George BAKER - The Artwork Caught by the Tail: Francis Picabia and Dada in Paris

The artist Francis Picabia--notorious dandy, bon vivant, painter, poet, filmmaker, and polemicist--has emerged as the Dadaist with postmodern appeal, and one of the most enigmatic forces behind the enigma that was Dada.

David HOPKINS - Dada's Boys: Masculinity after Duchamp

In this provocative and stimulating book, David Hopkins addresses the homosocial structures in Dada and Surrealist art with an eye to their relevance to current artistic and theoretical debate. Bestriding the book is the pivotal figure of the artist Marcel Duchamp, who was at the center of various groups of artistic and literary figures —predominantly male— in Europe and America.

Alice Goldfarb MARQUIS - Marcel Duchamp: the Bachelor Stripped Bare
Without discrediting Duchamp or previous Duchamp scholarship, the author doesn't take his Olympian stature at face value either. Despite statements like "Duchamp's art, like tripe, is an acquired taste" the reader will appreciate the previously unpublished interviews, letters, and bits of gossip contained here. A controversial biography but a noteworthy addition to Duchamp scholarship and a very good read.

Francis PICABIA (Author) and Marc LOWENTHAL (Translator) - I Am a Beautiful Monster: Poetry, Prose, and Provocation
Poet, painter, self-described funny guy, idiot, failure, pickpocket, and anti-artist par excellence, Francis Picabia was a defining figure in the Dada movement; indeed, Andre Breton called Picabia one of the only "true" Dadas. Yet very little of Picabia's poetry and prose has been translated into English, and his literary experiments have never been the subject of close critical study. I Am a Beautiful Monster is the first definitive edition in English of Picabia's writings, gathering a sizable array of Picabia's poetry and prose and, most importantly, providing a critical context for it with an extensive introduction and detailed notes by the translator.
