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":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55584704495989,"sku":"9781804271537","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781804271537_e2c382e8-f6db-4be6-974a-a35e26f1a1c1.jpg?v=1759680219","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781804271537","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
