Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "Öyvind Fahlstrom (1928-76), the Brazilian-born Swedish multi-artist, is one of the mid-twentieth century's most intriguing cultural figures. His work, as profoundly political as it is aesthetic, spans two tumultuous decades in the avant-garde world and comprises concrete poetry (his own innovation), manifestos, plays, multiple prints, installations, sound poems, sculpture, and even architecture. Initially poorly received in Sweden and little appreciated in the English-speaking world, Fahlstrom is now increasingly recognized as an important figure in the world of art, with his work"”especially his witty collages and interactive "games," his photomontages and mini-installations"”being shown around the globe. The first study to give this major twentieth-century artist his due, this book serves as both an informative and entertaining introduction to Öyvind Fahlstrom and a valuable critical analysis of some of his most important works. The five works Bessa focuses on are...

The Dark of the Screen / Peterson, Sidney ; Jarry A., 1980

 Item
Identifier: CC-45937-48639
Scope and Contents From the dustjacket, "Sidney Peterson was one of the originators of the American avant-garde cinema. The five films he made in San Francisco between 1947 and 1950 have become classics; they have influenced the cinematic education of many of the best filmmakers of the subsequent generations. For years Peterson had an underground reputation as a man of immense and arcane learning, surprising wit, and unorthodox insights into the working of advanced cinema and modern art. In The Dark of the Screen he writes about the cinematic experience and his role as a filmmaker. It is a book in the tradition and spirit of Marcel Duchamp. Elegantly written, drolly irreverent, it tells the story of his involvement with cinema during what has been called the San Francisco Renaissance (1945-50) and his subsequent adventures as the first consultant on the artistic future of television for the Museum of Modern Art in New York. After attempting to make a documentary film about Kwakiutl Indians, he worked...
