In The Visible Word, Johanna Drucker shows how later art criticism has distorted our understanding of such works. She argues that Futurist, Dadaist, and Cubist artists emphasized materiality as the heart of their experimental approach to both visual and poetic forms of representation; by mid-century, however, the tenets of New Criticism and High Modernism had polarized the visual and the literary. Drucker suggests a methodology closer to the actual practices of the early avant-garde artists, based on a rereading of their critical and theoretical writings. After reviewing theories of signification, the production of meaning, and materiality, she analyzes the work of four poets active in the typographic experimentation of the 1910s and 1920s: Ilia Zdanevich, Filippo Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Tristan Tzara. Few studies of avant-garde art and literature in the early twentieth century have acknowledged the degree to which typographic activity furthered debates about the very nature and function of the avant-garde. The Visible Word enriches our understanding of the processes of change in artistic production and reception in the twentieth century. 001382565 648_7 $$a1900-1999$$2fast 001382565 650_0 $$aPrinting$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001382565 650_0 $$aType and type-founding$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001382565 650_0 $$aArt, Modern$$y20th century. 001382565 650_0 $$aArt and literature. 001382565 650_0 $$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001382565 650_7 $$aArt and literature.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00815400 001382565 650_7 $$aArt, Modern.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00816615 001382565 650_7 $$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00824280 001382565 650_7 $$aPrinting.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01076612 001382565 650_7 $$aType and type-founding.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01159951 001382565 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001382565 852__ $$bgen 001382565 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1382565$$pGLOBAL_SET 001382565 980__ $$aBIB 001382565 980__ $$aBOOK 001382565 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
