{"product_id":"past-time-patricia-phagan-9781911282365","title":"Past Time: Geology in European and American Art","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a beautifully illustrated, interdisciplinary volume which explores how European and American artists of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries revealed a compelling interest in dramatic geologic phenomena--caves and natural arches, boulders and rock formations, mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, and cliffs. From a topographical, often strata-focused means to a later mode that evoked nature's great transformational powers over time, European and American artists pursued their cross-cultural travels in seeking geological wonders. The authors address the importance and history of geology, the most popular science of the 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Past Time\u003c\/i\u003e features a combination of outstanding drawings, watercolours, and brilliant oil sketches and studies, with works by Asher B Durand, Frederic Church, John Singer Sargent, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, J. M. W. Turner, Joseph Wright of Derby, and Thomas Rowlandson, amongst many others. This volume is a great addition to the currently available publications on the relationship between the growth of natural science and the interest amongst artists in capturing and presenting scientific phenomena and an ever-changing earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Phagan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911282360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911282365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Patricia Phagan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44616717861119,"sku":"9781911282365","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb62fc7a-2e27-4e25-baba-27b401bb1d7d.jpg?v=1703021912","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/past-time-patricia-phagan-9781911282365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
