Essential reading for students on fine arts painting courses, the book is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the themes and issues that have pertained to painting within the context of postmodernism and contemporary artistic practice, and also provides a valuable starting point for other, more specialized histories of particular painters.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636923617438,"sku":"UBD-9781350363823","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350363823.jpg?v=1774399743","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350363823","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
