{"product_id":"walter-robinson-walter-robinson-9780945558415","title":"Walter Robinson: Paintings and Other Indulgences","description":"By 1980 Walter Robinson (born 1950) had established himself as a critic for \u003ci\u003eArt in America\u003c\/i\u003e and member of the New York artists' collective Collaborative Projects. He became notable for paintings of square-jawed detective-hero types and swooning vixens based on pulp romance covers. Employing what critic Carlo McCormick termed a \"devious sense of irony done with incredible sincerity,\" he examined painting's relationship to mass-culture images of desire, mining lurid illustrations from the 1940s and 50s and rerepresenting them in a style culled from \"how to paint\" books. Robinson's subsequent paintings of beer cans and bottles, pharmaceuticals, fast-food burgers, Lands' End models and online erotic \"selfies\" continue to address our indulgence of longing and excess in a media-saturated world. \u003ci\u003eWalter Robinson: Paintings and Other Indulgences\u003c\/i\u003e is the first monograph on Robinson, with photographs of 140 paintings spanning his 35-year career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0945558414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780945558415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Galleries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 9.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Walter Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072889516287,"sku":"9780945558415","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffc20d13-0bc4-4829-875a-b0c45b5880ec.jpg?v=1685444538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walter-robinson-walter-robinson-9780945558415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
