Impressions of Raymond Roussel: Locus Solus

Impressions of Raymond Roussel: Locus Solus

João Fernandes
4.5/5 ( ratings)

Few writers have had a greater impact on the methods of art-making in the twentieth century than Raymond Roussel . Marcel Duchamp acknowledged Roussel as the foremost influence on his "Large Glass"; Andr� Breton described him as the "greatest magnetizer of modern times"; and at least two generations of conceptual artists, from Allen Ruppersberg and Guy de Cointet to Rodney Graham and Paul Etienne Lincoln have borrowed or adapted Roussel's "proc�d�" for writing, which involved selecting two similar-sounding words, elaborating them into two similar-sounding sentences and then "writing a tale which can start with the first and finish by the second." Reproducing a wealth of archival materials, artworks and writings, this volume--a kind of Roussel encyclopedia--assesses the writer's legacy in art for the first time. Alongside works by the above, it includes art by Max Ernst, Salvador Dal�, Joseph Cornell, Ree Morton and others; and writings on Roussel by Jean Cocteau, Paul Eluard, Michel Leiris, Duchamp, Dal�, Philippe Soupault, Ernst, Breton, Ruppersberg, Michel Foucault, Jacques Brunius and Michel Butor.
