{"product_id":"art-firsts-nick-trend-9781399601436","title":"Art Firsts: The Story of Art in 30 Pioneering Works","description":"The story of art is not always the story of art-historical 'isms' and complex academic debate. The real history is often the story of some very simple firsts - the first time an artist painted themselves, the first time someone painted a smile, the first actual place to be depicted, the first feminist artwork, the first anti-war work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Art evolves and revolutionises itself through these simple - but ground-breaking - creative leaps. \u003ci\u003eArt Firsts \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together 30 of these pioneering firsts to piece together an original approach to looking at and appreciating art, as well as understanding where it has come from and how it relates to you. Each first is approachable and engaging, while each work is simply and satisfyingly explained. Every work is also fully illustrated, and its significance is shown through images of the subsequent artists directly inspired by them. \u003ci\u003eArt Firsts \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a refreshing and fascinating narrative for those curious about why so-called 'masterpieces' are so important and how the story of art can be boiled down to flashes of fascinating brilliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Trend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399601431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399601436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/2023","brand":"Nick Trend","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133429838079,"sku":"9781399601436","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6bca743-a32e-42b9-8a10-7ea892e4d02a.jpg?v=1687486071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-firsts-nick-trend-9781399601436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
