De Jes俍 became known for his dazzling skeleton characters, depicted working, celebrating, walking the streets, or crossing borders etched on amate --a bark paper used in Pre-Columbian times to paint manuscripts. He also expressed his political commitments in powerful large-scale paintings and banners that tackle a wide range of urgent themes including immigration, human rights, and environmental instability. His artistic influences range from Mexican artistic traditions to international experience in cities like Chicago, Paris, and Jakarta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e De Jes俍's work also addresses crises as recent as the storming of the US Capitol, as well as the repression faced by migrants and Black Americans, and the disasters of COVID-19. Covering three decades of artwork, this book offers a challenge to the conventional definition of contemporary art and features essays by Felipe Ehrenberg, Patrice Giasson, Aline H駑ond, Julian Kreimer, Caroline Perr馥, and Pablo Piccato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrice Giasson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777438448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777438443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Patrice Giasson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945557295359,"sku":"9783777438443","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c4102c23-bf99-46e4-bb96-b23cca8fc07c.jpg?v=1681508834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nicol-s-de-jess-patrice-giasson-9783777438443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
