{"product_id":"64670-anthony-amies","title":"Anthony Amies","description":"Anthony Amies’ paintings assert a classical understanding of painting. From the mid-1970s onwards, the British artist pursued a radical counter-concept to the art of his time with his stylistically unique landscape painting. His calm and enigmatic paintings eschew any sensation. In the tradition of the British landscape painter Alexander Cozens, Amies created large-scale drawings and oil paintings that are only seemingly realistic. Rather, he abstracts the landscape into an idea. The reduction to land and sea is a reflection on England and the loss of its original landscapes to industrialization. In the context of his time, the significance of this English painter lies in his assertion of the landscape painting genre and its pictorial formulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANTHONY AMIES (1945, Norwich–2000, London) studied painting and printmaking at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1964–1970. In the early 1970s, he developed a visual language that defied the zeitgeist and was criticized by some as a revival of Pointillism, a style he pursued until his early death in 2000. In 1977, he received the Arts Council Award and taught painting and printmaking at the Camden Institute and the Camden School of Art from 1973–1995.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811895058696,"sku":"9783775754705","price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775754705_4953fcf1-59c3-4923-85ca-55a368ec7772.jpg?v=1745309329","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/64670-anthony-amies","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
