{"product_id":"david-hilliard-9781931788588","title":"David Hilliard","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Hilliards vibrant color photographs  usually triptychs or larger compositions  present elaborate narratives exploring a range of themes and situations  from the awkwardness of adolescence to masculinity disarmed. Formally  these staged photographs share the style of contemporary photographers like Gregory Crewdson and Anna Gaskell  among others. Yet Hilliard draws less from the realm of the fantastic and instead looks to his immediate surroundings to draw inspiration  as he deftly fuses autobiography with fiction to engage a host of complex ideas. This lush monograph is the first major publication of Hilliards work. Included are works from the artists ongoing series of his father that demonstrate Hilliards ability to tangle fact with fiction as the resulting images  underscored by the artists wry outlook on the world  convey a distinct poignancy. Other works engage issues of intimacy  homoeroticism and identity. The resulting scenes are as often elegiac as they are comical  always orchestrated with precision  and with a marriage of form and content that work together to immerse the viewer in the visual narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67960474075189,"sku":"ByrdShop_1931788588","price":80.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931788588.jpg?v=1794494595","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/david-hilliard-9781931788588","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
