A stellar feat of art book publishing in 'Brancusi & Duchamp'

Featured spreads are from Brancusi & Duchamp, an exquisite piece of art book publishing exploring the decades-long friendship and artistic dialogue between these two giants of twentieth-century art. "After cubism, two booming cannon shots were fired around 1913," French writer, art advisor, collector and The Blind Man co-founder Henri-Pierre Roché is quoted by author Paul B. Franklin: "A little smoke was seen, but the twin explosions and two bomb-blast messages—atomic bombs, I say—have yet to register… In my modern atmosphere—where I have lived very simply like a rat in a hole for nearly fifty years…, I have yet to see the long-awaited deflagration of the Brancusi–Duchamp double bomb… To my mind, they inaugurate a new era in art."
