{"product_id":"9781625570673","title":"Pentimento","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom an Italian word meaning \" to repent,\" a pentimento is an instance in painting when traces of an artist' s earlier decisions or mistakes are visible through the final layer(s) of paint. Using modes of confession, ekphrasis, and biblical persona, Pentimento excavates a queerness entangled in one' s faith tradition. Whether seeking to understand his relationship to god, friends, or family, Garcia interrogates questions that arise on the path to self-acceptance. In \" Self-Portrait as a Virgin,\" a biblical persona asks, \" How else are we to take words whole \/ in our mouths, except as they are given?\" Concerned with naming, desire, love, and belonging, Pentimento is a response to a kind of annunciation, the almost supernatural calling of the artist to find words through which the self is free to move.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381930971215,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":628.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781625570673","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
