Adrian Henri
"Painter, poet, performance artist and musician, Adrian Henri (1932-2000) wanted "everything to happen". His early Pop paintings and poems incorporated urban imagery, advertising slogans, traffic signs or stuffed birds crucified on broken bicycle wheels. A pioneer of Performance Art, he brought together poets, musicians and visual artists in the first UK happenings, whilst also performing his work with Beat groups, making poetry part of pop youth culture. He came to prominence alongside Roger McGough and Brian Patten in The Mersey Sound (Penguin, 1967), one of the best-selling poetry anthologies of all time ... While focusing on Adrian Henri's work as a performer in the 1960s, this book highlights his role in connecting the countercultural art, poetry and music scenes in Britain and internationally"--Back cover
Adrian Henri: Total Artist
"Adrian Henri (1932-2000) was a painter, poet, musician and a pioneer of happenings and events in Britain. This book covers his work from the 1960s and 1970s -- when it was at its most radical, irreverent, innovative and collaborative -- through paintings, collages, prints, artefacts and ephemera, rock posters, annotated scripts, correspondence and other rare archive material. While concentrating on Henri's work in different media, 'Total artist' captures some of the excitement and dynamics of the 1960s and 1970s art scenes in Britain and internationally. It places Henri at the centre of a distinctive yet highly connected counter-culture, providing an opportunity to consider his embrace of total art as a template for interdisciplinary art practice"--Publisher's website.
Adrian Henri

A Gallery to Play to
In the summer of 1967, Tony Richardson of Penguin Books took a chance. Then Penguin’s poetry editor, Richardson devoted the tenth volume of the highly prestigious Penguin Modern Poets series to three unknown writers from Liverpool: Adrian Henri, Roger McGough, and Brian Patten. Little did anyone anticipate that the book produced, The Mersey Sound, would become one of the best-selling poetry anthologies of all time. A Gallery to Play To is an intimate account of the lives and careers of the three poets featured in that 1967 volume—and with unparalleled access to the lives of Henri, McGough, and Patten, the author has produced an indispensable volume for anyone interested in British poetry, popular culture, and literary society over the last forty years. Originally published in 1999, this revised edition includes new interviews with Patten and McGough, as well as a fully updated text and introduction.
L'art dans l'art
L’art autarcique existe-t-il ? Tout art n’est-il pas un art dans l’art ? À partir d’études sur la littérature anglophone des XIXe et XXe siècles, les auteurs de ce volume s’interrogent sur les différents modes de présence d’un art dans un autre : citation, montage, appropriation, greffes, etc. Parmi les formes d’interaction examinées : le tableau dans le tableau, la photographie et la musique dans l’écriture, l’architecture et la sculpture dans le roman, le poétique travaillé par le pictural, les résonances littéraires, picturales ou théâtrales de l’art cinématographique

Gladsongs and Gatherings
With the ‘Liverpool Scene’, poetry registered nationally as a popular art form arguably for the first time. Since then, poetry appears to have contracted once more to its metropolitan, literary heartland. So what happened to the ‘Mersey sound’? Gladsongs and Gatherings examines this question through the ideas and reflections of poets and poetry readers. The book includes interviews with the famous 60s trio, and places their experience alongside that of contemporary poets who continue to find the city a rich source of inspiration.
