{"product_id":"look-again-in-baltimore-9780801874154","title":"Look Again in Baltimore","description":"\u003cp\u003eA marriage of photography and criticism  this elegant volume celebrates details of Baltimores fine architectural heritage and explores both familiar and unnoticed places. Photographer James DuSel and art critic John Dorsey have created a book that leads from images to thoughts  and they invite readers to follow the same path. DuSels mesmerizing black-and-white photographs focus sharply on details of larger images: the bottom of a doorway  the corner of a portico  the wall of a shoe repair shop  the substructure of a bridge. Dorsey ruminates on these images  and he draws striking connections between Baltimores visual vocabulary and the tapestry of civilization. He carries us from a window in Roland Park to the triumphal arch of Constantine in Rome  from a stairway at the Maryland Institute to the Doges Palace in Venice  from a vine at the Baltimore Museum of Art to Shakespeare. DuSel and Dorsey  through a studious appreciation of detail  encourage us to look at our built environment afresh and discover a new and more meaningful relationship with our surroundings. Shaking off what DuSel calls \"the anesthesia of daily life \" Look Again in Baltimore offers arresting insights into the richness of the everyday world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67913114288181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0801874157","price":103.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780801874154.jpg?v=1793939140","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/look-again-in-baltimore-9780801874154","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
