'Art' is a profound and hilarious comedy about the value of truth and friendship.My friend Serge has bought a painting.It's a canvas about five foot by four: white. The background is white and, if you screw up your eyes, you can make out some fine white diagonal lines.Serge is one of my oldest friends.Serge has bought a modern work of art for a large sum of money. Marc hates the painting and cannot believe that a friend of his could feel differently. Yvan attempts to placate both sides, with hilarious consequences. The question is: Are you who you think you are, or are you who your friends think you are?'Art' premiered in this translation at Wyndham's Theatre, London, 1996. It won Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy, and New York Drama Critics' Circle and Tony Awards for Best Play.'A remarkably wise, witty and intelligent comedy. "Art" has touched a universal nerve.' The Times'"Art" not only brings to the stage a topical debate, it makes it invigorating, touching and finally disturbing. This dark comedy, translated from the French by Christopher Hampton in sparkling form, explores its themes through a rift between friends.' Financial Times

This fifth volume of Leon Breaux's poetry, written from 1992-3, has a sort of detached aesthetic and philosophical vibe, hence the name Art. More directly personal themes build in the next volume, Clear. You might call this volume relatively contemplative and cerebral. The language, while not sacrificing expression, has a more worked and careful quality serving a poetic aesthetic than perhaps other volumes by the poet, which may serve more for accurate expression and communication of felt passion.

As the title suggests, we are here addressing the most fundamental questions: Who is man? What is art? What is the bond that unites man, nature and art? The argument at the heart of this book is that what should be common to all men and women-a natural affinity with the sacred that holds out the promise of spiritual experience in everyday life- is in fact made all but impossible by the very nature of modern society. For what the modern world has set in place is nothing other than a pattern of life that prevents us from being what we truly are. The destruction of man that is part and parcel of the scientific, industrial view of our destiny cannot do otherwise than in turn destroy those values and meanings that have always been the bedrock of normal human existence. At a time when the inadequacy of modernism has become apparent, the author returns to the challenge of the English radical tradition of thought (Blake, Cobbett, Carlyle, Ruskin, Morris, Gill and others), with its critique of the industrial-now post-industrial-way of life. Through a series of highly original studies of several major English artists and craftsman, and by addressing key themes that relate to the spiritual, cultural and environmental crisis that now confronts us, the author offers a positive development of the radical perspective. Can modern man survive the process of self-mutilation he has embarked upon? In this unique study of our present predicament, the author suggests we cannot do so by turning our back on the perennial wisdom that has always informed the wisest philosophies of life, with their intuition of the sacred nature of reality.

"Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider."-Ralph Waldo Emerson, ArtIn Art (1841) Emerson discusses the dual role of art in the human experience, providing opportunities for every individual to express themselves and giving all who choose it a medium to speak to everyone. In his essay, he also expresses an admiration for the universal nature of the experiences art offers.
