About this Item
Description:
1st edition. Original dramatic color illustrated boards, Small 8vo, 30 + [2] pages. Includes 7 dali-esque illustrations by Kotler. 21 cm. In Yiddish. "Yosl Kotler was a master of the stylized grotesque. He was also an extraordinarily accomplished draftsman, able to stretch, shrink and contort a line into an endless kaleidoscope of forms. Kotler is one of the great American artists of modern times, but has never achieved recognition as such. Perhaps because he worked almost exclusively in the Yiddish-speaking milieu, and mainly among Communist circles. Or because he spread his abundant talents in so many directions, including painting, illustration, cartoons, theater design, poetry, fiction, and puppetry. Kotler was fifteen and an orphan when he arrived in America in 1911. He thrived primarily as an illustrator and puppeteer, teaming up with Zuny Maud, an equally multi-talented fellow Bohemian, to create a cult puppet theater in 1925. Kotler was driving to Hollywood hoping to make a puppet movie when he died in a car crash in 1935. His funeral brought 10, 000 people onto the streets of New York. Author Herman Gold was another extraordinary Lower East Side character, described by memoirist Reuben Iceland as "the weaver of the weirdest, wildest word plays. " In other words, Gold's stories and Kotler's artwork are the perfect match" (Mazower, 2019) . "Andere arbetn fun dem zelbikn shrayber" (Other works by the same author) on page 32. SUBJECT(S) : Yiddish poetry. Edgwear to boards, lacks backstrip, internally very clean, Good Condition Overall (Yid-41-96BA-EXL). Seller Inventory # 41279

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 21,1 x 15,7 cm. 30, [2] pp. Publisher's printed boards. With cover illustration and 7 illustrations in the text by Yosl Kotler (Cutler). Spine and corners slightly worn, one leaf with a tear, otherwise in very good condition. ¶ Yiddish poem by Morris Abraham Katz, illustrated by Yosl Kotler, one of the great American artists of the 20th century. ¶ Morris Abraham Katz (1898-1969) was a Yiddish poet born in Mlyniv (or Mlinov, in present-day Ukraine). In 1913 he emigrated to the USA, where he attended City College, New York. He first wrote in Hebrew, but switched to Yiddish in 1917 and published poems in various Yiddish magazines, often under the pen name "Aleph Katz". For more than 40 years, Katz was editor of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. He published several volumes of poetry, children's books and a play. ¶ In his work Katz often hints at a reality beyond observed phenomena, at a mystic realm which can be best expressed in allegorical symbols (Encyclopaedia Judaica). The present poem is a good case in point: "In this poem, humanity is besieged by hunger, and the great goal is to eradicate it. Two ideological ideas are cleverly disguised, suggesting the road by which to reach the plate from heaven. The illustrations are highly suggestive, and help the reader to interpret the hidden ideas" (Cotsen Library). ¶ The illustrator Yosl Kotler (or Cutler, 1896-1935) was a Yiddish-American illustrator, satirist and poet originally from Troianiv, present-day Ukraine. "Yosl Kotler was a master of the stylized grotesque. He was also an extraordinarily accomplished draftsman, able to stretch, shrink and contort a line into an endless kaleidoscope of forms. Kotler is one of the great American artists of modern times, but has never achieved recognition as such" (David Mazower). ¶ The Noah Cotsen Library of Yiddish Children's Literature, p. 36; for Katz: Encyclopaedia Judaica vol. 12, p. 8; for Kotler: Mazower, Yiddish Illustrations: "From Chagall to Diego Rivera".
