{"product_id":"world-new-made","title":"The World New Made","description":"\u003cb\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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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. \u003ci\u003eThe World New Made\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\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.'","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42523314520100,"sku":"9780500296530","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9780500296530.jpg?v=1777407021","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/world-new-made","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
