During the late 1960s, Gilliam advanced the processes and aesthetics employed by the Color Field painters while radically disrupting the Greenbergian ideal of the contained picture plane. This robust period of output yielded his canonical Beveled-edge and Drape series, which he spent decades elaborating upon. Sam Gilliam: The Last Five Years presents a suite of works created by the late artist in the final years of his life, encompassing arresting variations on his iconic tondos, drapes and beveled-edge paintings. Replete with photographs and foldouts as well as an essay by acclaimed art historian Lowery Stokes Sims, this volume offers an all-encompassing look at Gilliam’s dynamic, vibrant compositions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49753749586193,"sku":"NGR9781948701631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056491659537,"sku":"NIN9781948701631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127066489105,"sku":"NLS9781948701631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1948701634.jpg?v=1751093946"},{"product_id":"sam-gilliam-sewing-fields-book-sam-gilliam-9781909792326","title":"Sam Gilliam: Sewing Fields","description":"Since the jihadist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, numerous non-Muslims, including many of our political leaders, have tried to tell Americans what Islam is. Unfortunately, many, if not most of these non-Muslims appeared to have relatively little knowledge about Islam. Consequently, efforts to understand Islam commonly start out by referring to it as the Religion of Peace, and the terms moderate and radical have come to dominate our conversations about Islam. For that reason, Dr. Stephen M. Kirby has written this book to allow the Koran, the Prophet Muhammad, and authoritative Islamic scholars to explain what Islam is. These sources were not worried about political correctness, and the result is a well documented, critically accurate presentation of Islam that counters many beliefs widely-held among non-Muslims. The reader will gain a new perspective on the term radical. Kirby also examines studies that have looked at some of the attitudes among Muslim-Americans; these studies raise disturbing questions for American society. Dr. Kirby is the author of Islam and Barack Hussein Obama: A Handbook on Islam. He holds a Ph.D. in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia. He is retired from over three decades in law enforcement, much of that time spent investigating white collar crimes and public corruption. Combining the investigative thoroughness of a detective with the research skills of a scholar, Kirby has written an authoritative, thought-provoking book that will change the way readers understand Islam.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52602490290449,"sku":"NIN9781909792326","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52673915486481,"sku":"NLS9781909792326","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53450554933521,"sku":"NGR9781909792326","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781909792326.jpg?v=1761151719"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sam-gilliam.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
