About This Item
Prague: SVU Manes-Melantrich, 1948 Quarto 34.5 x 25.2 cm, decorated boards, 176pp. The first major study of Hoffmeister, a fine draftsman and caricaturist as well as an accomplished artist, who was a key player in the publishing and art worlds. Both he and Josef Lada set the tone for graphic and book illustration from the early 1930s well into the 1970s. Caricature was his strong point through 1950s, whereafter he focused primarily on collage, achieving masterful results in both areas. Anyone of note, artists, poets, writers and politicians came under the play of his hand, and he designed many of the covers for journals such as Rospravy Aventina and Teige's DOBA. Particularly interesting are his portraits of the major avant-garde luminaries. This copy very good, with worn DJ.
