{"product_id":"9783775763226","title":"Isabella Ducrot","description":"This book is the first comprehensive monograph on Italian artist Isabella Ducrot. Ducrot uses textiles and paper, collected on her travels throughout Asia, as her artistic medium. The material itself—with all its imperfections and specific qualities—thus becomes an integral part of the image. Floral still lifes, landscapes, lovers, and garments form Ducrot's thematic vocabulary: simple yet all-encompassing.\n\nThe volume brings together more than 250 works spanning four decades of her career and includes new scholarly essays by Adam D. Weinberg, Eva Fabbris \u0026 Marta Federici, T’ai Smith, Angela Tecce, Ginevra de Blasio, and Jhumpa Lahiri. In addition, the book contains a selection of Isabella Ducrot’s own texts, as well as an illustrated chronology of the artist’s life and work.\n\nIsabella Ducrot was born in Naples in 1931. Her oeuvre is deeply rooted in her interest in textiles, which play a central role in both her visual works and her writings. Using a variety of media—including pencil, pastel, ink, and watercolor—her works condense a multitude of cultural references, ranging from philosophy and folklore to the art of weaving.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54448474161416,"sku":"9783775763226","price":45.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775763226.jpg?v=1774168053","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775763226","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
