| 説明 | More art on my weblog: uair01.blogspot.com/= = = = =SEVEN SECRET ALPHABETSAnthony Earnshaw A very remarkable book. The replacement of a conventional capital letter at the beginning of a chapter by some kind of visual pun is as old as the illuminated book, but Earnshaw has succeeded in divorcing it from its customary aesthetic role, stripped it of any scene-setting function. His letters, comic or sinister, exist in their own right. Each image hides its secret until it finds its place. Even then it may prove evasive. The alphabets suggest an alternative reality where humour and disaster are interchangeable and the laws which govern nature are bent certainly, but only very little. An imagination in no way forced selects an apparently arbitrary image at a precise moment . . . Letters, those haphazardly invented signs, those abstract shapes we hear as sounds, take on a concrete meaning of their own.Guardian It is fair to say th at the author explores a landscape which suggests Magritte and Monty Python. The humour is austere, bleak and if not black, at least charcoal grey. As a feat of imagination the work is outstanding.The Times Educational Supplement Earnshaw has a devious, allusive, surrealist interest in letters. His imagination is full of wit; each image is a humorous vignette, an unlikely collusion of images in the form of a letter. Such shifting of context is the source of all humour. By providing a main-line to the unconscious and suggesting a revaluation of the essential symbols of which language is constituted, he makes his work compulsive and compulsory viewing.Arts Review JONATHAN CAPE THIRTY BEDFORD SQUARE LONDON by Eric Thacker and Anthony Earnshaw MUSRUM WINTERSOL Corrigendum THE ISBN FOR THE PAPERBACK EDITION OF SEVEN SECRET ALPHABETS BY ANTHONY EARNSHAW SHOULD READ ISBN 022401383 I FIRST PUBLISHED 1972 © 1972 BY ANTHONY EARNSHAW JONATHAN CAPE LTD, 30 BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, WCI ISBN 022400795 5 PRINTED AND BOUND IN GREAT BRITAIN BY W & J MACKAY LIMITED, CHATHAM |
