Rudolf Stussi | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The Swiss-Canadian painter Rudolf Stussi has become known for his oil paintings, watercolours, and acrylic paintings, which show city views and figures in an extreme, 'askew' perspective and therefore alienate the viewed world and make it more dynamic. Through the development of his own 'fifth perspective,' Stussi provides an entirely new answer to one of painting's ancient fundamental questions. This richly illustrated book presents a selection of his works from the past 15 years: city views and landscapes (from Berlin and New York, from Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Jerusalem and developing countries among others), figurative fantasy worlds, portraits and book illustrations (e.g. for Johanna Spyris' Heidi ). The artist himself has his say in unusual autobiographical stories.
