About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1975. 121 pages, illustrations; 21 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Expected browning, edges lightly soiled. Stated First Printing. Dust jacket toned, with light shelfwear, protected in a mylar cover. "The Painted Word charts the erratic course of the social history of Modern Art from it beginnings in revolution - a revolution against literary content in art - to its present state, in which it has become, quite unconsciously, a parody of itself, obsessedly devoted to the pronouncements of certain guru-critics, to the point of reductio ad absurdum, to the point where - turnabout being fair play - it has become as literary, as academic, as mannered, as clubby, as the salon painting agwinst which it first rebelled." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. Collectible.
