Art on the Page
Art on the page Toward a modern illustrated book When Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard issued his first publication, Parallèlement, in 1900, a collection of poems by Paul Verlaine illustrated with lithographs by Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, he ushered in a new form of illustrated book to mark the new century. In the following decades, he and other entrepreneurial art publishers such as Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Albert Skira would take advantage of a widening pool of book collectors interested in modern art by producing deluxe books that featured original prints by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, André Derain and others. These books are generally referred to as livres des artistes and, unlike the fine press publications produced by the Kelmscott Press, the Doves Press or Ashendene Press, the earliest examples were distinguished by their modernity. Breon Mitchell, in his introduction to Beyond illustration, argues that the livre d’artiste can be differentiated from the traditional book in several respects: The illustrations are, in each case, original works of art (woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, engravings) executed by the artist himself and printed under his supervision. The book thus contains original graphics of the kind which find their place on museum walls … The livre d’artiste is also defined by the stature of the artist. Virtually every major painter and sculptor of the twentieth century—Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Matisse, Kokoschka, Barlach, Miró, to name a few—has collaborated in the creation of one or more such works. In many cases, book illustration has occupied such an important place in the total oeuvre of the artist that no student of art history can safely ignore it. -
Surrealist Masculinities
UC-Lyford.qxd 3/21/07 12:44 PM Page 15 CHAPTER ONE Anxiety and Perversion in Postwar Paris ans Bellmer’s photographs of distorted and deformed dolls from the early 1930s seem to be quintessential examples of surrealist misogyny (see Fig. 4). Their violently erotic Hreorganization of female body parts into awkward wholes typifies the way in which surrealist artists and writers manipulated and objectified femininity in their work. Bellmer’s manipulation and reconstruction of the female form also encourage comparison with the mutilation and reconstruction that prevailed across Europe during World War I. By viewing the dolls in this context, we might see their distorted forms as a displacement of male anxiety onto the bodies of women. Thus, Bellmer’s work—and the work of other male surrealists who de- picted fragmented female bodies—might reflect not only misogyny but also the disavowal of emasculation through symbolic transference. The fabrication of these dolls also expresses a link to consumer society. The dolls look as if they could be surrealist mannequins made by the prosthetic industry; their deformed yet interlocking parts reflect a chilling combination of mass-market eroticism and wartime bodily trauma. These connections between misogyny and emasculation anxiety, between eroticism and the horror of war trauma, and between consump- tion and desire are not specific to Bellmer’s idiosyncratic visual rhetoric, however. The practice of joining contradictory approaches and blurring boundaries between objects, identities, and media was more prevalent among the male surrealists than is usually acknowledged. If we open our eyes to consider these contrasts as part of a broader surrealist agenda, we can see how the surrealists aimed to destabilize their viewers’ assumptions about the boundaries 15 Copyrighted Material UC-Lyford.qxd 3/21/07 12:44 PM Page 16 FIGURE 4 Hans Bellmer, Poupée, 1935. -

The International Surrealist Exhibition 1936 by David Stent in Late 2016
© David Stent, 2018 Dalí / Duchamp in light of Edward James – The International Surrealist Exhibition 1936 By David Stent In late 2016, the discovery of a few sheets of paper in the Edward James Archive at West Dean College suggested a rare and important find. The previously uncatalogued pages combined sections of neatly transcribed text consistent, it would later transpire, with having been taken by dictation, with urgent brightly-coloured pencil scribbles in another hand. It soon became clear that the two texts constituted an English translation of the lecture given by Salvador Dalí at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in July 1936, together with notes for his introduction to the audience by his friend and patron Edward James. Even incomplete, the importance of the document reflects the fact that few details of Dalí’s lecture have been known since the event, with inconsistent press reports giving only partial clues as to what its subject, ‘Authentic Paranoiac Phantoms’, might have involved. It also showed the degree to which James was involved in Dalí’s introduction to the public at the first major exhibition of Surrealism in Britain. Of course, James’ association with Dalí is well known, yet it was clear that the details and significance of his role at the International Surrealist Exhibition were still coming to light. James not only introduced Dalí but translated his infamous ‘diving suit’ lecture (indicative of his close relationship with the artist at the time) – the newly-discovered transcript allowing us to hear the artist’s words, albeit at one remove. It is likely that James purchased many of the works on display at the Burlington Galleries, helping to establish what would become one of the most significant collections of Surrealist art in the world. -

