{"product_id":"9783869307770","title":"Particulars","description":"Following a series of portraits of his compatriots made at the beginning of the 1970s, photographer David Goldblatt, for a very short and intense period of time, naturally turned to focusing on peoples' particulars and individual body languages \"as affirmations or embodiments of their selves.\" Goldblatt's affinity was no accident: Working at his father's men's outfitting store in the 1950s, his awareness of posture, gesture and proportion-technical as it was-formed early and would accompany him throughout his life. In this series we see hands resting on laps, crossed legs, the curved backs of sleepers on a lawn at midday, their fingers and feet relaxed, pausing from their usual occupations. This deeply contemplative work is framed by Ingrid de Kok's poetry. The photographs in \u003ci\u003eParticulars\u003c\/i\u003e were taken beginning in 1975, and the first edition of the book was published by Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg, in 2003. Goldblatt has revised \u003ci\u003eParticulars\u003c\/i\u003e for this new Steidl edition.","brand":"D.A.P.\/Distributed Art Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042522317040,"sku":"9783869307770","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783869307770_p0.jpg?v=1769888147","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783869307770","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
