About This Item
Big Sur: Henry Miller and Bezalel Schatz, 1947. Schatz, Bezalel. A visual riot of a book, printed totally in serigraph in bright colors. The text is derived from Henry Miller's Black Spring, and is presented in Miller's hand. The pages of text are interleaved with vividly colored images by Bezalal Schatz which also creep into some of the pages of text. These images range from small accent pieces to roaring two page spreads. One of 800 copies, although there is some doubt about how many copies have survived the rodents in Miller's basement. Signed by author and artist, cloth bound with serigraph printed on the binding and the vaunted bit of red felt is glued to the front. Book is in fine condition.The slipcase, while sound and visually presentable, may well have been a survivor of the attentions of Miller's gang of mice--there are a few minor stains and a couple of small rubbed spots. The spine of the case bears a small clear tape with the number (313) of this copy.
