"What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? René Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction. Foucault's brief but extraordinarily rich essay offers a startling, highly provocative view of a painter whose influence and popularity continue to grow unchecked. This book also throws a new, piquantly dancing light on Foucault himself." (From the Publishers). Dust-jacket, binding and interior in overall very good condition.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 80 pages. Published in 1983. The author's book-length account on subject. One of Michel Foucault's finest - and most underrated - achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. First issued in 1983, one year before his sudden and still-mysterious death, as a Quantum Book, and remains the single most important title of the legendary Series. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Michel Foucault's "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" in a felicitous English translation by James Harkness. A richly speculative meditation on the relation, that is, the separation between representation and reality. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates of the eponymous painting and many other works by Rene Magritte and his Surrealist coevals. A slim, accessible volume that can be read in one sitting, it is Foucault's most intriguing and inquisitive appraisal of art since his tour-de-force analysis of Velasquez's "Las Meninas". "What does it mean to write, 'This is not a pipe', across a literal painting of a pipe? Rene Magritte's celebrated canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by Michel Foucault. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction, confronting them and within a common system, a figure at once opposed and complementary. Offers a startling, highly provocative view of a painter whose influence and popularity continue to grow unchecked" (Publisher's blurb). "Interrogates the formal nature of representation. Incisive in separating the image from the text, the resemblance from the original. Includes reflections on Klee, Kandinsky, and Apollinaire" (Steiner). An absolute "must-have" title for Michel Foucault collectors. This title is a classic text. This is one of few copies of the 1983 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. We have not seen a more beautiful copy of this gem. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are many. Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. A fine copy.
