MANIFESTO SENT BY CROWLEY TO THE PARIS NEWSPAPERS Paris, France circa 5 November 1913
IN THE NAME OF THE LIBERTY OF ART
The Artist has the right to create what he wants!
The fine monument of Oscar Wilde in Père Lachaise, masteriece of sculptor Jacob Epstein, already mutilated and degraded by order of the Prefect of the Seine, remains veiled.
At midday, next Wednesday November 5, Monsieur Aleister Crowley, the Irish poet, will unveil it.
Come to him and offer your aid and sympathy, come to protest against the prudish and pornophile tyranny of the bourgeois, come to affirm the Artist's right to create what he wants.
Meet at the Cemetery of Père Lachaise, before the monument to Oscar Wilde, at midday, Wednesday, November 5.
