The book offers provocative new insights about Brunias's work gleaned from a broad survey of his paintings, many of which are reproduced here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920552738974,"sku":"ING-9781526174581","price":68.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526174581.jpg?v=1782823669","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526174581","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
