{"product_id":"9781804271537","title":"Erik Satie Three Piece Suite - Ian Penman","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposer, pianist and writer Erik Satie was one of the great figures of Belle �poque Paris. Known for his unvarying image of bowler hat, three-piece suit and umbrella, Satie was a surrealist before Surrealism and a conceptual artist before Conceptual Art. Friend of Cocteau and Debussy, Picabia and Picasso, Satie was always a few steps ahead of his peers at the apex of modernism. There's scarcely a turn in postwar music, both classical and popular, that Satie doesn't anticipate. Moving from the variety shows of Montmartre's Le Chat Noir to suburban Arcueil, from the Parisian demi-monde to the artistic avant-garde, cult critic Ian Penman's masterful Erik Satie Three Piece Suite is an exhilarating and playful three-part study of this elusive and endlessly fascinating figure, published to mark the centenary of Satie's death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Penman","offers":[{"title":"224 pages \/ 24\/04\/2025 \/ Biography: arts \u0026 entertainment","offer_id":56970867212663,"sku":"9781804271537","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804271537.jpg?v=1781000520","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804271537","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
