{"product_id":"9789995748456","title":"The Boats of Malta - The Art of the Fishermen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book sets out to record one of the major art forms of the Maltese Islands - the painted fishing boats. Each boat is a work of art. It would function just as well if it were painted an overall grey, but instead it displays a complex pattern of bright colours. Each boat has a unique pattern of colours and yet it remains unmistakably Maltese. Studying the complex variations of these colours reveals that each boat-owner is not only a practical fisherman but also an artist. So this book is a study of a local art form that adorns the coastline of Malta and that has done so for many years. It is also a record of the design and history of these boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faraxa Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49810739888368,"sku":"9789995748456","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789995748456","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
