{"product_id":"marcia-marcus-9781917273329","title":"Marcia Marcus","description":"Headstrong and wry, Marcia Marcus (1928–2025) was a fiercely original artist whose work challenges typical understanding of post-war American art. Rejecting mainstream abstraction, Marcus spent five decades painting what compelled her: languorous male nudes, parenthood, great style—subjects her peers rarely explored—all rendered in her distinctive cool and poised hand. Undaunted by New York’s male-dominated art world, she was a vivid presence in downtown Manhattan and Provincetown, pioneering as one of the first women to stage a Happening. Through decades of self-portraiture, she boldly affirmed her own creative voice and upended narrow expectations of gender with wit and defiance.   This volume illuminates Marcus’s multifaceted significance: innovative artist of post-war New York, creator of radically assertive self-portraiture, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today.","brand":"D Giles Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52012270190880,"sku":"9781917273329","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/marcia-marcus-9781917273329","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