Sweeping Survey Celebrates 100 Years of Dada from Marcel Duchamp to Andy Warhol to Sherrie Levine
Sweeping Survey Celebrates 100 Years of Dada from Marcel Duchamp to Andy Warhol to Sherrie Levine Opening February 23, 2017, No Place Like Home transforms Israel Museum galleries into a domestic interior with artworks inspired by everyday household objects Jerusalem (October 13, 2016)— In celebration of Dada’s 100th anniversary in 2016 and the centennial of Duchamp’s Fountain in 2017, the Israel Museum presents a major exhibition tracing the artistic appropriation of domestic objects, from the early 20th century through the present day. No Place Like Home examines how artists over the past century have incorporated commonplace household items into their work, removing them from the context of the home in ways that subvert everyday experience. Transforming its galleries into a quasi-domestic interior, the Museum will place works by artists ranging from Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, and Martha Rosler, to Louise Bourgeois, Mona Hatoum, and Ilit Azoulay back into a home setting in order to trigger new thoughts and perspectives on the familiar. The exhibition is on view from February 23, 2017 through July 29, 2017. “The emergence of Dada profoundly changed the vocabulary of creative expression and challenged tradition by elevating everyday objects into icons of 20th-century art,” said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. “As one of the leading international centers for the research and display of Dada and Surrealist art, it is a privilege for us to celebrate the wellspring of creativity that Dada provoked a century ago with a pioneering exhibition inspired by the spirit of the movement itself.” Curated by Dr. -
Marcel Duchamp's the Large Glass As Negation of Women
MARCEL DUCHAMP'S THE LARGE GLASS AS NEGATION OF WOMEN APPROVED: aj or of essor ' lJ <r rofesc6r Chairman of the Department of Art Dean of the Graduate School 3 Q ,Ya$ MARCEL DUCHAMP'S THE LARGE GLASS AS "NEGATION OF WOMEN" THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Karen M. Olvera, B.A., M.S.Ed. Denton, Texas August 1986 Olvera, Karen M., Marcel Duchamp's The Large Glass as "Negation of Women." Master of Arts (Art History), August 1986, 127 pp., 21 illustrations, bibliography, 88 titles. Marcel Duchamp stated in an interview in 1966 that his magnum opus, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) was, "above all, a negation of women." The purpose of this study was to determine whether The Large Glass was a negation of women for Duchamp. The thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter I is the introduction to the thesis. Chapter II includes a synopsis of the major interpretations of The Large Glass. Duchamp's statements in regard to The Large Glass are also included in Chapter II. Chapter III explains how The Large Glass works through the use of Duchamp's notes. Chapter IV investigates Duchamp's negation of women statement in several ways. His personal relationships with relatives including his wives and other women, and his early paintings of women were examined. His idea of indifference was seen within the context of the Dandy and his alter ego, Rrose Selavy as a Femme Fatale. -
Talia Kwartler
HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.14324/111.2396-9008.052 SUZANNE DUCHAMP’S READYMADE PAINTINGS Talia Kwartler uzanne Duchamp pushed the boundaries of painting by incorporating unorthodox, machine-made materials within interconnected pictorial Sgeometries. This article focuses on her distinct way of combining modern elements with traditional mediums and situates her within dialogues on the readymade taking place between New York, Zurich and Paris during the 1910s and 1920s. These exchanges involved an international group of artists, including Jean Crotti, the artist’s older brother Marcel Duchamp, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Sophie Taeuber- Arp and Beatrice Wood. While Duchamp has been summarily treated in the literature on Dada, there has been little concentrated attention focused on her specific involvement with the movement. Her engagement ranged from correspondences with her older brother Marcel while he was based in New York to in-person collaborations when many of these artists returned to Paris after World War I, particularly Picabia and Crotti, whom she would marry in 1919. This article explores Duchamp’s readymade paintings both in relationship to other artists and as a body of work in its own right. A better understanding of her individual approach will shed greater light on ideas she shared with other Dadaists. This is because the particular way she integrated readymades within the mediums of painting, drawing and poetry arguably had an effect on the broader group. Picabia wrote in ‘Carnet du Doctor Serner’ in 391: ‘Suzanne Duchamp does more intelligent things than paint’.1 By turning Picabia’s assertion into a question, this article asks: What exactly was Duchamp doing that was ‘more intelligent’ than painting? Testing Picabia’s claim against her artworks, I will examine how the complex materials of Un et une menacés (1916, figure 1), Radiation de deux seuls éloignés (1916–20, figure 2), and Le Readymade malheureux de Marcel (1920, figure 3) function in relationship to each other. -
