The Adventure of Abstract Art - Signed Copy

Description

Michel Ragon, L'aventure de l'art abstrait. Robert Laffont, octavo, paperback, (worn cover), 243 pages. Enriched with a fine inscription from the author on behalf of Baron Elie de Rothschild to the wife of poet Fernand Gregh. Having maintained long-standing friendships with most of the artists discussed, Michel Ragon witnessed the development of this new aesthetic movement, participated in controversies and struggles between different tendencies. This book is the result of a ten-year journey. Less a work of criticism and history than a vivid, anecdotal, sometimes polemical account by a witness to the emergence of abstract art in the Paris School. A lived art book that reads like a novel.
