Mark Silverberg

The New York School Poets and the Neo-Avant-Garde (eBook, ePUB)

Between Radical Art and Radical Chic

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the first monograph to examine all five New York School Poets, Mark Silverberg analyzes the work of John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler in terms of the 'neo-avant-garde.' Silverberg examines the aesthetic concerns and ideological assumptions these poets shared with one another and with artists from the visual and performing arts. A unique feature is Silverberg's annotated catalogue of collaborative works by the five poets and other artists.
