{"product_id":"the-history-of-art","title":"The History of Art","description":"An artist’s fascinating history of art, beautifully  illustrated and handwritten, in which his own eclectic personal  experience is combined into a narrative that is both artistic and  educational.\u003cbr\u003e A work of art in itself, this  extraordinary book is the first account of the history of art that has  been both written and illustrated from an artist’s point of view.  Originally published as a series in \u003ci\u003eFlash Art \u003c\/i\u003emagazine,  Jori presents art in a way that is both personal and engaging.  Beginning with the birth of art itself, the reader experiences art  through the early Egyptians and great civilizations of the past to the  “high” art of ancient Greece, the trio of Renaissance masters (Leonardo,  Raphael, Michelangelo), and then to Caravaggio, up to the grand era of  nineteenth-century French painting, the groundbreaking works of van  Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne, and the abstract and deconstructed imagery  of Pablo Picasso, which has remained a leitmotif in art. The narrative  reaches up to the present day and age, closing with Christo’s recent  platform stretched over the waters of Lake Iseo in Italy.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51229797318944,"sku":"9780847860807","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780847860807.jpg?v=1770846849","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/the-history-of-art","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
