{"product_id":"jamali","title":"Jamali By Jamali","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn epic coming-to-America success story, this is the autobiography of Pakistani-born American artist Jamali who originated Mystical Expressionism and whose mission is to bring peace to the world through art.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this heavily illustrated memoir the reader is treated to an epic saga covering seven decades and three continents about an artist''s dream for a more peaceful world. The eldest son of a prominent family living in the foothills of the Himalayas, Jamali experienced the horrors of war through the Indian Partition, which led him to pursue a life of peace through art on a prolific scale producing more than 40,000 original works to date. The complex surfaces and mystical imagery found in Jamali''s paintings have been compared to the neo-expressionists Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz. His gestural techniques link him to Jackson Pollock and the New York School. But the pre-eminent art critic Donald Kuspit observed that Jamali''s singular method required its own name--Mystical Expressionism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne hundred artworks individually selected by the artist accompany the engaging text in a separate section beautifully printed on a specially coated paper. Inspired by people such as Gandhi who advocated change through non-violent measures, Jamali hopes to change our lives by sharing his story of art and peace. ","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57590957769086,"sku":"NW9780847866199","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780847866199.jpg?v=1783176525","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/jamali","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
