{"product_id":"9781928429005","title":"Jean Doyle","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Jean Doyle's work is renowned all over the world and her veneration of the fuller female figure has become a trademark of her work as well as a tool for social commentary' - Zanele Mbeki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean Doyle, A Portrait is a glorious tribute to one of South Africa's quietest artists. This part-biography, part critique explores how Jean has formed, shaped, forged and polished her career. Frequently told through her private sculpture notes, it goes beneath the layers of bronze and clay to the inspirational heart of her work, tracing her artistic journey. It celebrates the freshness, simplicity, intelligence, unmistakable sense of humour and, strikingly, the modest humility with which Jean Doyle has emerged as one of the greatest story-telling South African artists of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first-ever anthology of Jean Doyle's life and work, this is a rich and vivid exploration of this eminent South African artist's achievements. It is deeply personal and reveals never-before-seen sculpture notes. This book is a visual feast of Doyle's works, including useful thumbnail references in a practical, chronological appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Jean+Doyle\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJean Doyle\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376680714403,"sku":"9781928429005","price":455.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781928429005_3c873cd7-7ae8-4e39-beb7-e05f33e27b56.jpg?v=1776617039","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781928429005","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
