A very accessible, comprehensive collection, Jun 4 2001
This review is from: Affectionately Marcel (Hardcover)
This collection gathers selected correspondence of artist Marcel Duchamp, selecting carefully from a huge volume of letters to provide correspondence to many of his notable friends. The art historian author spent twenty years assembling, translating and annotating these letters; add historical context and background and you have a very accessible, comprehensive collection.

The Man Who Wrote to Everyone, Dec 5 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Affectionately Marcel (Hardcover)
Impeccibly researched, designed, and presented, these selected letters retain their original type, language, and format, so you feel like Duchamp's personality is laid bare. This book has been invaluable for me in understanding the person behind some of the 20th century's most amazing artistic practices. If you're interested in modern art, buy this book!
