{"product_id":"mary-weatherford-the-flaying-of-marsyas","title":"Mary Weatherford: The Flaying of Marsyas","description":"This catalog documents an exhibition of paintings from 2021 22 by Mary Weatherford, a daring practitioner of American abstraction and a leading painter of her generation. The series takes its immediate inspiration from Titian s late painting, The Flaying of Marsyas (c. 1570  76), reecting the artist s enduring fascinationwith this work. Alluding to the Renaissance painter s subdued palette, while paying tribute to the distinctive light of Venice, Weatherford uses Flashe paint and neon tubing to distill the earlier canvas s aect. She responds to Titian s composition by translating the violent character of its mythological theme into a format that, while more improvisational, also alludes to fate, hubris, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Francine Prose s essay traces the history of depictions of the myth of Apollo and Marsyas in paintings, and places Weatherford s interpretation of the story in the context of contemporary life.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardback | 84 pages | Published January 1970\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli International Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63173000855901,"sku":"9780789345547","price":100.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9780789345547.jpg?v=1769066406","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/mary-weatherford-the-flaying-of-marsyas","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
