The Four Suits, 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-27300-27864
Scope and Contents

The title of this book as described by Dick Higgins refers to the four authors of this book who are each identified in the introductions pages to their section by a suite of playing cards, e.g., clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. Thus, what they have in common is that 1) each is essentially not operating in a media for which they were trained, 2) each is really operating in a medium or mode of activity of their own devising, which 3) lies somewhere between the conventional concept of the seven arts. The name Ben Patterson is used in this citation rather than Benjamin Patterson since all other references in this database refer to Ben not Benjamin Patterson. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
