"The rich architectural heritage of Bermuda, its beauty admired by all, its uniqueness preserved by many, its endangerment lamented by too few, inspires and informs the paintings of Bruce Stuart. Fifty fine examples of his work are reproduced here, with the lively accompaniment of John Adams's insights into our specially built landscape. This book is a tribute to a vision: to the men who looked to nature and the decorative arts and made out of them a harmonious architecture that complemented both, and to a visual artist who captures that harmony with unabashed honesty and freshness. As a combination of the distinctive talents of the brush, the pen, and the heart, this book is a visual dedication to the ingenious simplicity of what an old Bermuda house is really about.".
