Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1947 Marcel Duchamp sent a telegram from NYC to Paris and in 1990 David Prowler found it in a bookstore in San Francisco, launching a treasure hunt for Duchamp's life, thoughts, and art.Now back in print, A Telegram From Marcel Duchamp brings Duchamp's essence to life.Duchamp is generally considered the most influential artist of the 20th Century. But he was also a great thinker, and A Telegram From Marcel Duchamp is a seriously fun introduction to his thoughts.It's got something for everyone: How to draw a giraffe, Ernest Hemingway, multiple choice quizzes, theories on the suicide of Arshile Gorky, Hedy Lamarr, visionary architect Frederick Kiesler, and a selection of Surrealist superstitions -all seen through the keyhole of the Telegram.Duchamp believed in Chance - but not in Belief. He sought out things with "a total absence of good or bad taste". He celebrated everyday objects and gave us a new way to look at the world around us, inspiring generations of artists.A Telegram From Marcel Duchamp "prompts the reader to reflect upon - and experience directly - the artist's thought. An artful, witty little book. We finally feel challenged, satisfied and perhaps somewhat enlightened." ArtweekIt's: "entertaining " Allen Ginsberg"delightful .the whole of it has a fine Duchampian irony ". Calvin Tomkins"a gem" Mark Polizzotti, author of Why Surrealism MattersIt's "quirky and charming, exactly in the spirit of the Maestro " Donald Quaintance, author, Duchamp in California: Walter Hopps Curates a RetrospectiveIt's "stimulating" according to Arturo Schwarz, author of The Complete Works of Marcel DuchampAnd Mme. Duchamp "enjoyed it a lot".The book will find an audience in fans of art, Duchampians, and anyone looking for a playful mix of images and text.Release of the expanded and redesigned 2026 edition is timed to coincide with major Duchamp retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Paris' Grand Palais. A witty and accessible introduction to the thoughts of artist Marcel Duchamp. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Marcel Duchamp was both an artist and a chess player, but until now, little was known of his chess activities. In analyzing Duchamp's games--seeing how he reacted in specific situations during play--we can better understand how his mind worked, and gain insight into the strategies that motivated his work as an artist. Duchamp saw a correlation between art and chess, and actively sought opportunities to combine the two seemingly unrelated disciplines. Not only did he love the game, but he was aware of the reputation of chess as an intensely cerebral pursuit, and to the end of his life, he remained committed to challenging the French adage 'd'etre bete comme un peintre' ('to be stupid like a painter'), raising his art to equivalently complex, intellectual heights. Naumann shows us just how deeply intertwined the two activities were for Duchamp. Edited by Francis M. Naumann. Text by Francis M. Naumann, Bradley Bailey, Jennifer Shahade. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
