Beautiful Lies","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeautiful Lies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e documents Teheran-born, New York-based artist Ali Banisadr's 2021 show in Florence in honor of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri. The \"beautiful lies\" beneath which truth is hidden is an expression used by Dante in describing his writing - and allegorical poetry in general - and it is perfectly suited to Banisadr's work. His powerful brushwork and strong colors go below the surface of his personal reality, revealing violence and isolation, anguish and wonder, but also memories and imagination. For this show, which was split between two venues, he was commissioned to create an installation of site-specific paintings (also called \u003ci\u003eBeautiful Lies\u003c\/i\u003e). The text is by Sergio Risaliti, director of the Museo Novecento in Florence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergio Risaliti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8855210955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788855210959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forma Edizioni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.06w x 0.34d","brand":"Sergio Risaliti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48930330149119,"sku":"9788855210959","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ali-banisadr-beautiful-lies-sergio-risaliti-9788855210959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
