First edition. Small quarto. 124 pages, 67 of which are devoted to the illustrations. This important and scarce anthology focuses on the work of the group collectively known as UNIT ONE, formed early in 1933, and whose members were Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, John Armstrong, John Bigge, Edward Burra, Tristram Hillier, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson, Edward Wadsworth, Wells Coates and Colin Lucas. The book, in effect, serves as a manifesto for their aims. The separate prose contributions by each of the artists (except Burra who is represented by a note on his work by Douglas Cooper) are artistic credos.Contemporary (1936) ownership signature on front free endpaper. Endpapers very slightly spotted. Very good in very good, slightly rubbed, price-clipped dustwrapper faded at the spine and with a couple of small chips.
