Visual artists have long expressed and reworked these foundational stories. This is the first book to unite myth-inspired artworks by ancient, modern, and contemporary artists, from Botticelli and Caravaggio to Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Cahill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714875236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714875231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 10.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018 pg. 62","brand":"James Cahill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992298488063,"sku":"9780714875231","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84aacfb6-c6d3-497d-ab6a-73e3cbfb9fc2.jpg?v=1683315228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flying-too-close-to-the-james-cahill-9780714875231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
