Fifteen drawings incorporating typographic elements. Light dust-soiling and fraying to overlapping wrapper edges; faint owner inscription to front wrapper verso; else about very good. First edition of this work of Futurist poetry by Tytus Czy?ewski (1880-1945), the Polish painter, Futurist poet, playwright, and Colorist. In 1917, together with the brothers Zbigniew and Andrzej Pronaszko, he organized an exhibition of Polish Expressionist works in Kraków, and their group later became known as the Polish Formists (Formisci). They merged various aspects of the European avant-garde including Cubism, Futurism, and Expressionism. Until the group's break-up in 1922, Czy?ewski was their primary artist and theoretician as well as the joint editor of the journal Formisci. The present text is a lyric drama, in which pages of text alternate with concrete drawings (or "paintings") or visual poems, composed of typographic elements, such as bars and circles. The style of this work is described by the author as "Dynamopsycho" or "dynamo-psychic studies of specific moments." The compositions themselves were created by the printer, Frantiszek Benisz, based on drawings by Czy?ewski. In spite of the relatively poor quality of the paper and the simple execution, one of the most striking early books of the Polish avant-garde. "In many of Czy?ewski's poems, there is a Futuro-Dada symbiosis of the primitive and technology; a tendency to connect unconnected images, carried over into other, unexpected contexts; and a tendency to juxtapose religious and mythological symbolism (deprived of its original meaning) with a civilising and erotic symbolism" (Andrzej Turowski, "Parasitism").
