About this title

Synopsis:

Local artist, Phil Sandusky recounts 150 paintings that he created from 1987 to 2002 in the Crescent City. His subjects range from landscapes, street scenes, and architectural studies to the occasional figure study. This collection is more than a tourist's souvenir of historic architecture and picturesque cemeteries. While Sandusky does celebrate the city's seductive beauty, including its gracious mansions and verdant oaks, he also portrays its urban side, from dilapidated stonefronts to rusting cars. His creative eye has focused on many neighbourhoods of this historic city, including Uptown and Audubon Park, the Central Business District, Lakeview, and City Park, as well as the more well-known Garden District and French Quarter.

About the Author:

Phil Sandusky's first book with Pelican, New Orleans en Plein Air, was followed by Painting Katrina, an unprecedented artistic response to one of the worst natural disasters to impact the United States. He is currently represented by Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans, Reinike Gallery in Atlanta, and Stellers Gallery in Jacksonville. Sandusky has published several articles in American Artist, and he serves as instructor of landscape and life painting at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. His work can be seen in many prominent collections at museums such as New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana State Museum, and Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, Massachusetts.
