Information
Paris, Galerie Simon, 1921. In 4° 330 x 230 mm. First printed edition of the famous text, containing 3 cubist woodcut engravings by Georges Braque, original paperback and vellum preserved, defects and tears. Copy no. 77 of 112 printed, this one on papier de Hollande. ENRICHED BY A DEDICATION WITH A DRAWING IN THE EARLY LIGHT BY BRAQUE TO SKIRA, dated 30 March 1946 .
An important and rare book, containing Braque's first original illustrations and a typical example of Kahnweiler's genius as an editor. Cubist books have become rare in the wake of recent scholarship that has elevated this short-lived experimental movement to a place of great importance in the history of modern art. These woodcuts are important examples of post-war Cubist graphic art and show Braque's relaxation from the rigorous discipline of form and color of the early Cubists. The book is particularly effective with Satie's music for the dance.
