art book MARCEL DUCHAMP or CASTLE OF PURITY by OCTAVIO PAZ pb 1970 Cape Goliard

Description: MARCEL DUCHAMP or THE CASTLE OF PURITY Text by OCTAVIO PAZ Translated from the Spanish by Donald Gardner This was the first English language edition of this scholarly work on the influence of Marcel Duchamp's work. Paz is better know for his poetry and some prose, rather than his art criticism. This book has the unusual feature of a title page with a die-cut profile of Duchamp, based on a piece by the artist made in 1963. (See the second photo.) There are other images of his work on the front and back covers and as a "colour insert". This book was bought used, but is in very good condition.
