Brut: Writings on Art & Artists by Harold Jaffe (English) Paperback Book

Description: Brut by Harold Jaffe BRUT is a collection of creative essays on contemporary art and artists. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Harold Jaffe is well-known for his docufiction, which is at once personal and detached, serious and satirical, familiar and esoteric. He has been recognized for pinpointing and even aestheticizing the media pathology that informs and increasingly determines our daily lives. In BRUT, Jaffe addresses an extraordinary range of films, writers, painters, philosophers, and "outsider" artists, each with the brevity, clarity, and dramatic understatement that typify his prose. Nina Simone, Marlon Brando, Albert Camus, the Black Panthers, Angela Davis, Jean Genet, Sylvia Plath, Clarice Lispector, Dick Gregory, James Baldwin, Simone de Beauvoir, Mark Rothko, Alberto Giacometti, William Blake, Greta Thunberg, Frantz Fanon, Antonin Artaud, Man Ray, Dada, Che Guevara, John Coltrane, Pasolini ... in every instance, it is not just the mind of the artist, but the heart-mind, the felt passion, that Jaffe teases out of his subject with uncanny nuance. Review "Jaffe reads like an angel with horns. A shamanic recorder of brut(al) times, with hope to keep us turning the page and fire to activate our strongest selves. I love him, this book, these writings." --STEPHEN D. GUTIERREZ "Harold Jaffes BRUT could not be timelier. The book broadcasts the vision of a master conjurer--a writer who sees through walls, who dismantles both assumed truths and false truths, who celebrates the dialectic of creation and destruction that is the authentic act of imagination. Jaffes selection of artists is impeccable; his brief biographical vignettes are not just illuminating, but revolutionary." --LARRY FONDATION Long Description Harold Jaffe is well-known for his docufiction, which is at once personal and detached, serious and satirical, familiar and esoteric.
