Artists around the world have lately been turning to their bookshelves for more than just a good read, opting to cut, paint, carve, stitch or otherwise transform the printed page into whole new beautiful, thought-provoking works of art. Art Made from Books is the definitive guide to this compelling art form, showcasing groundbreaking work by today's most showstopping practitioners.

This volume explores the creative transformation which shook the foundations of European culture during the first four decades of the twentieth century;a revolution which encompassed fields as wide-ranging as visual art, theatre, literature, photography, design, music, and architecture. Breaking the Rules brings these distinct movements together for the first time in order to explore the rich tradition of exploiting the printed medium that helped to define the creative change of the age;and foster our contemporary understanding of avant-garde culture. Breaking the Rules draws upon the British Library's unrivaled collection of artists' books, manifestos, little magazines, literary manuscripts, sound recordings, and posters from across Europe in order to explore the rapid exchange of ideas through printed matter that marked the avant-garde movement.
