{"product_id":"manet-catherine-dean-9780714827551","title":"Manet: Colour Library","description":"Edouard Manet (1832-83) was one of the greatest, as well as one of the most interesting, of nineteenth century French painters. Acute observation, an extraordinary skilful handling of paint and a feeling for exquisite harmonies of colour makes his work both vivid and enchanting. It is also of great significance in the story of European painting, since Manet, a pioneer in depicting modern life in a modern style, was a formative influence on the whole impressionist movement. \u003ci\u003eOlympia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Picnic \u003c\/i\u003eare among the key works of the nineteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese, and many other crucial points - among them Manet's personality, with its many contradictions - are fully discussed by John Richardson in his introductory essay, an abridged version of the brilliant text which was widely admired when it was first published in 1958 and which started a full-scale revival of Manet studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichardson's classic text was first revised in 1982, with notes to the forty-eight colour plates by Kathleen Adler and comparative illustrations to emphasize the quality, variety and character of Manet's work. This perfect introduction to the work of such an influential painter is now reissued in an attractive new design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Dean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071482755X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714827551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.91h x 8.86w x 0.33d","brand":"Catherine Dean","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057334776063,"sku":"9780714827551","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbe562d7-77c3-4b2c-8c38-d7f0d2806b06.jpg?v=1685046384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manet-catherine-dean-9780714827551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
