{"product_id":"howard-hodgkin-anglais-9781854376398","title":"Howard Hodgkin \/anglais","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in London in 1932  Howard Hodgkin is one of the foremost British painters of his generation. Painted on wood in thick swathes of colour  his paintings can often appear purely abstract. In fact  they are attempts to recapture the sensation of specific moments from the memory  and transform them into pictures that get to the-heart of being itself. Many of these paintings are based on Hodgkins friends  and  are thus technically portraits  although Hodgkin makes no attempt to portray people realistically. Although a title and a specific outcome for a picture are chosen at the outset  the process of painting is often improvisatory built up from the application of spots  blobs  arcs and thick bands of intense colour. Published to accompany a major retrospective touring exhibition curated by Tate Director Sir Nicholas Serota  the book will be the most thorough survey of Hodgkins career to date  giving new insights into the artists motivations and technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651939295285,"sku":"ByrdShop_185437639X","price":155.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781854376398.jpg?v=1781846356","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/howard-hodgkin-anglais-9781854376398","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
