Picasso’s discovery of cubism, while firmly grounded in artistic tradition, also partook liberally of the artist’s everyday life and the intellectual milieu of turn-of-the-century Paris. For a while, Picasso even carried the playwright Alfred Jarrey’s pistol – loaded with blanks – with which he would shoot people who struck him as overly dull or earnest.Įinstein, Picasso is filled with revelations about how these young geniuses lived and worked.

The other polarity is between using a little-known source text with few prior associations for most readers vs. erasure through removal (becoming an important visual element in itself, the white space of the page substitutes for most of Milton’s text in Radi Os). One polarity is erasure through superimposition (in A Humument, words are obscured by abstract visual elements) vs. These two books establish two of the genre’s constitutive polarities. Subtractive composition has become a genre of its own in recent decades, its early major examples (in English at least) being the British artist Tom Phillips’s A Humument, derived from an otherwise forgotten late Victorian novel called A Human Document-the first of several versions of Phillips’s book was published in 1970-and the American poet Ronald Johnson’s poem Radi Os, distilled from Paradise Lost and published in 1977. Modern authors, perhaps under the influence of the Duchampian concept of the readymade, have been using their erasers in ways the old Roman could never have imagined. “Erase often, if you hope to write something worth rereading,” quoth Horace. ![]() ![]() ![]() POSSESSING HER WOULD BE HIS PLEASURE Callum MacGregor has taken many Campbell lives, but he’s never saved one–until now.
