BRANDON, RUTH. Spellbound by Marcel: Duchamp, love, and art. New York: Pegasus Books, 2022, First Pegasus Books cloth edition, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, xii, 241pp., . "In 1915, a group of French artists fled war-torn Europe for New York. In the few months between their arrival--and America's entry into the war in April 1917--they pushed back the boundaries of the possible, in both life and art. The vortex of this transformation was the apartment at 33 West 67th Street, owned by Walter and Louise Arensberg, where artists and poets met nightly to talk, eat, drink, discuss each others' work, play chess, plan balls, organise magazines and exhibitions, and fall in and out of love. At the center of all this activity stood the mysterious figure of Marcel Duchamp, always approachable, always unreadable. His exhibit of a urinal, which he called Fountain, briefly shocked the New York art world before falling, like its perpetrator, into obscurity. Many people (of both sexes) were in love with Duchamp. Henri-Pierre Roché and Beatrice Wood were among them; they were also, briefly, and (for her) life-changingly, in love with each other. Both kept daily diaries, which give an intimate picture of the events of those years. Or rather two pictures--for the views they offer, including of their own love affair, are stunningly divergent. Spellbound by Marcel follows Duchamp, Roché, and Beatrice as they traverse the twentieth century. Roché became the author of Jules and Jim, made into a classic film by François Truffaut. Beatrice became a celebrated ceramicist. Duchamp fell into chess-playing obscurity until, decades later, he became famous for a second time--as Fountain was elected the twentieth century's most influential artwork" - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Part one: Prewar.

".This book, besides presenting a documented photographic survey of Duchamp's works, offers ten original essays by eminent scholars and critics. The essays cover Duchamp's explorations in the areas of language, poetry, the machine, alchemy, and the epistemology of art; on a more personal level, they treat the milieux and the friendships that shaped his character, the life style to which he adhered, and the influence his example has exerted. Passages from his lectures are included in the book, as well as comments and tributes by more than fifty colleagues, friends, and interested observers. Documentary illustrations, a chronology, and a bibliography complete the volume. First published in 1973 to immediate acclaim, this monograph continues to be a definitive book on Duchamp.".…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First printing. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 9.25", shows light shelfwear. Binding is sound. Pages are clean and bright. xi/184 pages. "With such works as "Nude Descending a Staircase" (1912) and the urinal which he presented as the ready-made "Fountain" (1917), Marcel Duchamp extended modern art while pretending to destroy it. The result, as the contributors to this volume show, was a new way of thinking that blurred the traditional distinction between life and art, providing inspiration for a variety of groups ranging from Pop to Conceptual Art. In this illustrated volume, such contributors as Clement Greenberg, Thomas Hess, Max Kozloff, and Claude Levi-Strauss trace the positive and negative reactions to Duchamp and his works, from the early Cubist paintings through the "ready-mades" to the ironic and chance constructions of his later career. In analyzing the artist who dismissed his works by saying "Nothing was intended," this volume shows that Marcel Duchamp is truly one of the most significant figures of 20th-century art.".…
