Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst - The Bride Shared

Zusatztext impresssive study .../ copiously illustrated and pleasingly annotated.../ For any reader wishing to deepen their knowledge of these particular paintings the book is a welcome shake-up of more canonical readings. Dr Hopkins finely spun theoretical framework - dancing as it does from Rosicrucianism to Dutch Symbolism to Descartes and back again - sometimes veers toward hermeticism itself, but nonetheless opens unexpected new prospects on the four central works./ A.A., Art Newspaper, July-Aug 1999. Zusammenfassung A study of the work of Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst providing an examination of their use of the structural interaction of "ready-made" belief systems. The artists are revealed as precursors of the postmodern obsessions with male and female identity and cultural fragmentation. In the CLARENDON STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF ART series.
