Melbourne University Press is releasing this October Bruno Leti by Thomas Middlemost.
To celebrate, MUP are offering discounts on pre-orders.
This book not only lets the reader travel swiftly through beauteous image, and some wonderful text through the life of an exceptional late career artist who’s work is just as vital as it was in the 1970’s, but also through the diverse locations of that art; from the small town in Italy of Roccantica, of his birth, and his visits to Rome as a child, to his home town of Melbourne; a family, the surrounding city scapes, markets and gardens, to America, China, Herculaneum and Japan. This extremely thoughtful artist printmaker/painters life in images is the perfect analgesia for the lack of travel enforced upon us in recent years.

Leti tends to work in series that hold a continuity and common inspiration similar to that of an artist’s book. The whole of the book-cover texture and holistic feel-is the artwork and to contemplate a single artwork in isolation is to neglect the forest for a tree.
Bruno Leti: Series lays bare a life of art, of intertwined visual and theoretical revelations, inspirations and chance encounters, prudently curated for the joy of discovery. Composed by both Leti and editor Thomas Middlemost, it is a longitudinal study of curiosities, with added observations by other contributors. Describing the inspirations for different series and laying out many of the artist’s works across time, Series revels in the continuing body of painting, printmaking and photography produced by this ever-productive elder statesman of monotype.
