{"product_id":"9789068321876","title":"Charles Sayers: Pioneer of Art in the Dutch Indies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe painters active in the first half of the 20th century in the Dutch Indies were a motley crew. The only thing they had in common was that they had all been attracted by the myth of the island-paradise. As was to be expected, the output of this heterogeneous group of professionals, amateurs and \"tourists\" proved variable. However, some in this group stood out: Roland Strasser, Isaac Israels, Max Fleisher, Walter Spies, and Charles Sayers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe works of these painters managed to break with the conservatism that was common in the arts of the Dutch Indies at that time. A good example of this is the work of Charles Sayers (1901-1943). His work evolved from an initially realist manner to a moderate form of expressionism. The viewpoint underlying certain of his works suggests a photographic eye. The subjects are often dramatic, emotional and dynamic, all conveyed through a very bright palette. The works of Charles Sayers today are very collectable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book documents Charles Sayers’ life and shows the broad scope of his work — murals, drawings, oils — and subjects varying from still life to portraits to landscapes and rituals. Included is a list of all known works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KIT (Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49788727492848,"sku":"9789068321876","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789068321876","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
