Description
Francis Greenway: A Celebration
Author: Max Dupain
Hardcover with dust jacket. Very good condition.
Francis Greenway (1777-1837), Australia's first and perhaps greatest architect, arrived in 1814 in the ramshackle town of Sydney. In Governor Macquarie, he found a mentor and between them, in a very short space of time, they created an enduring legacy of some of Australia's finest buildings. Max Dupain has paid tribute to the beauty of the buildings in his patient search for the right angle and perfect light. The book presents an authoritative text telling the story of the turbulent life and times of the nation's most controversial architecture. It is at times an inspiring and tragic story.
