{"product_id":"9780500296530","title":"The World New Made : Figurative Painting in the Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eA celebration of the richness of figurative painting over the last 100 years and a passionate critique of the accepted history of art in the 20th century.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e Figurative painting is due a reappraisal. In this passionately argued volume the distinguished writer and artist Timothy Hyman cuts a new path through the tangle of twentieth-century art. The World New Made explores the work of more than fifty individual painters, presenting a collective 'Resistance' who together offer a human-centred alternative to the dominance of the Abstract or the Conceptual in conventional narratives of modern art. \n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e Structured not as a survey but as in-depth studies of more than 130 specific artworks, this lavishly illustrated book brings these often marginalized artists centre-stage: not just Alice Neel and Balthus, Max Beckmann and Frida Kahlo, but also Marsden Hartley and Charlotte Salomon, Bhupen Khakhar and Jacob Lawrence. A rich cast is brought to life, partly through their own writings. As the author argues, 'All across the world, isolated artists found new idioms for human-centred painting in the midst of modern life.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49825575076088,"sku":"EB_de0700_00000_SYDNEY","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780500296530-1.jpg?v=1783597927","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780500296530","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
