{"product_id":"51022-von-buechern-in-bildern","title":"Von Büchern in Bildern","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtists, both historical and contemporary, have been captivated by books. From Rembrandt\u0026rsquo;s mother studying the Bible, to Edvard Munch asleep next to a brothel madam reading a book after a bacchanal, to Picasso, who was never seen holding a book, this charming little volume offers up a fascinating spectrum of paintings from all epochs and genres. They all have one thing in common: whether conspicuously in the middle, or hidden on the edge, each of these paintings features one or more books. A book in a painting is not only a bridge between literature and the visual arts, it also elucidates content, references, and relationships in the paintings, shedding light on their background and providing insight into the painter\u0026rsquo;s attitude. In this way, books and paintings have carried on an entertaining dialogue between text and image throughout the history of culture. \u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJamie Camplin studied art history at Cambridge and for many years was the program director for Thames \u0026amp; Hudson publishers. Maria Renauro is a photo editor for the same publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755226472712,"sku":"9783775745956","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775745956_03d8f358-ed19-41ac-9333-7c0379c5958b.jpg?v=1744145524","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/51022-von-buechern-in-bildern","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
