{"product_id":"blotkamp-carel-the-end-9781789141313","title":"The End","description":"When is a work of art finished? Can it be complete in a mental sense? And who decides? In this highly original and wide-ranging study, Carel Blotkamp explores the concept and manifestations of 'the end' in art. From the idea of a mortal end to the notion of completeness, Blotkamp describes a fascinating array of historical facts and myths as well as novels on art and artists. He examines the value of the last works of artists, considering how a particular end came about and how that might affect our perception of the work; the difference in the styles of artists in old age; unfinished last works and those completed by another's hand; and the mythology inherent in the reception of last works, taking the last works of Raphael and Mondrian as prime examples. For students, artists and art enthusiasts looking for a new perspective on modern art, 'The End' is the perfect place to start. First published in Dutch in 1996 (ISBN 9789090100586, Stichting Vrienden van het Kunsthistorisch Instituut Utrecht).","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53915577811286,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781789141313_1.jpg?v=1779207876","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/blotkamp-carel-the-end-9781789141313","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
