Description
The Decadence of the Nude presents the work of French author and artist Pierre Klossowski. Among the themes explored are the artist's political and moral responsibilities, the interdependence of the sacred and the profane in his work, and the power of the imagination used in modern societies that have witnessed the 'death of God'. Included in this volume are essays by Maurice Blanchot (who examines the artist's fiction) and Pierre Klossowski, and a critical introduction by Alyce Mahon.Tags
