{"product_id":"form-color-illumination-ulrich-loock-9780300125528","title":"Form, Color, Illumination: Suzan Frecon Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first major exploration of the works of American abstract painter and watercolorist Suzan Frecon (b. 1941), critically acclaimed for her sensitive arrangement of color, form, and texture, and for the philosophical resonance of her art. By restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based colors, and, in the case of her watercolors, \"found\" pieces of paper, Frecon achieves an unequaled sense of balance and openness in her work. The book features ten oil paintings and thirty watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eform, color, illumination\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the uniqueness of Frecon's painting and articulates how her work distinguishes itself within the history of abstract painting. The authors describe in-depth how her artistic process and materials are an integral part of her focus and aesthetic. Included is an essay revealing the \"ethics\" of her aesthetics--an argument for abstraction and an attention to truth that is not divorced from social and environmental concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for The Menil Collection \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Menil Collection, Houston (March 6 - May 11, 2008) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKunstmuseum Bern (June 11 - September 28, 2008) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Loock, Matthias Frehner, Sarah Eckhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300125526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300125528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Menil Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.61h x 8.47w x 0.74d","brand":"Ulrich Loock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311015391487,"sku":"9780300125528","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7781c88-e22a-44f6-9ccb-f98792510db7.jpg?v=1695720648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/form-color-illumination-ulrich-loock-9780300125528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
