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.
