{"product_id":"artist-the-portfolio-edition-tp","title":"ARTIST THE PORTFOLIO EDITION TP (MR) (18 Nov Release)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBreakdown Press are excited to bring Anna Haifisch’s The Artist back to print in a new omnibus edition¸ collecting both the original 2016 graphic novel and it’s 2019 follow-up¸ The Circle of Life¸ along with additional strips including the brand new Bird Opera. Now readers can experience the whole story in one hilarious and heart-wrenching volume¸ exposing the absurdity of the fine art world as experienced by a young artist. Anna Haifisch’s idiosyncratic¸ episodic comic chronicles the formative years of a young artist¸ satirising the exclusive¸ ephemeral and absurd world of fine art with all of its arcane protocols and quirks. Plagued by doubts and anxiety¸ the artist confronts constant setbacks and tantalizingly occasional glimpses of success. Based on Haifisch’s own experiences as an illustrator in both Germany and the USA¸ The Artist is a sharp and self-deprecating comedy that will resonate with anyone who has ever tried to make art. In The Artist¸ Haifisch has exposed the very nerves of what it means to be an artist in a world of ever shifting rules and complications¸ to hilarious and insightful ends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLOATING WORLD COMICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41606525321274,"sku":"0926FW0864","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/6609\/9002\/files\/0926FW0864.jpg?v=1787357702","url":"https:\/\/comicbookeroo.com\/products\/artist-the-portfolio-edition-tp","provider":"Comicbookeroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
