{"product_id":"michelangelo-drawing-and-the-invention-of-architecture-9780300124897","title":"Michelangelo  Drawing  and the Invention of Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this engaging and handsome book  Cammy Brothers takes an unusual approach to Michelangelos architectural designs  arguing that they are best understood in terms of his experience as a painter and sculptor. Unlike previous studies  which have focused on the built projects and considered the drawings only insofar as they illuminate those buildings  this book analyses his designs as an independent source of insight into the mechanisms of Michelangelos imagination. Brothers gives equal weight to the unbuilt designs  and suggests that some of Michelangelos most radical ideas remained on paper. Brothers explores the idea of drawing as a mode of thinking  using its evidence to reconstruct the process by which Michelangelo arrived at new ideas. By turning the flexibility and fluidity of his figurative drawing methods to the subject of architecture  Michelangelo demonstrated how it could match the expressive possibilities of painting and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652840316981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300124899","price":1049.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300124897.jpg?v=1781852952","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/michelangelo-drawing-and-the-invention-of-architecture-9780300124897","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
