{"product_id":"werner-bttner-andrew-renton-9781910433751","title":"Werner B?tner: Coincidence in Splendour","description":"B ttner is best known for drawing out deeper layers of meaning from daily scenes that, at first glance, may seem banal. He creates surreal assemblages that question our systems of value and contradict our understanding of what elements or images may be brought together. His work confronts social norms with both irony and satire; while retaining a firm understanding of the history of painting, B ttner is constantly testing convention. His large-scale neo-Expressionist and neo-Dadaist works address social issues with a biting and wry humour. In doing so, B ttner uses all genres of painting, including still life, self-portraiture and history painting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lavishly-produced book presents newly commissioned texts as well as key essays relating to B ttner's practice, and--taken with its sister volume dealing with his collage practice \u003ci\u003eMy Looting Eye\u003c\/i\u003e--are the first substantial books on B ttner in English for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Renton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910433756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910433751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Dog Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.80h x 10.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Andrew Renton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937416347903,"sku":"9781910433751","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4453e13a-60c8-4ebc-8b18-e970dc683b6f.jpg?v=1681429934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/werner-bttner-andrew-renton-9781910433751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
