Sinopsis

A collection of the letters of American architect Stanford White, written to his family over a period of more than 50 years, collected by his son Lawrence and presenting a private view of a man whose life has been scrutinised since his murder in 1906. These are accompanied by watercolours and sketches made on his travels in the USA and Europe.

Críticas

"These letters and sketches convey vividly the exhilaration of a young American architect coming to happy terms with his discovery of the beautiful edifices of an old Europe and the infinite potentialities of his own art to emulate them. White's appetite for living seemed never to be satiated; there seemed little borderline between his pleasures and his work, whether he was fishing, hunting, partying in Gotham, hiking over Mexican deserts infested with hostile Indians, or sketching, designing, projecting vast buildings and parks. Art was life."--Louis Auchincloss

Reseña del editor

These letters and sketches by Stanford White were left by Lawrence Grant White, when he died in 1956. He had mounted them in beautiful leather-bound books, each impetuously scribbled letter accompanied by a typewritten transcription. It was so obviously the labor of love and admiration of a son for his father that this alone made them precious.
