This was a very interesting look at some of Antonin Artaud's art. Being French, an artist, and mentally ill, he is as cool as Rimbaud. Artaud drew most of this work in the 1940s while being hospitalized in a mental asylum. My only problem with the book is that I wanted to see more color drawings by Artaud, which is where he really shines. After the drawings stay tuned to read some interviews conducted by Sylvère Lotringer with Nancy Spero, wife of Leon Golub, Patti Smith, and Kikki Smith. Oh, and Kiki Smith makes some bizarre connections with Artaud's art, self-mutilation, Catholicism, and how all of this deals with the body. Cool stuff
