ABSTRACT
This chapter offers a fresh analysis of the multi-art processes at play between Satie's music and text which is interpreted in dialogue with Martin's images. There are many components to interpret and questions regarding how Satie related to the 1914 images, let alone the reproduced 1922 images. The chapter appreciates the interart nature of this work, the spectator must search the piece to become aware of its many attributes. A view of Sports as a thinkable event resonates with the interart aesthetic that asserts one thing in terms of another and presents art as an object for digestion. It resonates with Satie's preface and supports Apollinaire's concept of simultanism. Sports et divertissements offers a title worthy of a fashion magazine and brings with it a new element in the form of its musical contribution, making for a unique edition on the one hand and an artistic document to challenge the interart aesthetic on the other.
