Writings of Art

Marius de Zayas brings together a series of texts and essays published by the Mexican writer, critic, cartoonist, gallerist and curator, Marius de Zayas (1880-1961) in three very distinct magazines: America, Camera Work and 291; and in two small books, one published by Alfred Stieglitz's gallery and the other by The Modern Gallery. A century after its publication, these writings on art gathered for the first time in a single volume and are accompanied by an introductory study and a series of annotations written by Antonio Saborit, who has devoted himself to researching the life and work of Marius de Zayas, an essential figure in the history of modern Western art.
