About this title

Synopsis:

It's approaching 2 a.m. and Emily Weinstein has stared at the full moon so long it has begun to swim. The pink and grey clouds are liquid marble with white veins, rolling across the sky. The moon seems to push against the current. Quickly, a reflection of the skyscape takes shape under Weinstein's squiggling paintbrush as she sits, small, cross-legged and bathed in moonlight, on the flat patio stones of a friend's backyard garden. This is Full Moon No. 14. And it's not behaving. It sinks into the sky like a stone in a pond and everything goes black. Weinstein's feet fall asleep. A magnolia pod crashes to the ground behind her. Suddenly, the moon pops out again. This book shows a series of full moon paintings in oil on wood. Monet had his haystacks and water lilies. Degas preferred ballerinas, Van Gogh went for sunflowers. Weinstein has the moon.

Store Description

jdp books is a small, family owned bookseller, selling pre-owned books and a small selection of fine art, to the UK and worldwide. Our aim is to unite mainly academic readers and researchers with the knowledge they seek, and we would love our books to go to those who have a real interest in the subjects we hold. We value the ethos of sustainability and encourage the re-use of pre-owned books. We specialize primarily in History, the Classics and Archaeology, but we also hold a wide range of titles across many subjects, including some rare and out of print and first editions. We hold titles in Travel and exploration, Poetry, Literature, Politics, Art, Economics and more, and we hope to send our customers very good quality books with as little signs of wear as possible (depending, of course, on the age of the book). We also hold a small but growing number of art works, which we feel might be of interest to art lovers. Our dedicated team are happy to help with all enquiries and will try to ensure you find the book or artwork you are looking for.
