{"product_id":"artist-and-the-bridge-hardback","title":"Artist and the Bridge - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1999, this book explores how, from the stone bridges of neoclassicism which soar out of wild woods to span pastoral valleys to the post-1750 engineer’s bridge with its links to the more industrial landscape, the bridge was a popular feature in painting throughout the period 1700-1920. Why did so many artists choose to portray bridges? In this lavishly illustrated and intriguing book, John Sweetman seeks to answer this question. He traces the history of the bridge in painting and printmaking through a vast range of work, some as familiar as William Etty’s \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge of Sighs \u003c\/i\u003eand Claude Monet’s \u003ci\u003eThe Railway Bridge at Argenteuil\u003c\/i\u003e and others less well known such as Wassily Kandinsky’s \u003ci\u003eComposition IV\u003c\/i\u003e and C.R.W. Nevinson’s \u003ci\u003eLooking Through the Brooklyn Bridge.\u003c\/i\u003e Distinctive characteristics emerge revealing the complex role of the bridge as both symbol and metaphor, and as a place of vantage, meeting and separation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600122994926,"sku":"9781138341517","price":176.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138341517.jpg?v=1721463776","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/artist-and-the-bridge-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
