{"product_id":"leon-kossoff-9781854371812","title":"LEON KOSSOFF","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeon Kossoff is one of the most important British artists of the post-war period. Among the main preoccupations of his art has been the changing face of Londons urban landscape: his earliest subjects documented Londons passage from wartime destruction to regeneration. The range of Kossoffs subjects has since extended to swimming pools  railways and street scenes in paintings which evoke everyday urban existence. Kossoffs other main concern has been the human figure  and his portraits and studies are intense  yet also intimate  evocations of human presence. In 1996  the Tate Gallery will be mounting a retrospective exhibition of Kossoffs work  including more than 80 paintings from all phases of his career. The catalogue contains colour reproductions of all these works and also features an essay by Paul Moorhouse  the selector of the exhibition. This essay examines Kossoffs art in depth  exploring the artists fascination with particular subjects  his working methods and tracing his development from the 1950s to the present day. The essay is accompanied by archival photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648096428085,"sku":"ByrdShop_1854371819","price":248.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781854371812.jpg?v=1781709354","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/leon-kossoff-9781854371812","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
