Arturo Umberto Samuele Schwarz was an Italian scholar, art historian, poet, writer, lecturer, art consultant and curator of international art exhibitions.
Duchamp was one of the 1st, if not THE 1st artist whose work I encountered who emphasized the primary importance of the IDEA - an emphasis still important to me. Schwarz, & others like him, help set the standards for scholarliness. As such, this bk is one of the most important art bks in my collection. It's full of ideas, interesting images, incisive study.. it's thorough.
