Cut-Outs and Cut-Ups

'Cut-Outs and Cut-Ups: Hans Christian Andersen and William Seward Burroughs'

Edited by Hendel Teicher

Another cool book I found in the library. I think it may have been based on an exhibition that took place at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. It showcased the artwork of each of these writers alongside one another.

It's an interesting comparison because they are from different countries and periods of history, and yet both used cut-ups, scissors, collage, amongst other things within their visual art. Some of the aesthetic similarities are also fun to see, and I think it's just a really lovely book on a niche subject.
