Santomaso, Giuseppe

Moderne Literatur und Kunst – Eines von 120 nummerierten Exemplaren der Normalausgabe auf Vélin de Rives (Gesamtau- flage 200). - Im Druckvermerk vom Künstler und Autor signiert. - Die Original-Schallplatte mit einer Lesung des Dichters. - Unbeschnittenes, frisches Exemplar. Der Schuber minimal fleckig. - Eines der bedeutenden Künstlerbücher der Erker Presse: Ezra Pounds Text wurde nach seiner Handschrift lithographiert und mit sieben von Giuseppe Santomaso signierten Farblithographien verbunden; die Schallplatte ergänzt das Werk um eine akustische Komponente. Die Ausgabe erschien 1972 in einer Auflage von 200 nummerierten Exemplaren. Santomaso (1907–1990), einer der wichtigsten italienischen Maler der Nachkriegsavantgarde, arbeitete wiederholt mit der Erker Presse in St. Gallen zusammen; seine abstrakten, farblich konzentrierten Lithographien treten hier in einen engen Dialog mit Pounds Dichtung.

St. Gallen, Erker Presse, 1972. 8, 1 blank, 6 leaves. Loose sheets in original cover. Folio. Original linen covers with blind-stamped title on the spine and original linen slipcase. - One of Erker Presse’s most significant artist’s books: Ezra Pound’s text was lithographed from his handwritten manuscript and combined with seven color lithographs signed by Giuseppe Santomaso; the record adds an acoustic component to the work. The edition was published in 1972 in a run of 200 numbered copies. Santomaso (1907–1990), one of the most important Italian painters of the postwar avant-garde, collaborated repeatedly with the Erker Presse in St. Gallen; his abstract, color-intensive lithographs enter into a close dialogue with Pound’s poetry here.
