The Modernist Bestiary

The Modernist Bestiary Centres On Le Bestiaire Ou Cortge Dorphe (1911), A Multimedia Collaborative Work By French-polish Poet Guillaume Apollinaire And French Artist Raoul Dufy, And Its Homonym, The Bestiary Or Procession Of Orpheus (1979), By British Artist Graham Sutherland. Rather Than Reconstructing The Lineage Of These Two Compositions, The Book Uncovers The Aesthetic And Intellectual Processes Involved That Operate In Different Times, Places And Media. The Apollinaire And Dufy Bestiary Is An Open-ended Collaboration, A Feature That Sutherland Develops In His Re-visiting, And This Book Shows How These Neglected Works Are Caught Up In Many-faceted Networks Of Traditions And Genres.
