ISBN: 9780711232839.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best of Tom Lubbock, one of Britains most intelligent, outspoken and revelatory art critics, is collected here for the first time.\n\nThere are electrifying insights - using Hitchcock’s Suspicion to explore the lighting effects in a Zurbarán still life, imagining three short films to tease out the meanings of El Greco’s Boy Lighting a Candle - and cool judgements - how Vuillards genius is confined to a single decade, when he worked at home, why Ingres is really ‘an exciting wierdo’.\n\nRanging with passionate perspicacity over eight hundred years of Western art, whether its Giotto’s raging vices, Guston’s ‘slobbish, squidgy’ pinks, Gericault’s pile of truncated limbs or Gwen John’s Girl in a Blue Dress, Tom Lubbock writes with immediacy and authority about the fifty works which most gripped his imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frances Lincoln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952404918325,"sku":"ByrdShop_0711232830","price":53.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780711232839_36ac0891-35aa-4dac-a070-d194f981a6e6.jpg?v=1778784733","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/great-works-50-paintings-explored-9780711232839","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
