Philippe Sollers on Picasso and Sade as Revolutionary Figures

In a 1996 interview with artpress, Philippe Sollers discusses his two new books on the Marquis de Sade and Pablo Picasso, noting the frequent recurrence of the word "revolutionary" in both works. He explores the concept of "revolutionary heroes" and "revolutionary subversion," questioning whether one can still speak of revolutionary writers or artists today. The interview was published in the December 1996 issue of artpress magazine.
