Description
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., in association with The Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, Inc., (1995). Square octavo, gray cloth (hardcover), pink letters and decorations to upper cover, 192 pp. Near Fine, in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: A great artist may spend years painting one canvas, making infinitesimal changes in color, mood, and form until every element has been refined and perfected to satisfaction. Henry Francis de Pont was such a consummate artist , and the canvas was his beloved garden at Winterthur, du Pont’s home from his birth in 1880 until his death in 1969. The masterpiece that du Pont created in Delaware is now open for the public to enjoy, but for years it functioned as a private horticultural laboratory where du Pont -- primarily known as a visionary collector of works of the American decorative arts -- experimented as much with the landscape as with individual plant species gathered from the far corners of the globe. While today the garden may appear to be an informal, almost unplanned assemblage of plant varieties and colors, blooming in coincidental, if exquisite, sequence, in truth, every square inch and every happy juxtaposition of color were meticulously planned by its loving owner. The Winterthur Garden is the story of H. F. du Pon’t glorious lifelong love affair with his home as well as a biography of one of America’s great public gardens. Author Denise Magnani, director and curator of landscape at Winterthur, offers an engagingly intimate portrait of both the man and his environment, demonstrating how du Pont applied his world-renowned aesthetic sensibility to his work both in and out of doors. Magnani’s text and additional essays contributed by specialists from numerous disciplines are breathtakingly illustrated by lush new photographs of the garden taken by landscape photographer Carol Betsch. In these pages, the reader is invited to take a walk through Azalea Woods, breathe the fragrant air of the March Bank, and marvel at the view from Oak Hill. Step into the garden. Wonder at du Pont’s exuberant yet painstaking artistry. Experience what a lifetime of love, care, and effort may achieve. 112 illustrations, including71 plates in full color.
