{"product_id":"spirit-of-painting","title":"The Spirit of Painting","description":"Catalogues Cai Guo-Qiang's recent exhibition at the Prado, the  first in over thirty years to focus solely on his painting, and the  first time that an artist had created on-site at the Prado. It explores Cai Guo-Qiang's ongoing dialogue with El Greco and the way he  established a relationship with the great masters represented in the Prado. It  reproduces nearly thirty paintings made with gunpowder, eight of which were ignited  on-site at the Salón de Reinos. It also features an oil and an acrylic created at the start  of his activities as a painter; and various sketches and drawings on matchboxes by his  father, Cai Ruiqin, who steered him towards painting. The catalogue includes texts  and essays by Miguel Zugaza, Alejandro Vergara, Kosme Barañano and Cai Guo-Qiang  himself, in which he reflects on his life and artistic career and on the principles and  concerns that have governed the evolution of his work.","brand":"Museo Nacional del Prado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663927644196,"sku":"9788484804031","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788484804031.jpg?v=1777407045","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/spirit-of-painting","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
