An exploded poem by Francis Picabia, published by the inevitable PAB in Alès, enriched by a provocative preface by Jean van Heeckeren:
"Picabia is the only example of a great painter who is also a great poet. Perhaps there is the case of Michelangelo, but not knowing a word of Italian I cannot judge him, never trusting general opinion.
[...]
WHO-LO-SA? Are they poems? Are they aphorisms? Neither. It's a book. A book like you've never read before. And this book will delight neither the foolish, nor the incomplete, nor the enlightened, nor the blind - in other words, the majority of people."
A fine copy of this very fine book by the great artist Picabia.
Nice copy
