{"product_id":"9781911282709","title":"Constable's White Horse (Frick Diptych, 5) by Aimee Ng","description":"Designed to foster critical engagement and interest the specialist and non-specialist alike, each book in the Frick Diptych series illuminates a single work in the Frick's rich collection with an essay by a Frick curator paired with a contribution from a contemporary artist or writer.   The White Horse (1819) by John Constable (1776?1837) is the first of the series of the \"six-footers,\" monumental landscapes of the English countryside that would become the artist's most famous works. Constable described the scene as \"a placid representation of a serene, grey morning, summer.\" Years later, he said, \"there are generally in the life of an artist perhaps one, two or three pictures, on which hang more than usual interest - this is mine\".   An essay by Aimee Ng, Frick Curator, paired with a contribution by artist William Kentridge bring to life one of Constable's most serene depictions of rural life, the artist's personal favorite.
