Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing) - printed at the Curwen Press. 4to. viii, 147pp. Blue cloth lettered in gold at the spine. With a colour Picasso-reproduction frontispiece and numerous monochrome plates reproducing works by Fernand Léger, Henry Moore, Alexa…nder Calder, Paul Nash, Kandinsky, Julian Trevelyan, John Piper, Max Ernst, Graham Sutherland, Moholy-Nagy &c. Top edge fractionally spotted, and with just a trace of near-invisible toning to the free endpapers. A pencilled note to the front free endpaper notes this copy as being from the library of art and dance critic Nigel Gosling and his wife Maude. A virtually fine copy in somewhat handled non-price-clipped dust wrapper designed by John Piper, which is toned, spotted, nicked, and chipped with several inches of jagged loss from the upper edge of the front panel, and several smaller fractions of edge- and corner-loss. A significant book containing seventeen essays on art penned by a selection of major twentieth century artists including Henry Moore ('Notes on Sculpture'), Paul Nash ('The Nest of the Wild Stones' and 'Swanage, or Seaside Surrealism'), Julian Trevelyan ('Mythos'), John Piper ('Lost, A Valuable Object' and 'England's Early Sculptors'), Max Ernst ('Inspiration to Order'), Graham Sutherland ('An English Stone Landmark'), Fernand Léger ('Painting and Reality'), Wassily Kandinsky ('Empty Canvas, etc.'), Giorgio de Chirico ('Gustave Coubert'), and Moholy-Nagy (his film scenario 'Once a Chicken, Always a Chicken'). Increasingly uncommon, and more so in the fugitive dust wrapper, although this is perhaps not the best example. Levinson 21.
