Afterglow in the Desert: The Art of Fernand Lungren

Essays by Elizabeth Brown and Jane Dini. This examination of Fernand Lungren, Santa Barbara's most important early 20th century artist, includes over 70 paintings, watercolors, and drawings. They trace Lungren's career from early rainsoaked depictions of London and New York to sun-drenched and windswept vistas of the American desert. Afterglow in the Desert is a revelation of the artist's remarkable use of color to capture the grandeur and variety of the Southwestern landscape. In his own words, Lungren sought to portray the landscape's "unfathomable mystery, its solitude, its unspeakable thrills . . . and the subtle caress of its feverish winds."
