{"product_id":"brendan-greaves-dream-the-rest-9781300178170","title":"\"Dream the Rest\"","description":"Little is known about enigmatic Cuban American cigarmaker and artist Felipe Jesus Consalvos (1891-c. 1960), whose over 800 collages were discovered at a West Philadelphia garage sale in 1983. This manuscript examines Consalvos's collage practice by speculatively tracking its orbit within a constellation of enmeshed contexts: the radical sociopolitical world of Cuban American tabaqueros; the fraught history of U.S.-Cuban relations and associated processes of cultural appropriation and hybridization; the rise of collage as a recursive development within both vernacular and elite or academic expressive culture; Consalvos's potential positioning within the aligned discourses of contemporaneous Euro-American modernist art and poetry (especially Dada, Surrealism, and Pop); the artist's self-declared role as \"healer\"; and the machinations of the contemporary North American art market.","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53814309552470,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/brendan-greaves-dream-the-rest-9781300178170","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
