that link genesis, decay and regeneration, the
patterns and harmonies to be found within
natural and man-made forms - these are
the essential concerns that underlie all
Benedict Rubbra's work. Not only his ruminative
mind but each of his senses is
engaged in the act of creation. Touch and
taste and sound and smell infiltrate every
aspect of his art, evoking a sympathetic
sensory response from the viewer. Music
seems to emanate from his paintings.
Rubbra has found a unique way of combining
multi-stranded experiences within a single
image, and it is this that gives his work its
complex originality."
So writes Jenny Pery of her subject in her
enthralling study of the life and work of the artist
Benedict Rubbra. This superbly produced biographical
study contains over 150 works by the artist
accompanied by a compelling and illuminating text.
The book traces the artist's life from boyhood,
(his parents were both musicians; his father the
composer, Edmund Rubbra), growing up in England
and in Italy.This potent mix of artistic temperament
and rich environment provided a background from
which the young artist emerged, enteringThe Slade
in 1956. Peryprovides a fascinating insight into the
development of the professional artist and his
work, from his celebrated portraiture to his
precisely constructed paintings taken from nature.
While the principal purpose of the book is to
reflect on the life and work of a single artist, the
reader is brought to an greater appreciation of
the influences, inspirations and leitmotiv that inform
the world of painting and painters.
