{"product_id":"9788836657353","title":"Nathaniel Mary Quinn: Split Face","description":"Challenging the canon of beauty that dominated portraiture until the 19th century, the paintings of American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn (born 1977) follow the path opened by 20th-century giants such as Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon, freely interpreting the human figure, composition and balance of forms through a nonacademic pictorial language. Often fractured and disquieting, Quinn’s portraiture embraces the flawed dimensions of human character, extending a generosity to aesthetic qualities traditionally deemed deviant. Split Face presents a selection of Quinn’s portraits alongside works by Renaissance and 20th-century masters of portraiture such as Donatello, Pollaiuolo, the Della Robbia family, Virgilio Guidi, Marino Marini, Antonietta Raphaël Mafai and many others. In doing so, the volume posits Quinn as a part of a long lineage of figurative trailblazers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9788836657353.
