Hardback. Condition: Fair. In 1913 Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase exploded through the American art world.  This is the story of how he followed the painting to New York two years later, enchanted the Arensberg salon, and?almost incidentally?changed art forever. In 1915, a group of French artists fled war-torn Europe for New York.  In the few months between their arrival?and America?s entry into the war in April 1917?they pushed back the boundaries of the possible, in both life and art.  The vortex of this transformation was the apartment at 33 West 67th Street, owned by Walter and Louise Arensberg, where artists and poets met nightly to talk, eat, drink, discuss each others? work, play chess, plan balls, organise magazines and exhibitions, and fall in and out of love.  At the center of all this activity stood the mysterious figure of Marcel Duchamp, always approachable, always unreadable.  His exhibit of a urinal, which he called Fountain, briefly shocked the New York art world before falling, like its perpetrator, into obscurity. Many people (of both sexes) were in love with Duchamp. Henri-Pierre Roché and Beatrice Wood were among them; they were also, briefly, and (for her) life-changingly, in love with each other.  Both kept daily diaries, which give an intimate picture of the events of those years.  Or rather two pictures?for the views they offer, including of their own love affair, are stunningly divergent.  Spellbound by Marcel follows Duchamp, Roché, and Beatrice as they traverse the twentieth century. Roché became the author of Jules and Jim, made into a classic film by François Truffaut.  Beatrice became a celebrated ceramicist. Duchamp fell into chess-playing obscurity until, decades later, he became famous for a second time?as Fountain was elected the twentieth century?s most influential artwork. 'Breezily entertaining.There's a fabulous cast of supporting characters on this busy stage' - The Spectator'A delicious and deeply researched portrait of its time' - New York Times'Part drama, part page-turning history, this paints the complexities of art and love in a seductive light' - Publishers Weekly.…
