About This Item
London: Virgin Books, 1980. First published in France in 1980 by Éditions Gallimard. Translation by John and Doreen Weightman. The life, loves, art and death of painter Sokolov. The man who gave action painting a new meaning. 4 plates in color. This is the one and only novel by the 20th century provocateur of French pop music and film. 'Evguenie Sokolov' is about an artist who uses his intestinal gases as the medium for his scandalous artwork. 'Gainsbourg is both the best and the worst, yin and yang, white and black. This Jewish little Prince from Russia whose dreams were probably fueled by Anderssen, Perrault and Grimm, became, when confronted by the tragic reality of life, a moving or repugnant Quasimodo, depending on his and your state of mind. Hidden deep within this fragile, shy and aggressive man lies the soul of a poet craving tenderness, truth and integrity' (Brigitte Bardot). 'Serge Gainsbourg is one of the world's great eccentrics. His kinky obsessions, smothering fashion with tastelessness have catapulted him into super stardom in France' (John Zorn). Serge Gainsbourg, born Lucien Ginsburg (1928 - 1991) was a French singer, songwriter, poet, composer, artist, actor and director. 100 pag. . 1st edition. stiff wrappers. Good copy/Cover in color. 19,5cmx11cm.
