{"product_id":"9781934298015","title":"Kent Williams: Amalgam","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his catalogue essay on Los Angeles-based figurative painter and graphic novelist Kent Williams, Edward Lucie-Smith states, \"The main thing about Williams' production, whatever form it takes, is that one feels a passionate desire to paint at work, and, in addition to that, a passionate desire to enlarge not only his own imaginative experience, but the imaginative experience of anyone who takes the trouble to give his paintings more than a glance.\" Quoting freely from influences like Rodin, Schiele, Kahlo, Fischl and Nerdrum, Williams makes dramatic, sexually terse and expressionistic paintings that are deeply riveting, dark and erotic. Female nudes, self-portraits, adolescent boys, landscapes and other nocturnal fantasies all play a role. Bringing together works from 1992 to present, this is the most comprehensive collection of paintings and drawings by Williams to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen Spiegel Fine Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058838683888,"sku":"9781934298015","price":75.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934298015_p0.jpg?v=1763642334","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934298015","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
