Description

University of California Press, Berkeley: 2003. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new copy. From the cut-up Cubist collages of Picasso to the monumental filmic narratives of Fiona Banner, and from the schoolboy subversion of Magritte to the demotic scrawl of Cy Twombly, the use of words is one of the defining features of modern art. Simon Morley traces the growing bond between word and iage, explaining how artists have harnessed the resulting tension to form identities, challenge authority, and make sense of a world in constant change. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0520241088.
