In The World of Peter Greenaway, Leon Steinmetz introduces general audiences to the artwork of Peter Greenaway. Long admired for his films, Greenaway is also a celebrated artist, with his drawings, photography, and paintings appearing in galleries worldwide. Presented in the same format as his personal journals, this book allows us a rare glimpse into the images and vision that give rise to Greenaway's films. Using actual frames from his films, and studies for those films, this volume provides us a unique opportunity to see the bridge that connects the worlds of painting and cinema.
