Poems / Andre, Carl ; Kost L ; Mavridorakis V ; Delahunty G., 2014

 Item
Identifier: CC-59676-10002736
Scope and Contents Editorial Review: "Carl Andre (born 1935) was a poet before he was an artist, and between 1960 and 1965 he produced a substantial body of innovative visual poetry. Arranging language on paper as carefully and as sculpturally as he was later to arrange pieces of metal or bricks on the floor, Andre approached words as adjustable entities, to be moved around within the limits of the space of the sheet of paper. These works, made during the height of the international Concrete poetry movement, appeared alongside his sculptures in exhibitions and were excerpted in scholarly writings about the artist. With this volume, Andre's influential poetic oeuvre is now gathered comprehensively for the first time. The poems, which were often typed on 8 x 11 paper, are reproduced in quasi-facsimile, to convey Andre's sculptural intentions. Also included are essays by art historians Gavin Delahunty and Valerie Mavridorakis, and curator Lynn Kost."This book accompanied an exhibition, Carl Andre:...

Identifier: CC-32911-34527

Concerning Finlay's work the text states, "Many of his admirers surely know Finlay thanks to his elegantly printed works arriving by the mail like leaves pressed from an enchanted forest.

Poeta Visual, 1998

 Item
Identifier: CC-30627-32067
Scope and Contents

Victoria Combalia writes in her essay The Disturbing Objects of Joan Brossa that "certain themes on Brossa's work are easily recognized as 'Brossian': masks, letters of the alphabet, ordinary objects from daily life, playing cards...Perhaps the most important motif - or at the least the most utilized - by Brossa are letters of the alphabet. Brossa works with them as Cezanne did with his apples; he uses them in every way and in all places, as they are for him his dearest motif." In terms of his visual poetry, Combalia states that it "belongs to the long tradition of experimental poetry, in the line that goes from Mallarme to concrete poetry." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
