Sherrie Levine
Flaubert, un Coeur Simple
Gent, Belgium: Imschoot, Uitgevers. 1990

Synopsis: Appropriation artist Sherrie Levine applies her touch to this edition of Gustave Flaubert's Un Coeur Simple. After choosing a typeface and layout for the original text and cover, Levine affixes her own name smartly as the creator of this book. By affirming the fluid authorship of an creation, Levine approaches the implications of a statement by Flaubert, which reads "In the ideal I have of Art, I think that one must not show one's own...Man is nothing, the work of art everything."
