{"product_id":"aesops-fables-9780295976419","title":"Aesop's Fables","description":"\u003cp\u003eAesops Fables combines 23 timeless morality tales with striking black ink drawings by the revered artist Jacob Lawrence. Published originally in 1970  the book has been out of print for two decades. This new edition  completely redesigned and typeset  adds five illustrations Lawrence prepared for the original edition but which were not included in it.  Aesops fables are often ungentle tales with profound and instructive morals. Lawrences bold and expressive pen-and-ink illustrations reflect both the charm and the severity of the fables themselves. The wisdom and depth of this collection will reach all who read it  from child to adult.  Born in 1917  Jacob Lawrence is one of the most celebrated artists alive today. His awards include his 1983 election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters  a National Arts Award in 1992  and his confirmation as Commissioner of the National Council of the Arts in 1978 by the U.S. Senate. He is professor emeritus of art at the University of Washington  and has also taught at the Pratt Institute  Brandeis University  and Black Mountain College. His paintings have been widely exhibited since his first major solo exhibit in 1944 at the Museum of Modern Art  New York  and his work graces museum and private collections throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280453427253,"sku":"ByrdShop_0295976411","price":32.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780295976419.jpg?v=1780636946","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/aesops-fables-9780295976419","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
