Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes
Cappella Books | 1993 | ISBN: 1556522029 | English | 268 pages | PDF | 42.5 MB

This book elucidates, celebrates, enumerates, and sometimes obliterates achievers and achievements in the avant-garde arts. Although it runs from A to Z, it could as easily have been written from Z to A (or in any other order you might imagine) and may be read from front to back, back to front, or point to point. It is opinionated, as all good dictionaries should be, but it is also inclusive, because there can never be just one avant-garde.
