{"product_id":"impossible-nature-the-world-of-giuseppe-arcimboldo","title":"Impossible Nature: The World of Giuseppe Arcimboldo","description":"\u003cp\u003eArcimboldo’s composite heads can seem like clever visual jokes until their courtly setting comes into focus. Jessica Keating reconsiders the painter’s fantastic inventions as images bound up with nature, imperial authority and the ways power presents itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than treating the familiar faces simply as curiosities, this study asks what their assembled forms made possible. Close readings explore the dependence of art and sovereignty on the natural world, and the tensions that could lie beneath an entertaining surface. With 75 illustrations, including 60 in colour, the book offers a sustained account of an artist whose pictures hover between abundance and unease. It is a strong choice for readers interested in the historical roots of the uncanny and in art that transforms recognisable things into something disconcertingly alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ editor: Jessica Keating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Reaktion Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781836392606\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied to order, subject to availability.
