{"product_id":"duet-with-chorus","title":"Duet (with Chorus)","description":"With a foreword by Devin Johnston and studio photographs by Moira Tarmy. Through the drawings and paintings included in \u003ci\u003eDuet (with Chorus)\u003c\/i\u003e, Brian Calvin explores arrangements of figures at once boldly simplified and subtly expressive. In doing so, he works with a basic vocabulary of facial features, fingers, collar, hair, and perhaps a flower behind the ear?all stripped of excess detail. The work arose from a commission, to create an exhibit to accompany Mozart's\u003ci\u003e Così fan tutte\u003c\/i\u003e at the Metropolitan Opera. As Calvin explains his approach, \"Rather than illustrating scenes from the plot of\u003ci\u003e Così fan tutte\u003c\/i\u003e, I lingered on the organizing principle of duets in Mozart's opera, exploring harmony and dissonance through repetition and difference.\"","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47188025475282,"sku":"9780998169569","price":28.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/indigo-pre-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/duet-with-chorus","provider":"Indigo Pre-Prod","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
