Duchamp and Katherine Drier organized the painter's first solo exhibitions in New York in 1920 and 1924 at the Soci t  Anonyme, and suddenly Eilshemius' name was on the lips of influential critics and collectors. Eilshemius himself, frustrated by years of failure, and having grown increasingly eccentric, gave up painting in 1921. Although today many US museums and collectors possess works by Eilshemius, the artist has faded into obscurity. Eilshemius perfectly exemplifies--in the age of biennials and art fairs--the resolute individualist. This massive volume compiles over 500 works, providing the reader with a profound insight into the oeuvre of this unusual artist and examining Eilshemius' influence on Duchamp's artistic thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 x 12.4 x 9.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763439534368,"sku":"9783037644355","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/15749ad135a4def7a918e6aae513000c.webp?v=1780235806","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/louis-michel-eilshemius-peer-of-poet-painters-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
