{"product_id":"9781960145949","title":"This Elegance","description":"\u003cp\u003eInterweaving the sacred and the erotic, This Elegance engages with visual arts through the concept of sacra conversazione (\"sacred conversation\"), a style of Renaissance painting that imagines divine communion across time and space. Here, artists, thinkers, and pop icons commune in a similar sacred dialogue-Kathleen Collins, Andr� Leon Talley, Richmond Barth�, Lyle Ashton Harris, Juan de Pareja, Janelle Mon�e, Symone, and others appear as guiding spirits and creative kin.   For a Black, queer person so often dislocated from time and place, pleasure becomes an act of resistance-a grounding in the now. This Elegance is a love song-an offering to Black artistry, a tribute to visionary lives, and a testament to the power of beauty in even our most precarious moments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59925733376334,"sku":"9781960145949","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781960145949.jpg?v=1781873623","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781960145949","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
