, making this study not only a tribute to a singular artist but also a reflection on broader themes in art.
