About this Item

London; Hamish Hamilton, 1963. First edition. 22,5x14,5 cm. xiii, (1 blank), 266 pp. Publisher's boards with printed dustjacket. Jacket design by Patricia Davey. Price-clipped. Top portion of the jacket is slightly toned, and there are a few insignificant stains on rear panel. A fine copy. "In publishing this, I am conscious that it is a book which leads in many directions which might have been followed. For example, there are many manifestos by imagists, expressionists, futurists, surrealists, and so on, together with many articles in 'little' magazines which form part of an immense documentation of modern art In writing these loosely connected chapters, I have been haunted all the time by another book, an authoritative, extensive survey which could be written. My book contains some of the thoughts one might have when reading such a survey." (Introduction). From the library of Swedish collector Gunnar Larsson-Leander (1918-2020), professor of astronomy.
