Items related to Joseph Gandy: An Architectural Visionary in Georgian...
Joseph Gandy (1771ā1843) is a classic case of unrecognized genius. His dreams of being a great architect were frustrated, and his fame today rests on the imaginative power of his unrealized projects, on his superbly imagined reconstruction of Greek and Roman buildings and on the drawings in which he brought Sir John Soaneās most extravagant ideas to vivid life. Professor Lukacherās book, the first biography of this remarkable man, draws together the threads of his life and art, forcing us to re-assess one of the most original minds between Neoclassicism and Romanticism.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Joseph Gandy's life is in many respects the familiar saga of genius unrecognized. Upon his death he seemed to the world, and to himself, a failure. Having begun his career with high hopes, great imagination and exceptional talent, he ended it in a state of neglect and obscurity.That was in 1843. A century and a half later Gandy is recognized as one of the most original figures of English romanticism.Works such as his unearthly Pandemonium or his luminous Tomb of Merlin have a hypnotic power that no other artist could surpass - a power that he brought to bear on Sir John Soane's bizarre 'Monk's Parlour' at his renowned house-musuem in Lincoln's Inn and on the lost masterpiece of Soane's Bank of England in the City of London, buildings that we have come to see through Gandy's eyes.Brian Lukacher, the acknowledged authority on Gandy, has now written the definitive life of this architect-artist who exemplified the cultural temper of the romantic period. It is a fresh, deeply researched biography and a critical assessment of Gandy's work in its historical context. It is a tragic story but also an inspiring one, and a significant episode in the history of the architectural imagination and the visual arts during the nineteenth century. Joseph Gandy dreams of being a great architect were frustrated, and his fame rests on the imaginative power of his unrealized projects, on his superbly imagined reconstruction of Greek and Roman buildings and on the drawings in which he brought Sir John Soanes most extravagant ideas to vivid life. This book deals with his life and work. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780500342213
