Critical study of Dada and Surrealist use of "words, letters, and numbers in their works [which] altered perceptions of what a painting or an art object could be." Welchman's text looks at the "broader semiotic and structuralist questions surrounding the creation of word-images during this period, analyzing the writings of Rosalind Krauss, Julia Kristeva, and Michael Riffaterre, among others."
