What a Life! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732350694)

On August 17 1911-seven years before Max Ernst took up scissors and paste to create his early Dada art-WHAT A LIFE was published in London by Methuen & Co. The authors, Edward Verrall Lucas (a travel writer) and George Morrow (an illustrator and regular contributor to PUNCH), produced their satirical autobiography using illustrations cut from the pages of Whiteley's General Catalogue. This inspired act of artistic vandalism was a precursor to many works of avant-garde art and satire. Black Scat Books brings this sublime work back to life in its Absurdist Texts & Documents series.
