Cezanne She Was a Great Painter: The Second Book January 1975 Unbroken Words to Women - Sexuality Creativity Language Art Istory.
Tresspuss Press, 1975. Item #3214
Metal-clasp bound in wrappers, 39 numbered pp. Second edition of 500 copies, June 1975.
The book compiles Schneemann’s writings from the 1960s and 70s: letters and unsent letters, fragments from notebooks, manifesto-like statements, and performance scripts – including that from her renowned 1975 piece, Interior Scroll. Though best known for her performances, Schneemann has always identified as a painter, and the title comes from her early interest in Cézanne. She writes, in the book’s introduction: “Around twelve years old I knew a few names of ‘great artists.’ . . . I decided a painter named ‘Cézanne’ would be my mascot; I would assume Cézanne was unquestionably a woman.”
This copy signed on the cover twice by previous owner, artist and writer, Pat Oldenburg [Mucha]. Printed on a variety of colored papers. Very good plus with minor shelf wear.
