{"product_id":"abstract-landscapes-chris-coles-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 Chris Coles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1072723395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781072723394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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","brand":"Chris Coles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947701862655,"sku":"9781072723394","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c1928286-f66f-4196-9b07-9323a9fc38dc.jpg?v=1681520286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abstract-landscapes-chris-coles-9781072723394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
