The work is over nine feet tall, and on its glass surface Duchamp used such unorthodox materials as lead wire, lead foil, mirror silver, and dust, in addition to more conventional oil paint and varnish. Duchamp's declared subject is the relation between the sexes, but his protagonists are biomechanical creatures: a \"Bride\" in the upper panel hovers over a \"Bachelor Apparatus\" in the panel below, stimulating the \"Bachelors\" with \"love gasoline\" for an \"electrical stripping.\" In preparation for the Large Glass, Duchamp wrote hundreds of notes, which he considered just as important as the work itself. He published 178 during his lifetime, but over 100 more notes relating to the Glass were discovered and published following his death. In this landmark book, Linda Henderson provides the first systematic study of the Large Glass in relation to the entire corpus of Duchamp's notes for the project. Since Duchamp declared his interest in creating a \"Playful Physics,\" she focuses on the scientific and technological themes that pervade the notes and the imagery of the Large Glass. In doing so, Henderson provides an unprecedented history of science as popularly known at the turn of the century, centered on late Victorian physics. In addition to electromagnetic waves, including X-rays and the Hertzian waves of wireless telegraphy, the areas of science to which Duchamp responded so creatively ranged from chemistry and classical mechanics to thermodynamics, Brownian movement, radioactivity, and atomic theory. Restored to its context and amplified by the information in the posthumously published notes, the Large Glass appears far richer and more multifaceted and witty than had ever been suspected. Henderson also includes a close examination of Duchamp's literary and artistic models for creative invention based on science, including Alfred Jarry, Raymond Roussel, Frantisek Kupka, and Guillaume Apollinaire. The book will not only redefine scholarship on Duchamp and the Large Glass, but will be a crucial resource for historians of literature, science, and modernism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49546133930257,"sku":"GOR013716400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691123861.jpg?v=1750944512"},{"product_id":"fourth-dimension-and-non-euclidean-geometry-in-modern-art-book-linda-dalrymple-henderson-9780262536554","title":"The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe long-awaited new edition of a groundbreaking work on the impact of alternative concepts of space on modern art.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception--the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space--were central to the development of modern art. The possibility of a spatial fourth dimension suggested that our world might be merely a shadow or section of a higher dimensional existence. That iconoclastic idea encouraged radical innovation by a variety of early twentieth-century artists, ranging from French Cubists, Italian Futurists, and Marcel Duchamp, to Max Weber, Kazimir Malevich, and the artists of De Stijl and Surrealism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an extensive new Reintroduction, Henderson surveys the impact of interest in higher dimensions of space in art and culture from the 1950s to 2000. Although largely eclipsed by relativity theory beginning in the 1920s, the spatial fourth dimension experienced a resurgence during the later 1950s and 1960s. In a remarkable turn of events, it has returned as an important theme in contemporary culture in the wake of the emergence in the 1980s of both string theory in physics (with its ten- or eleven-dimensional universes) and computer graphics. Henderson demonstrates the importance of this new conception of space for figures ranging from Buckminster Fuller, Robert Smithson, and the Park Place Gallery group in the 1960s to Tony Robbin and digital architect Marcos Novak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50407995932945,"sku":"GOR013400762","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50896378265873,"sku":"NGR9780262536554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262536552.jpg?v=1750738477"},{"product_id":"fourth-dimension-and-non-euclidean-geometry-in-modern-art-book-linda-dalrymple-henderson-9780262582445","title":"The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art","description":"We achieve what we believe. Want more out of your career? More out of a relationship? More out of life? It doesn't come down to motivational talks, a better work ethic, or more opportunities - it comes down to what you believe. Want to accelerate change? Then Rewire what you believe, specifically, and watch the trajectory of life change for the better. The brain can be Rewired. The secret weapon in the transformation game comes from attacking the obstacle at the appropriate place: our limiting belief. By identifying the limiting belief as the root of resistance to change, we break free from static thinking and power up our performance, relationships and purpose. This opens the door to new frontiers and great gains.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50616288772369,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50616289263889,"sku":"GOR011713601","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51746188820753,"sku":"CIN0262582449G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262582449.jpg?v=1750877539"},{"product_id":"fourth-dimension-and-non-euclidean-geometry-in-modern-art-book-linda-dalrymple-henderson-9780691101422","title":"The Fourth Dimension And Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art","description":"The Description for this book, The Fourth Dimension And Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art, will be forthcoming.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53499992768785,"sku":"CIN0691101426G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780691101422.jpg?v=1778004380"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-linda-dalrymple-henderson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
