{"product_id":"9783777438313","title":"Kiefer, Rembrandt, Kiefer","description":"\u003cp\u003eRembrandt’s legendary portrayal of Dutch militiamen, \u003ci\u003eNight Watch\u003c\/i\u003e is among the most recognized paintings in the world. Completed during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, \u003ci\u003eNight Watch\u003c\/i\u003e has inspired numerous dramatic, choreographic, and musical works—among them the second movement of Mahler’s Seventh Symphony. It is now prominently displayed in its own gallery at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it also recently served as the inspiration behind a spectacular new exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCommissioned by the Rijksmuseum to create a work in response to \u003ci\u003eNight Watch,\u003c\/i\u003e German artist and leading figure in the New Realism movement Anselm Kiefer produced \u003ci\u003eLa Berceuse (for Van Gogh), \u003c\/i\u003ea colossal glass and steel installation. Kiefer’s oversize three-dimensional triptych reinterprets Rembrandt’s work using references to Van Gogh, who was known to be an admirer of Rembrandt, including sunflowers in a bed of cracked earth and a dilapidated wooden chair. As with Kiefer’s larger body of work,\u003ci\u003e La Berceuse \u003c\/i\u003ehas proven highly controversial, posing new understandings of contemporary strategies of artistic development and influence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDesigned by graphic artist Irma Boom and created to accompany the immensely popular exhibition, \u003ci\u003eKiefer, Rembrandt, Kiefer\u003c\/i\u003e consists of twenty-four gorgeous full-color illustrations documenting this innovative juxtaposition of two masters of Renaissance and contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020776358128,"sku":"9783777438313","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783777438313_p0.jpg?v=1763683863","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783777438313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
