{"product_id":"jim-dine-jim-dine-9783882432404","title":"Jim Dine: Birds","description":"A childhood encounter with a crow at a zoo led to a lifetime fascination with avian life for the American artist Jim Dine. This encounter with the bird was perceived by the young Dine with a mixture of fear, fascination and a deeper understanding of his unconscious world, and from it grew a mythic personal symbolism, which he explores in \u003ci\u003eBirds\u003c\/i\u003e, a series of remarkable black-and-white photographs. Here, an everyday, unspectacular bird might appear to the beholder as a character of mythology, as a jester at a Medieval court, or as a strange messenger from a world behind the scenes. These are rich, intimate, darkly detailed images imbued with symbolism and meaning. They are also beautiful and compelling, particularly as published in this spectacular volume, which, with 36 images printed using a technique called heliogravure, and with a Japanese binding, is a truly beautiful object in itself, and reveals a new aspect of Dine's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Dine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3882432403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783882432404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.60h x 11.98w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/2001 pg. 38","brand":"Jim Dine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372483563775,"sku":"9783882432404","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4784c028-69c3-47b1-bd95-b1a51cd042c3.jpg?v=1732726069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jim-dine-jim-dine-9783882432404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
