Felix Feneon THE ANARCHIST AND THE AVANT-GARDE Hardcover with dust jacket

Félix Fénéon: The Anarchist and the Avant-Garde. From the Museum Of Modern Art New York City. Elegant oversized Hardcover with dust jacket Félix Fénéon: The Anarchist and the Avant-Garde. The story of French impresario, dandy and anarchist F lix F n on's extraordinary influence on early modernism "It would not be a commonplace portrait at all, but a carefully composed picture, with very carefully arranged colors and lines. A rhythmic and angular pose. A decorative F lix, entering with his hat or a flower in his hand." With these words, in 1890, Paul Signac described to F lix F n on the extraordinary portrait he was dedicating to him. In it, Signac paid homage to F n on's distinctive appearance, his generous but enigmatic personality and his innovative approach to modernism. Signac's portrait spotlights a figure who often chose to remain behind the scenes. But F n on's impact--as a writer, dealer, publisher, curator, collector and anarchist--was tremendous. F n on helped define the movement known as neoimpressionism, a term he himself coined in the 1880s; he helped launch the careers of Seurat, Signac, Bonnard, Matisse and Modigliani; he was the first editor of the work of Rimbaud and Lautr amont; and he was active in anarchist circles. *Excellent condition* No wear, stains tears,* like new*
