The book is also a formally rigorous examination of the taxonomy and syntax of family portraiture.\u003cbr\u003eBlas' contemporary works are integrated with selections from her historical family albums in order to tell an extended intergenerational story, and to bring forward the evolving and recurring nature of the portrait photograph throughout the medium's history. Deploying doubling, repetition and more subtle echoing and mirroring, \u003ci\u003eLove, You Came from Greatness\u003c\/i\u003e builds a powerful line of feeling and thought across generations and photographic tropes and styles. It features an illustrated discussion among Blas, curator Kate Addleman-Frankel and Cornell art historian Cheryl Finley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 11.57 x 9.84 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51773075587360,"sku":"9781733497145","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b5d8c0b10a67cad30d7231edf4e3c26a.webp?v=1780419030","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/nydia-blas-love-you-came-from-greatness-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
