{"product_id":"ovartaci-brian-benjamin-hansen-9788775970872","title":"Ovartaci: The Signature of Madness","description":"Hospitalized following a mental health crisis in 1929, Louis Marcussen (1894--1985) begins a spectacular journey. He fills his room at the psychiatric institution with artworks, with tall and eloquent cut-out female figures, and he seems to invest himself deeply in his work and visions. He dissolves into a swirl of male, female, animal and divine identities. He discards the name 'Louis' and takes the name 'Ovartaci'. The present book reads Ovartaci's work through psychoanalytical notions of madness and psychosis. It is the first major monograph on an artist that through highly original artistic practices invented a new way of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Benjamin Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8775970872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788775970872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aarhus University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 8.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Brian Benjamin Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48175505244415,"sku":"9788775970872","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0da7c16e-6048-48c2-b9d9-12cfe2a6a36d.jpg?v=1771334132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ovartaci-brian-benjamin-hansen-9788775970872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
