{"product_id":"books-jack-pierson-the-hungry-years-by-jack-pierson","title":"Jack Pierson: The Hungry Years","description":"The Hungry Years  collects the early photographs taken by Pierson throughout the  1980s, which, since they were first editioned in 1990, have increasingly captured the  attention of the art world. Informed in part by his artistic emergence in the era of  AIDS, Pierson’s work is moored by melancholy and introspection, yet his images are  often buoyed by a celebratory aura of seduction and glamour. Sometimes infused  with a sly sense of humor, Pierson’s work is inherently autobiographical; often using  his friends as his models and referencing traditional Americana motifs, his bright  yet distanced imagery reveals the undercurrents of the uncanny in the quotidian.  Fueled by the poignancy of emotional experience and by the sensations of memory,  obsession, and absence, Pierson’s subject is ultimately, as he states, “hope.”","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671915979025,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788862085625.jpg?v=1781517728","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-jack-pierson-the-hungry-years-by-jack-pierson","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
