Antonin Artaud: Drawings and Portraitsby: Thevenin, Paule / Derrida, Jacques

Antonin Artaud: Drawings and Portraits
by: Thevenin, Paule / Derrida, Jacques

Hardcover. Cambridge MA, MIT Press, 1st, 2019, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, 256 pages. Philosophical and biographical accounts of Antonin Artaud's late visual work, all reproduced in color. Antonin Artaud (1896-1948)-stage and film actor, director, writer, and visual artist-was a man of rage and genius. Expelled from the Surrealist movement for his refusal to renounce the theater, he founded the Theater of Cruelty and wrote The Theater and Its Double, one of the key twentieth-century texts on the topic. Artaud spent nine years at the end of his life in asylums, undergoing electroshock treatments. Released to the care of his friends in 1946, he began to draw again. This book presents drawings and portraits from this late resurgence, all in color. Accompanying the images are texts by by Artaud's longtime friend and editor Paule Thevenin and the philosopher Jacques Derrida. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Explosive Acts: Toulouse Lautrec Oscar Wilde Felix Feneon and the Art & Anarchy of the Fin De Siecle by: Sweetman, David

Explosive Acts: Toulouse Lautrec Oscar Wilde Felix Feneon and the Art & Anarchy of the Fin De Siecle
by: Sweetman, David

Hardcover. NY, Simon & Schuster, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 512 pages. B&w illustrations. With this handsome book, David Sweetman, a biographer of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, brings together the dissolute lives of various artists who came to represent decadent fin-de-siecle Paris: Oscar Wilde, Felix Feneon, Alfred Jarry, and, of course, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. As the author reminds us, imitations of the latter's work adorn the walls of French-themed bars worldwide and have become a shorthand for sanitized debauchery. Toulouse-Lautrec--absinthe drinker and brothel frequenter--was instrumental in the development of the poster, but what is his artistic legacy? Although Toulouse-Lautrec dominates the book's subtitle, Sweetman's sweep is much grander. In much the same way as his main subject was, Sweetman proves a sympathetic host to the women of Montmartre, tragic figures such as La Goulue, Jane Avril, and Suzanne Valadon, and he is particularly insightful on the singer Aristide Bruant's influence on the fledgling artist. Clean copy.

This is the first publication of the complete body of noted Polish Author and artist Schulz's known artwork. A great engraver-draftsman, Schulz earned his living as a menial art teacher.
