{"product_id":"drawn-testimony","title":"Rosenberg Jane: Drawn Testimony [2024] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe trials of criminals who disgust and fascinate the world in   equal measure continue to be depicted primarily not at the push of a button   but the point of a pencil or the worn-down end of a pastel stub. It is the odd,   bickering club of court artists - summoned at the last minute, jostling for   position, scrambling to make permanent an event or expression that has   already fled the scene - that is still charged with providing the pictures   the world hungers to see, and depicting the faces it demands to know.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane   Rosenberg has been a courtroom artist in New York for over 40 years. In her   time on her benches, her pastels have captured some of the most notorious   faces spanning multiple criminal eras: the Mafia crackdown of the 1980s and   1990s, the fallen titans of Wall Street's 'greed is good' decade, the sex   abusers brought to account by the #MeToo movement, the police brutality   spotlighted by Black Lives Matter, and the relentless infighting of   Trumpworld.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut whilst the   cases and the many recognisable names might suggest this to be a true crime   goldmine, this, it is not. Instead Jane offers the reader something entirely   new - rather than focusing on the facts and minutiae of a case as it unfolds,   we are instead given a moving and discerning view of a courtroom and its   cast, focusing on emotion above procedure; rather than analysis of evidence,   we are presented with the barely perceptible shifts in a defendant's body   language, the absence or abundance of feeling in their expression. The result   is remarkable and sheds a light on the fascinating career which, arguably   against the odds, has managed to stand the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenberg, Jane","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48984313135443,"sku":"9781786584373","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/rosenberg-jane-rosenberg-jane-drawn-testimony-2024-paperback-9781786584373-57205539733843.jpg?v=1726701618","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/drawn-testimony","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
