Yet instead of the meal awaiting an unseen viewer's consumption, as in a classic still life, Laura Letinsky photographs what remains on the table after the food has been eaten, leaving only crumbs, melon rinds, a cantaloupe pocked with rot and a half-finished lollipop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLetinsky explores the inextricable relationship between ripeness and decay, delicacy and clumsiness, waste and plenitude, pleasure and sustenance. The influence of Dutch-Flemish and Italian still-life paintings—whose exacting beauty documented shifting social attitudes resulting from exploration, colonization, economics, and ideas about seeing as a kind of truth—can be seen here as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAfter All\u003c\/i\u003e, Letinsky explores photography's transformative quality, changing what is typically overlooked into something splendid in its resilience. Poet Mark Strand contributes an essay to this marvellous volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462577930476,"sku":"9788862081320","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788862081320-after-all.jpg?v=1775016642","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/after-all-by-laura-l-letinsky-9788862081320","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
