A Lecture to Art Students at SUNY/Purchase New York was first published in 1987 and is written and illustrated by Peter Schumann. This book explores the necessity of puppetry and cheap art within an increasingly corporate landscape. It dives into Schumann's development of the Bread and Puppet Theater, from its origins in New York City to its current home in Glover, Vermont. "Now is the time to use our language, public-address systems, communication tricks and arts to fight these devastating trends, to make our art available to the forces which revolt against these evil empires and horrible insufficient and unjust economic and political systems under which we live."
