{"product_id":"branching-out-miriam-oesterreich-9783965580732","title":"Branching Out: Botanical Metaphors and Worlding Art History from the 'Tropics'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis chapbook examines the aestheticization of plants in colonial discourses and charts visualizations of art histories that use the tree as a metaphor. In doing so, Miriam Oesterreich considers how 'tropicalized' tree forms have been reappropriated to portray a more 'worlded' art history. In the mid-twentieth century, prominent visual artists including Miguel Covarrubias, Alfred Barr, and Ad Reinhardt featured trees of art as canonizing illustrations of Western art history. Using Pablo León de la Barra's poster Diagrama Tropical\/Nova Cartografia Tropical (2010) as a starting point, Branching Out discusses works by contemporary artists from Latin America and the Caribbean to look at the subversive potential in reimagining plant images and metaphors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miriam Oesterreich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3965580736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783965580732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ICI Berlin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Miriam Oesterreich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580020834559,"sku":"9783965580732","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0301b66c-0a07-4921-a5ca-b705d68c13da.jpg?v=1763878247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/branching-out-miriam-oesterreich-9783965580732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
