<p>Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff's unique access over a long period of time has created drawings that capture what the camera cannot: the spirit of the lost kingdoms of Asia. He explores the architectural and spiritual wonders of the Himalayan kingdoms with brush and ink: from Nepal to Bhutan to India. Working continuously for 25 years, each drawing is dated and sited. Peltenburg-Brechneff decodes and maps exotic architecture and landscapes to grasp their creative dynamic, while uniquely preserving vanishing environments for posterity.</p>

<p>Over the past three decades, artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff has traveled around the world to visit some of the most glorious private gardens to paint en plein air. He has created a luscious visual record of 28 of them in this charming gift-sized book of watercolours and gouaches. With contacts among the international elite, the author has gained permission to enter some of the most exquisite and heretofore unrecorded gardens from Sri Lanka to Italy. With introductory texts by the distinguished art critic Donald Kuspit and the ever-influential interior architecture and garden designer Bunny Williams, Into the Garden chronicles this long-term pilgrimage of a visionary painter, opening the exquisite private gardens to the public for the very first time.</p>
