{"product_id":"watercolors-by-hans-j-wegner","title":"Watercolors by Hans J. Wegner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world-famous Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is best known for creating hundreds of chairs and other furniture designs, but he also left behind a range of watercolours and drawings. The subjects are mainly furniture and interiors, supplemented by images of applied art objects, woodwork and wallpaper patterns, as well as a number of studies of nature, landscapes and people. This book focuses on those watercolours, thereby taking a fresh look at Wegner’s world: in addition to being a designer with a great love of the practicalities of joinery, he also possessed a more playful, artistic vein, a great urge to express himself and a fine sense of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book considers Wegner’s artistic endeavours in the context of the period and his personal history, presenting almost a hundred watercolours arranged by subject matter. It concludes by outlining Wegner’s life and work in a richly illustrated biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author, Anne Blond (b. 1976), is an art and design historian with a particular interest in Hans J. Wegner. She is director of Foreningen Museum Wegner, an association responsible for establishing a museum dedicated to Wegner’s furniture in Tønder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 192\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 241 × 273 mm\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2024\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Strandberg Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strandberg Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40942791917653,"sku":"SPWB1347","price":68.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/files\/1_5d73369a-6bef-4a9a-87b2-8704b62853f6.jpg?v=1734086986","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.com\/en\/products\/watercolors-by-hans-j-wegner","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
