Synopsis

This volume traces the evolution of text as an artistic medium, from its early integration with images by artists like El Lissitzky and Kurt Schwitters to its contemporary manifestations. It explores how written language became a defining element in 20th-century visual art, used by avant-garde and Dadaist artists to express anti-art sentiments. The book also examines how conceptual artists such as John Baldessari, Lawrence Weiner, and Bruce Nauman elevated written language to an art form itself, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
