Her sculptures, installations, and drawings endeavour to find the meaning of humanity, physicality, suffering, and vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConceived in the loneliness and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book explores De Bruyckere’s recent, never-before-seen work inspired by the figure of the angel as portrayed in myths, stories, literature, and art history. According to De Bruyckere, an angel—with its warm, dark wings—provides protection, a refuge from fear. The angel guards against a lonely existence and, even more importantly, against a lonely death. It symbolises the fragile line De Bruyckere treads between artistic poeticism and engagement with current affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume will serve as an essential resource on an artist whose works constitute a provocative and influential addition to the contemporary art canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47558905725164,"sku":"9780300257724","price":107.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300257724-berlinde-de-bruyckere-angel-s-throat.jpg?v=1776920339"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stijn-huijts.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
