{"product_id":"a-commonplace-book","title":"A Commonplace Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Commonplace Book presents photographs by Raymond Meeks selected by John Gossage—a photographer who has been an enduring influence on Meeks, inspiring his approach and use of the camera to construct images untethered from sequence or narrative continuity. Here lies a breadth of visual style and approach, varied in form yet unified by a singular sensibility. Gossage's initial impetus for the book came from his realization that Meeks had \"made some of the most stylistically various single pictures that I had ever seen in a serious photographer's work.\" Meeks agreed to supply his photographs, from which Gossage made his edit and created a new context for viewing them one at a time. And so was born, in Gossage's words, this commonplace book \"of remarkable things, pictures that are as rich individually as they are in the narrative of Ray's books, but in a different way. They stand as convincing in a style of variation with certainty, always having the feel and thought of a single author.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52985219121434,"sku":"9783969995259","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/3793\/files\/acommonplace.jpg?v=1790942813","url":"https:\/\/villagebooks.co\/products\/a-commonplace-book","provider":"Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
