Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Emerging from the language-driven turn of 1960s visual art, Cointet's codex simultaneously employs and obfuscates the logic of ConceptualismOriginally self-published by Guy de Cointet (1934-83) in 1972, A Captain from Portugal is a short novel composed of the artist's own coded letterforms. Printed in a hand-drawn, polygonal font, this artist's book retains the formal logic of a standard paperback--including section breaks, illustrations and captions--that begs to be read like any other book. However, instead of standard literary fare, Cointet delivers a series of visually mesmerizing encrypted texts. Rather than alienating the reader, these texts pull them in through delicately arranged patterns, at times so intricate as to create a moire effect on the page. Complementing these writings are additional boxlike codes, a short song presented in staff notation and several illustrations, a few of which point to the artist's jagged, triangular drawings of the early 1980s. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798994638194
