Bruno Leti Books

Examining the artistic journey of Bruno Leti, this book delves into his 60-year career, focusing on his unique creative process rather than providing a mere catalog of works. It highlights Leti's diverse use of materials, including painting, photography, printmaking, and drawing, showcasing both figurative and abstract styles. The monograph emphasizes his consistent fascination with color and form, featuring a rich palette of sage, plum, and russet hues that recur throughout his body of work, revealing his methodical approach to art.

Born in Italy and arriving in Australia in 1951 aged 10, Australian artist and frequent traveler Bruno Leti revisited Florence in 2019 and was captivated once again by the trio of ancient buildings clustered at the city-center. His photographic details of the distinctive, geometrically patterned stonework of the Cathedral, Baptistry and Campanile have inspired a stunning series of twenty large abstract prints, produced in editions of five, which are featured in this publication. The book also includes a history of the buildings and sketchbook images made by Leti during his most recent visit to beautiful, historic Fiorenza.
