Published in conjunction with three Robert Lettner exhibitions staged across Hong Kong in 2017, this volume surveys artworks from the Austrian artist's long career from the 1960s until his death, focusing specifically on his interest in representing landscapes. It is the first publication of his work to appear in English and Chinese. Lettner immersed himself in the natural world, vividly depicting his vision on paper. He also was attracted to traditional art forms from the East, particularly the shan shui philosophy of landscape painting. He explored the artistic world through a language that combined the Chinese aesthetics of the void and watercolour landscapes
