Klassische Moderne – Koepplin, Giacometti, 127. - Tristan Tzara, Les livres, 7. - Eins von 70 Exemplaren auf Normandy Vellum, im Druckvermerk vom Drucker händisch signiert und nummeriert. Erschienen bei GLM in Paris als 11. Band der Collection "repères". - Avantgardistischer Gedichtband des Dada-Gründers Tristan Tzara (1896-1963), mit fragmentarischen, bildstarken Versen über Natur, Zerstörung und Revolution. Die kongeniale Original-Zeichnung von Alberto Giacometti, hier in satter und konstrastiger lithographischer Wiedergabe, akzentuiert mit asketischen Linien die ramureartigen (astigen) Themen Tzaras Text, einen Meilenstein der Poesie der Moderne. "Ramures" ("Äste" oder "Gehölze") evoziert verzweigte, organische Bilder, die Tzara's Bruch mit reinem Nihilismus der Dada-Zeit widerspiegeln. - Im handgebundenen weißen Halbledereinband aus weißem Ziegenleder mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel und eingelegten farbigen Papiern in Bordeaux und Schwarz (wohl aus dem Umfeld des Buchbinders Pierre-Lucien Martin). Unter Sammler, insbesondere wenn luxuriös gebunden wie hier, hochbegeht. - Wohlerhalten.

Classical Modernism – Lithograph based on an original drawing by Alberto Giacometti. In: Tristan Tzara. Ramures. 1936. Lithograph on sturdy, smoothed vélin. 24.8 x 19 cm. - A magnificent print in rich, high-contrast black. - One of 70 copies on Normandy vellum, hand-signed and numbered by the printer in the colophon. Published by GLM in Paris as the 11th volume of the 'repères' collection. - Avant-garde poetry collection by Dada founder Tristan Tzara (1896-1963), featuring fragmentary, vivid verses on nature, destruction and revolution. The congenial original drawing by Alberto Giacometti, accentuated with ascetic lines, highlights the ramure-like (branch-like) themes of Tzara's text, a milestone in modernist poetry. 'Ramures' ("branches" or 'woodland') evokes branching, organic imagery that reflects Tzara's break with the pure nihilism of the Dada era. - In a hand-bound white half-leather binding of white goatskin with a gold-stamped title on the spine and inlaid coloured papers in burgundy and black (probably from the circle of the bookbinder Pierre-Lucien Martin). Highly prized among collectors, especially when luxuriously bound as here. - In very good condition.
