Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Ryman, Robert (signiert / inscribed copy) (illustrator). Erste Ausgabe. 2 Blatt, 128 S., 1 Blatt. Etwas größerer schwarzer Orig.-Lederband mit goldgeprägtem Deckel- und Rückentitel in mit grauem Samt ausgeschlagenen Orig.-Leinenkasten. Eins von 550 numerierten Exemplaren, deren Impressum von Samuel Beckett und Robert Ryman eigenhändig signiert wurde: "This edition consists of five hundred and fifty copies. Typset in English Monotype Bodoni at Golgonooza Letterfoundry with new descending characters from punches cut by Daniel Carr. The display type is Bauer Bodoni. The text was printed at The Shagbark Press on a paper made at Cartiere Enrico Magnani. The etchings were printed on arches at Wingate Studio and Renaissance Press. The design is by Benjamin Shiff. Copy number 459." "Die drei kurzen Texte 'Company', Ill Seen, Ill Said' und "Worstward Ho' des Schriftstellers Samuel Becket erschienen erstmalig Anfang der achtziger Jahre. Unter dem Titel 'Nohow On' zusammengefaßt und mit sechs Radierungen des 'Malers der weißen Quadrate' versehen, kamen sie 1989 bei der amerikanischen Bibliophilen-Gesellschaft 'The Limited Editions Club' heraus. Die von Ryman bevorzugte äußerste Sparsamkeit der künstlerischen Mittel zeigt Verwandtschaft mit der späten Sprache des Dichters Beckett, der sie fast bis zur Grenze des Schweigens löscht" (Papiergesänge 161). "Robert Ryman brings to this edition one of the most singular explorations in the visual arts. Staying within his strict field of expression he has focused on a necessary and inevitable element of modernism. His process is one of distillation and the miracle of these works is the essence of the moment captured in context with Beckett's prose. The images are firmly anchored in Beckett's text; to discover them is a breathtaking experience the committed reader will appreciate. The discovery of something profound in seeming nothingness, a metaphysical exploration of consciousness. The pages of this book are both intimate and monumental. They are extremely clean typographically so as not to interfere with the text, while the typeface, leading, and margins combine to give space and breath within a small format" (From the enclosed sheet of The Limited Editions Club). Der Leinenkasten am Rücken minimal aufgehellt, sonst schönes, nahezu neuwertiges Exemplar in einwandfreiem Zustand. Signatur des Verfassers.

Company is about old age, about childhood, young love and parental memories. Ultimately, the narrator realizes that all the voices are his own invention, created to keep him company. Ill Seen Ill Said concerns an old woman living in a ghostly cabin who can sometimes be seen, sometimes not. The God of Genesis is very much involved. Worstword Ho is Beckett's modern equivalent of The Tempest. He literally becomes Prospero--or God-- bringing life into being. Nohow On-- the title for the trilogy- is paradoxical. "Nohow" is the situation all of us confront every day. "On" suggests hope. In any event, we must go "on." Robert Ryman's six aquatints, firmly anchored in Beckett's text, invite the viewer to find something profound in seeming nothingness. By being able to discern anything, even the most delicate "white space next" to another, we are able to discover something." (From the publisher). LEC Bibliography. HBS 69338. $2,000. Signed.
