Peggy Guggenheim: Ths Shock of the Moderm / Prose, Francine., 2015

 Item
Identifier: CC-61579-10004035
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: One of twentieth-century America's most influential patrons of the arts, Peggy Guggenheim (1898--1979) brought to wide public attention the work of such modern masters as Jackson Pollock and Man Ray. In her time, there was no stronger advocate for the groundbreaking and the avant-garde. Her midtown gallery was the acknowledged center of the postwar New York art scene, and her museum on the Grand Canal in Venice remains one of the world's great collections of modern art. Yet as renowned as she was for the art and artists she so tirelessly championed, Guggenheim was equally famous for her unconventional personal life, and for her ironic, playful desire to shock.Acclaimed best-selling author Francine Prose offers a singular reading of Guggenheim's life that will enthrall enthusiasts of twentieth-century art, as well as anyone interested in American and European culture and the interrelationships between them. The lively and insightful narrative follows Guggenheim through...

 Item
Identifier: CC-03568-3632
Scope and Contents

Kurt Schwitters has written, "I pasted words and sentences together into poems in such a way that their rhythmic composition created a kind of drawing. The other way around, I pasted together pictures and drawings containing sentences that demand to be read. I drove nails into pictures in such a way that besides the pictorial effect a plastic relief effect arose. I did this in order to erase the boundaries between the arts." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Pure Act: The Uncommon Life of Robert Lax, 2015

 Item
Identifier: CC-61184-10003920
Scope and Contents Stored in Robert Lax box.New York Times book review: To describe Robert Lax as a minimalist poet does scant justice to the reedlike shape of his "vertical" poems. A typical page in his most comprehensive book, "Poems (1962-1997)," might contain 20 words arranged in columnar form, a single syllable or punctuation mark to each line. One poem consists of "ro"‰/"‰ber"‰/"‰to" "” the name Lax was often called in his adopted country, Greece "” repeated three times, followed by "cries"‰/"‰the"‰/"‰roos"‰/"‰ter" with the final pair of syllables again thrice repeated.This can be curiously beguiling, over a brief period, but Lax's poetry has little of the visual playfulness or verbal ingenuity of like-minded members of that broad church known as concrete poetry, like Ian Hamilton Finlay, the Scottish poet and artist with whom Lax corresponded. In "Pure Act," Michael N. McGregor tells us more than once that Lax was mainly interested in writing for himself.McGregor, a professor at Portland...
