Hogarth’s belief that\n this line epitomises not only movement, but movement at its most beautiful,\n creates conditions of possibility whereby the construct can be elevated from\n traditional analyses and consequently utilised to examine movement in artworks\n from both literal and metaphorical perspectives. Propagandist promotion of an alternate reality as a challenge\n to a current ‘real’ lends itself to\n these dual viewpoints; the early years of the twentieth century saw\n growth in the advertising of conflict via the pictorial poster, instigating\n intentionally or otherwise an aesthetic response from soldier-artists\n embroiled on the battlefields. The ‘line of beauty’therefore serves as a\n productive mechanism by which this era of propaganda art can be appraised.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137571939\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-57194-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752493052044,"sku":"9781137571939","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137571939.jpg?v=1776697275","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137571939","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
