Mark to cover as shown.<\/p>\n<p\/>Brilliant artist book cited by both Bertolotti and Roth. &#8220;Everything Lucas Samaras has created is to a degree a self-portrait. This book &#8211; autobiographical psychoanalysis, autophoto album, autointerview &#8211; is a unique multimedia portrait of the artist. What he says becomes visible in his photographs, and the photographic images are implicit in his writing. A statement made by Samaras to the critic Lawrence Alloway six years ago provides a few clues to his subtle, devious, poetic contents of his works: &#8216;The manner in which art objects are made are erotic gestures . in the presence of an artistic creation there is a seeming merging of the self with a highly erotic reality called beauty. The eroticism isn&#8217;t connected with life and death or with a partner&#8217;s changing moods it is continuous. AUTOEROTIC. Narcissism is making one&#8217;s body into art.&#8217; Samaras has done just that in this most extraordinary book, which we consider his most important work to date.&#8221; Jean Lipman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1162572810\/81817de2cb?fl=tl&#038;fe=ec\" style=\"color: #666; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See inside<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12851,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12935","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fine-art","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12935"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12935"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
