{"product_id":"9788862081320","title":"Laura Letinsky: After All","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe setup is classic and familiar: a table draped with a white cloth, a dish of fruit, a sugar bowl. Yet instead of the meal awaiting an unseen viewer's consumption, as in a classic still life, Laura Letinsky photographs what remains on the table after the food has been eaten, leaving only crumbs, melon rinds, a cantaloupe pocked with rot and a half-finished lollipop. Letinsky explores the inextricable relationship between ripeness and decay, delicacy and clumsiness, waste and plenitude, pleasure and sustenance. The influence of Dutch-Flemish and Italian still-life paintings—whose exacting beauty documented shifting social attitudes resulting from exploration, colonization, economics and ideas about seeing as a kind of truth—can be seen here as well. In \u003ci\u003eAfter All\u003c\/i\u003e, Letinsky explores photography's transformative quality, changing what is typically overlooked into something splendid in its resilience. Poet Mark Strand contributes an essay to this marvelous volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damiani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063778427120,"sku":"9788862081320","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788862081320_p0.jpg?v=1763769260","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788862081320","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
