Neuware - Joseph Nechvatal's epic passion poem, Destroyer of Naivetes, takes up a position of excess from within a society that believes that the less you conceal, the stranger you become. We live and love in a culture where surveillance/intrusion is tied to our drive for self-revealing everything (an anti-private-life culture of curiosity, egotism, solitude, fear, voyeurism, exhibitionism and resentment - where the feeling is that nothing could or should remain unknown to us).The sex farce poetic overindulgence of Destroyer of Naivetes takes inspiration from the books of Jean Genet, Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, drawings by Hans Bellmer, film/performances of Bradley Eros, and the erotic scribblings of Giacomo Casanova, Georges Bataille, Petronius, Vladimir Nabokov, Marquis de Sade, Yukio Mishima, Ovid, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Kathy Acker and I Am a Beautiful Monster by Francis Picabia.

Limited to 400 numbered copies sur velin de rives paper of the artist's first book. Cecile Reims, a French-Jewish artist, was born in Paris in 1927. Following the occupation of France, she joined the Jewish combat organization in 1943, and at the conclusion of the war, in 1945, she discovered that her entire family had been massacred. Jean-Noel Jeannerey, President of the French National LIbrary, stated the following, at the opening of the French National Library exhibit "Cecile Reims, Engraver" (at the Louvre in 2004): "When she was very young, her energy was forged in France in the Resistance movement, then in Palestine- but shortly thereafter, health deficiencies forced her to take up less. intense strenuous combats, in the field of art. Initiated in burin engraving in Paris by Joseph Hecht, a rigorous master, she produced over 60 original works between 1950 and 1960, which attracted much attention. Her encounter with Hans Bellmer afterwards was decisive. No one can deny that her work contributed greatly to extending the universal success of Bellmer. In the same way, after 1971, she worked with many drawings by her husband, Fred Deus, and by Leonor Fini. For the past few years she is once again doing engravings based on her own compositions. Her talent as an interpreter, first secretly, then revealed, ties her to a splendid tradition. Her own talent as an inventor, showing both virtuosity and elegance, deserves being acknowledged." *Psaumes* (1951) is her first published work, following her first exhibition at the Le Fanal Gallery. Later in the same year the Bezalel Museum in Jerusalem presented her first exhibit of engravings. Uncommon. OCLC locates five holdings.
