The principal text is the first English translation of Roché's novel \u003ci\u003eVictor\u003c\/i\u003e, an account of his friendship with Duchamp (nicknamed Victor by his close friends in those days). Although unfinished, Roché's text offers a unique account of New York Dada, all of whose principal characters and events make an appearance: Francis Picabia, Arthur Cravan, the Arensbergs and their soirées, the Blind Man's Ball and the scandal of Duchamp's \"Fountain\" at the Independents exhibition, a pivotal moment in modern art. The novel offers interesting insights into the sexual politics of the period, when a woman could be arrested or blackmailed for spending the night with a man to whom she was not married. Roché, a lifelong friend of Duchamp, appears to have been something of a devotee of triangular relationships, and went on to write a more famous novel on the topic (also autobiographical), \u003ci\u003eJules et Jim\u003c\/i\u003e--later made into a film by François Truffaut. Beatrice Wood's account of these events is taken from her memoirs; she went on to become a celebrated ceramicist, dying in 1998 aged 105. The introduction and commentary is by Dawn Ades, the well-known scholar of Dada and Surrealism.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Atlas Press","offers":[{"title":"Three New York Dadas and the Blind Man: Marcel Duchamp, Henri-Pierre Roché, Beatrice Wood | Dawn Ades | Hardcover | 9781900565431 | New | Fiction 1605876","offer_id":50674480054530,"sku":"1605876","price":48.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71EnMvDFbYL.jpg?v=1791346425","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/three-new-york-dadas-and-the-blind-man-marcel-duchamp-henri-pierre-roche-beatrice-wood","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
