About This Item
Cambridge, MA: MIT Press; An October Book, 2010. xvii, 476 pages, illustrations 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps. "This volume presents a study of the French artist and writer Francis Picabia (1879-1953). The author focuses on Picabia's work in Paris during the Dada years. He describes a series of nearly forgotten objects and events, from the almost lunatic range of the Paris Dada "manifestations" to Picabia's polemical writings ; from a lost work by Picabia in the form of a hole (called, suggestively, The Young Girl) to his 'painting' Cacodylic Eye, covered in autographs by luminaries ranging from Ezra Pound to Fatty Arbuckle. Baker ends with readymades in prose: a vast interweaving of citations and quotations that converge to create a heated conversation among Picabia, Andr Breton, Tristan Tzara, James Joyce, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and others." - Publisher.. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo.
