Item description from seller

The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown; edited by Jean Clair; Exhibition organized by Pierre Theberge; Yale University Press, New Haven, in association with the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 2004. From the Foreword – In the spring of 1998, early in my first year as Director, Jean Clair gave a lecture at the National Gallery of Canada during a Picasso exhibition. He spoke about the artist’s “Italian Period” beginning in 1917, when Picasso was working with the Ballets Russes on the gigantic stage curtain for Satie’s Parade. The curtain depicts the classic clowns Harlequin, the netherworld rogue, and Pierre, the mute poet, seated backstage among other circus figures, watching an angelic equestrian reaching heavenward, guided by a monkey. While Picasso found meaning in the characters of the commedia dell’arte as allegorical representations of social figures of the past, they also seemed present in his contemporary world. So, too, did they stand for the many roles of the artist himself: critic, dissenter, outcast, wanderer, enchanter, acrobat, clown. The cosmic symbolism of Parade rekindled a subject of mutual interest – that of nineteenth – and twentieth- century artists’ continuing fascination with the circus and its denizens. An exhibition idea was born. In this exhibition we explore the circus as the locale for artists’ imaginative expression, and the clown as a metaphor for the condition of the modern artist. The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown sets out to explore the magical world of the circus and its appeal to artists. It is a fascination we share with them. This very large and heavy book, 423 pages, is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, that is enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. This large and heavy book may require additional postage.
