The bride & the bachelors

Jean Marcel) Robert

An excellent book from the 1960s that thoughtfully profiles Duchamp, Tinguely, Cage, Rauschenberg, and Merce Cunningham, from the longtim writer for The New Yorker. Still useful, neither fawning nor skeptical, it gives biographical profiles of all of the artists along with thoughtful, non-technical discussions of their work.
