{"product_id":"mamma-andersson-the-lost-paradise-by-mamma-andersson-9781644230565","title":"Mamma Andersson: The Lost Paradise","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndersson's works embody a new genre of landscape painting that recalls late nineteenth-century romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological compositions. Her panoramic scenes draw inspiration from a wide range of archival photographic source materials, filmic imagery, theatre sets, and period interiors, as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden, where she grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paintings utilise a selection of motifs from throughout her career: barren branches and thick-barked pine trees, domestic interiors, horses, and young women. Resembling still lifes, they further a tradition of quiet, dreamlike domestic scenes by Scandinavian artists such as Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944). Part of a self-conscious effort to capture an experience rather than a specific event, the compositions are freer and more abstract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSplendid colour reproductions bring the textured brushstrokes, loose washes, and stark graphic lines to life on the page. The book also features a new essay by critically acclaimed author Karl Ove Knausgaard. \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Paradise\u003c\/em\u003e is published on the occasion of an eponymous exhibition presented at David Zwirner, New York, in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463528988908,"sku":"9781644230565","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781644230565-mamma-andersson-the-lost-paradise.jpg?v=1775034222","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mamma-andersson-the-lost-paradise-by-mamma-andersson-9781644230565","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
