Free “Poems and Pictures” features books, paintings, collages, periodicals, and ephemera that explore fundamental relationships between: form and content; seeing and reading; writing and drawing; and the extraordinary occasions when these things and activities fuse. This exhibition was previously mounted at the New York Center for the Book, among other venues.
Poets, artists and collaborators include Wallace Berman, Joe Brainard, Robert Creeley, Jim Dine, Johanna Drucker, Philip Guston, Joanne Kyger, Emily McVarish, Karen Randall, Larry Rivers and George Schneeman. Together they share the common objective of bringing bold new writing into print where commercial presses fear to tread, and to do so with flair, imagination and intelligence.
