Book Synopsis Arthur Cravan: Maintenant? by : Emmanuel Guigon
Download or read book Arthur Cravan: Maintenant? written by Emmanuel Guigon and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adventurer as well as poet and boxer, Fabian Avenarius Lloyd (1887-1918) – a towering ‘mystic Colossus’ – assumed the pseudonym Arthur Cravan on arriving in Paris in 1909. He was a highly enigmatic man, a uniquely colourful character whose life merged into his work, and whose birth and death remain as obscure as his livelihood. Cravan, nephew of Oscar Wilde, achieved fame through the non-conformist magazine Maintenant, of which he was director, editor and sole contributor. Given his mysterious background, his behaviour and his sense of provocation, Cravan is clearly entitled to a place among the key precursors of Dadaism. Surely the least of Cravan’s feats included entering the ring against world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, selling his poetry in the streets of Paris like a barrow-boy hawking fruit and vegetables, and on numerous occasions giving active voice to his views under the imperious and imperative title : MAINTENANT."--Page 4 de la couverture.
Book Synopsis Works of Arthur Cravan by : A. G. O'meara
Download or read book Works of Arthur Cravan written by A. G. O'meara and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man sometimes known as Arthur Cravan made a reputation for himself partly through violent theatrics. He shot a gun over the heads of his audience, he threw a boxing match in order to gain funds to traverse the ocean to New York City, and, finally, in an act of great negation, he got lost on a sail boat in the gulf of Mexico and never returned. A defiant proletarian, Cravan writes in such a way that spits in the face of his contemporary artists for their haughtiness and their old age, as well as for their lack of interest in danger and women. It's no wonder that the surrealists and the Situationists gravitated toward him.

Book Synopsis Cravan Mystery Man of the Twentieth Century by : Mike Richardson
Download or read book Cravan Mystery Man of the Twentieth Century written by Mike Richardson and published by Dark Horse Comics. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about the most interesting person you've never heard of: Arthur Cravan, major figure in pre-WWI cutting-edge art circles, was among the greatest mysterious figures of the Twentieth Century. A self-confessed thief, forger, and con-artist, he used a roster of assumed names and false identities. He was known, at various times, as a novelist, poet, painter, art critic, lecturer, publisher, and the lightweight boxing champion of France. Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon Trotsky earned him the surveillance of the U.S. government-even through his immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina Loy. In 1918, at the age of thirty-one, the fascinating physical giant vanished without a trace, and-despite several supposed sightings over the years-was never seen again. Is it possible that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B. Traven, who wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vache, Jacques Atlas Anti-Classics This book collects together works by four 'writers' on the fringes of the Dada movement in 1920's Paris. All four took the nihilism of the movement to its ultimate conclusion, their works are remnants of lives lived to the limit and then cast aside with nonchalance and abandon. Yet, their writings - to which they attached so little importance - still exert a powerful allure and were a vital inspiration to the Dada movement.

Download or read book Alfred Jarry written by Alastair Brotchie and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited biography of Alfred Jarry reconstructs a life both "ubuesque" and pataphysical. When Alfred Jarry died in 1907 at the age of thirty-four, he was a legendary figure in Paris—but this had more to do with his bohemian lifestyle and scandalous behavior than his literary achievements. A century later, Jarry is firmly established as one of the leading figures of the artistic avant-garde. Even so, most people today tend to think of Alfred Jarry only as the author of the play Ubu Roi, and of his life as a string of outlandish “ubuesque” anecdotes, often recounted with wild inaccuracy. In this first full-length critical biography of Jarry in English, Alastair Brotchie reconstructs the life of a man intent on inventing (and destroying) himself, not to mention his world, and the “philosophy” that defined their relation. Brotchie alternates chapters of biographical narrative with chapters that connect themes, obsessions, and undercurrents that relate to the life. The anecdotes remain, and are even augmented: Jarry's assumption of the “ubuesque,” his inversions of everyday behavior (such as eating backward, from cheese to soup), his exploits with gun and bicycle, and his herculean feats of drinking. But Brotchie distinguishes between Jarry's purposely playing the fool and deeper nonconformities that appear essential to his writing and his thought, both of which remain a vital subterranean influence to this day.
Book Synopsis Maxims and Reflections by : Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Download or read book Maxims and Reflections written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his long, hectic and astonishingly varied life, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) would jot down his passing thoughts on theatre programmes, visiting cards, draft manuscripts and even bills ... Goethe was probably the last true ‘Renaissance Man’. Although employed as a Privy Councillor at the Duke of Weimar’s court, where he helped oversee major mining, road-building and irrigation projects, he also painted, directed plays, carried out research in anatomy, botany and optics – and still found time to produce masterpieces in every literary genre. His fourteen hundred Maxims and Reflections reveal some of his deepest thought on art, ethics, literature and natural science, but also his immediate reactions to books, chance encounters or his administrative work. Although variable in quality, the vast majority have a freshness and immediacy which vividly conjure up Goethe the man. They make an ideal introduction to one of the greatest of European writers.
Download or read book Oscar Wilde written by John Stokes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stokes offers studies of Wilde's place in the Romantic tradition, and of his relationships with such legendary figures of the fin de siecle as Aubrey Beardsley, Alfred Jarry, and Arthur Symons. And always, as part of the process of historical inquiry, Stokes considers those who came after: humanitarian disciples who kept Wilde's memory sacred, performers in his plays, actors who impersonated the man himself.
