{"product_id":"enchanted-ground-gavin-parkinson-9781501337253","title":"Enchanted Ground: André Breton, Modernism and the Surrealist Appraisal of Fin-De-Siècle Painting","description":"\u003ci\u003eEnchanted Ground\u003c\/i\u003e is about the challenge to modernist criticism by Surrealist writers - mainly Andr  Breton but also Louis Aragon, Pierre Mabille, Ren  Magritte, Charles Estienne, Ren  Huyghe and others - who viewed the same artists in terms of magic, occultism, precognition, alchemy and esotericism generally. It introduces the history of the ways in which those artists who came after Impressionism - Paul C zanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh - became canonical in the 20th century through the broad approaches we now call modernist or formalist (by critics and curators such as Alfred H. Barr, Roger Fry, Robert Goldwater, Clement Greenberg, John Rewald and Robert L. Herbert), and then unpacks chapter-by-chapter, for the first time in a single volume, the Surrealist positions on the same artists. To this end, it contributes to new strains of scholarship on Surrealism that exceed the usual bounds of the 1920s and 1930s and that examine the fascination within the movement with magic.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gavin Parkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501337254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501337253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Gavin Parkinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064969621759,"sku":"9781501337253","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79db595b-3e7a-4a68-bc3f-a4bacb9ffbfa.jpg?v=1685398661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enchanted-ground-gavin-parkinson-9781501337253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
