Bruno Zupan, Paris, 1963

"Part of Zupan's appeal is his willingness to take the necessary risks in terms of putting the emotive element back into landscape painting. He possesses the stunning confidence to put aside historical timidity and confront nature directly, and he has the rare painterly ability to translate passionate responses to it into transcendent works of art. His rhapsodic brushwork and singular vision have garnered him a worldwide following among those who still seek beauty in the art of painting. Bruno Zupan is one of the last great romantics and for that alone his work is worth treasuring."

The whole story weaves in and around prize winning reproductions of Bruno's recent paintings and watercolors - from his childhood in war-torn Yugoslavia and the Bohemian years in Paris that preceded his extraordinary introduction to the Deep South in 1964, to the glow of critical acclaim that surrounds his exhibitions from Manhattan to Madrid.

You will travel with the artist as he moves his easel through private gardens in Mallorca, into the liquid labyrinths of Venice, along the quays of Paris and back to the greeny depths of Georgia.

This intimate portrait of an artist at mid-career examines the sources of his inspiration, and attempts to explain how he goes about the act of painting - plein air, thoroughly unrestrained, mature.

 
"When the distinguished painter Bruno Zupan turned to printmaking, he brought to it the poetic spirit and the exacting eye that characterize his oils and watercolors. Like them, his graphic art is a powerfully personal expression of his emotional response to the world around him, a paean to the harmony of both the natural world and the human scene." Dennis Wepman

This chronologically organized catalogue of Zupan's graphic oeuvre may be used to order remaining hand pulled serigraphs made in his studios in Mallorca, or recent lithographs produced in Paris. Various techniques are explained, and each limited edition is described. These are unique works of art because the artist controlled each phase of production-from drawing more than 800 color plates to mixing his own inks. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist, and all of the plates have been destroyed.
