{"product_id":"9781452121369","title":"Ascending Chaos: The Art of Masami Teraoka 1966-2006","description":"\u003cem\u003eAscending Chaos\u003c\/em\u003e is the first major retrospective of Japanese-American artist Masami Teraoka's prolific and acclaimed work thus far. In Teraoka's paintings—which have evolved from his wry mimicry of Japanese woodblock prints to much larger and complex canvasses reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghel—the political and the personal collide in a riot of sexually frank tableaux. Populated by geishas and goddesses, priests, and politicians, and prominent contemporary figures, these paintings are the spectacular next phase of a wildly inventive career. With essays by renowned art critics who discuss how Teraoka's work inventively marries east and west, sex and religion, \u003cem\u003eAscending Chaos\u003c\/em\u003e is a critical overview of this cultural trickster.","brand":"Chronicle Books LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128663785712,"sku":"9781452121369","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452121369_p0.jpg?v=1763844105","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452121369","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
