Writing on the Wall

From the cut-up Cubist collages of Picasso to the monumental filmic narratives of Fiona Banner, and from the schoolboy subversion of Magritte to the demotic scrawl of Cy Twombly, the use of words is one of the defining features of modern art. This book considers the manifold infiltrations of the written word into the visual arts.

De la colajele cubiste taiate ale lui Picasso la naratiunile filmice monumentale ale lui Fiona Banner si de la subversiunea scolarului Magritte la scrierea demotica a Cy Twombly, utilizarea cuvintelor este una dintre trasaturile definitorii ale artei moderne. Aceasta carte ia in considerare infiltratiile multiple ale cuvantului scris in artele vizuale.
