LENTZSCH, FRANZISKA, WITH CHRISTOPH BECKER, CHRIST FUSELI: The Wild Swiss
Lentzsch, Franziska, with Christoph Becker, Christian Klemm and Bernhard von Waldkirch. FUSELI - The Wild Swiss. 272 pp., roughly 200 color plates, numerous color and b&w figures. 4to, cloth. Zurich, Scheidegger & Spiess, 2005. This lavishly illustrated collection examines Fuseli's most famous paintings as well as the artist's early sketches, his monumental historical paintings, and his rarely seen erotic drawings. Accompanying critical essays trace Fuseli's own evolution-from his forced exile at twenty-five after publishing a volatile pamphlet against the local Zürich government, to his later activities as a member of the British Royal Academy of Arts. The most comprehensive volume ever published on this master of the fantastic. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Kunsthaus, Zurich.
