{"product_id":"humument","title":"A Humument","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe final edition of the late Tom Phillips's 'defining masterpiece of postmodernism'.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1966 the artist Tom Phillips discovered \u003ci\u003eA Human Document\u003c\/i\u003e (1892), an obscure Victorian romance by W.H. Mallock, and set himself the task of altering every page, by painting, collage or cut-up techniques, to create an entirely new version. Some of Mallock's original text remains intact and through the illustrated pages the character of Bill Toge, Phillips's anti-hero, and his romantic plight emerges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First published in 1973, \u003ci\u003eA Humument\u003c\/i\u003e - as Phillips titled his altered book - quickly established itself as a cult classic. From that point, the artist worked towards a complete revision of his original, adding new pages in successive editions. That process is now finished. This final edition presents an entirely new and complete version of \u003ci\u003eA Humument\u003c\/i\u003e. It includes a revised Introduction by the late artist, in which he reflects on the 50-year project, and 92 new illustrated pages.","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42523294007332,"sku":"9780500292891","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9780500292891.jpg?v=1778790004","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/humument","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
