Artists Get Textual

It was only at the start of the 20th century that artists began using prose and poetry with paint. The dadaist movement used text as a tool for its anti-art, and later the relationship evolved as pop artists merged letters and numbers with images. Art and Text from Black Dog Publishing looks at how artists—from John Baldessari and René Magritte to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Tracey Emin—have expressed themselves in both images and words.
