Title: Catalogue Illustré de L'Exposition des Arts Incohérents Author: Place: Paris Publisher: E. Bernard et Cie Date: 1884 Description: [xii], 163, [1], xv, [1] pp. 102 black & white illustrations, plus two photo plates on pale rose paper. (8vo) original stiff blue wrappers. First Edition. The Incoherents was an artist group formed as an ironic counterpoint to the serious, academic movements of the late 19th century. Founded in 1882 by the artist Jules Lévy the group subscribed to the made-up concept of "le arts incohérents": their earliest exhibition was "drawings by people who can't draw." What was conceived as a hoax, however, achieved extraordinary renown, as their first show was attended by Renoir, Pissarro, Manet and even Richard Wagner Many of the "crazy" and "wild" works that the Incoherents presented can now be seen as extremely early precursors to dadaism, surrealism and other avant-garde 20th-century styles. Lot Amendments Condition: Spine leaning; light foxing; very good. Item number: 242291
