Faust Foutu (Faust Screwed) is a satire featuring a
mid-20th-century Faust as a bourgeois artist "suffering" for his
art. It was first performed by poets and painters in San Francisco
in 1955. The book includes drawings by the poet made to accompany
the printed text. "In the early fifties the art of painting was at
the cutting edge (Clyfford Still, Pollock, Rothko) -- it's not
surprising that this "screwed" Faust is a painter or that a public
reading and performance of the piece should have taken place at San
Francisco's most intensely avant garde art gallery, the Six
Gallery. It's no surprise either that the actors in the
presentation, seated at a long table on a little dais, should be
friends, actors, experimental film-makers, poets, painters, and
playwrights. Poet Jack Spicer leaned towards the audience at
moments with intensity and almost boyish innocence of expression
and near harshness of diction. Larry Jordan, the film-maker, had
been encouraged by Duncan to just sing loudly and naturally letting
his untrained voice carry Faust's songs. Painter, and life-friend
of Duncan's, Jess Collins, spoke his lines with immense clarity and
irony. The play was being tested on the ear, there was no
acting-out as Duncan did in his solo performances, this was to be
heard—and, listen, it's still sounding." -Michael McClure Robert
Duncan's "comic masque" Faust Foutu was first performed
in 1955 and published in a small edition in 1960 with drawings by
the poet, reproduced here in a trade edition.
