This artist's book explores how her visual language merges her biography as an immigrant in a multiplicity of styles--including Persian miniatures, Japanese illustrations and Italian Renaissance paintings--creating a discourse between Eastern \"otherness\" and Western concepts of beauty. The key figure in the paintings represents Kahraman as a colonized woman; the repetitive nature of her work and the act of shredding and mending presents a history of displacement, loss and trauma. The book includes never-before-published images of the artist's work and her performance texts, plus new essays and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hayv Kahraman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997930624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997930627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pomona College Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Hayv Kahraman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991848976639,"sku":"9780997930627","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_536517d9-8740-402a-b178-c765e4d98ca0.jpg?v=1683312590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hayv-kahraman-hayv-kahraman-9780997930627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
