{"product_id":"abstract-landscapes-9781072723394","title":"Abstract Landscapes","description":"Two great American painters, Mark Rothko and Milton Avery, were both interested in the idea that the essence of a painting was not its illusory representation of \"reality and depth\" but instead the painting's colors and their relation to each other. Rothko thought that a painting should have no \"Representation of Reality\" at all. Just be blocks of different colors. And, while Avery agreed that Color Fields, colors and their relationship with each other, were a crucial element in a painting, he also thought paintings should have, however vague and abstract, some reference to \"Representational Reality\". In this series of abstract landscapes, I tried to find a Middle Path between \"Representational Reality\" and pure \"Color Fields\". Even though I later developed a more representational style similar to the German Expressionists, I still see my often heavily distorted representational images as opportunities for extreme use of non-representational color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5882498\"\u003eChris Coles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781072723394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1072723395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART050020\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Landscapes \u0026amp; Seascapes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42638544830701,"sku":"9781072723394","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_da1d0a96-7a03-41eb-af96-b3c9a91a942e.jpg?v=1649038697","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/abstract-landscapes-9781072723394","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
