{"product_id":"anthony-amies-breaking-waves","title":"Anthony Amies: Breaking Waves","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Lost Landscapes of England\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Amies' paintings assert a classical conception of painting. From the mid 1970s, the British artis pursued a radical counter-concept to the art of his time with a stylistically peculiar landscape painting. They are calm and enigmatic pictures that do without any scandal. In large-scale drawings and oil paintings, he plays with the \"blot\" technique: Amies abstracts the landscapes to convey an idea rather than a realistic image. The reduction to land and sea is a reflection on England and the loss of its individual landscapes to the monotony of industrial and urban proliferation and sprawling housing estates. In this idiosyncrasy - the assertion of the genre of landscape painting and in the painterly quality of the works as a contribution to the assertion of painting in art - lies the importance of this English painter.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664303001636,"sku":"9783775754705","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783775754705.jpg?v=1777355723","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/anthony-amies-breaking-waves","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
