Romance on Canvas - The Book

The Regular Edition

This special silver anniversary collection, featuring the works of Aldo Luongo, captures some of the most enduring moments from the great Romantic Impressionist painter's career. From his acrylics to his fine art prints, all of Luongo's pieces embody the same sense of fluidity and intensity; the results of a true artist engaged in a passionate process of creation.

 In "Romance on Canvas," Aldo Luongo uniquely blends the sensual with the cerebral, the simple with the sophisticated, as he evokes dramatic landscapes and spirited figurative paintings in a distinctly powerful impressionistic style. Though Luongo's is clearly influenced by such masters as Monet, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec, he infuses these styles with his own contemporary techniques to produce skillfully balanced and controlled works of art.

The Deluxe Edition

In addition to the regular edition of the book and to commemorate the release of Romance on Canvas, Scala Editions has created a special signed and numbered deluxe edition portfolio book set.

Designed in a classic style, the deluxe book is padded and bound in black linen, finished with its quarter panel and edges tipped in kivar. Aldo Luongo's signature is etched in gold on the front cover.

 Each book is presented in a slipcover case and is accompanied by a portfolio carrying two limited edition hand painted prints, entitled My Soft Purple Dream and All Smiles. Each set is signed and numbered by the artist, and is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.

The release date is December 20th, 1999. The suggested retail pre-publication price of the regular edition book is $79.00 and the deluxe book, including the prints, opens at $1600.
