{"product_id":"alex-israel-bret-easton-ellis","title":"Alex Israel Bret Easton Ellis","description":"This  provocative new book presents the collaborative paintings of Alex Israel  and Bret Easton Ellis, among today’s sharpest observers of the culture  of pleasure, their art inseparable from the world in which it finds  expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Los Angeles is both background and subject in  the respective oeuvres of Israel and Ellis. For Israel, the American  dream, as embodied by the L.A. mythos, remains affecting and potent, and  he approaches his hometown with an uncanny coupling of local  familiarity and anthropological curiosity. While Ellis, who became  famous for his portrait of an amoral, decadent L.A. of the 1980s in his  debut novel \u003ci\u003eLess Than Zero\u003c\/i\u003e, has continued to elaborate upon his jaundiced vision of a superficial youth society over the past two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now these two artists have come together to  create a lively discourse on their city. At Israel’s provocation, Ellis  has written short texts that Israel then converted into various fonts  and combined with commercial stock images. These striking images are  displayed in full color, along with double-page installation photos of  the 2016 exhibition and insightful essays and interviews.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51229720707360,"sku":"9780847861002","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780847861002.jpg?v=1770845125","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/alex-israel-bret-easton-ellis","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
