[Paris]: Jacques Damase, 1949. 20 cm; 57 pages, and three original drypoint etchings by Wols (Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze) laid in as issued. Edition limited to 450 copies, of which this is #131. Printed on deckle-edged pure rag paper by Johannot. Bound in blue paper wraps with printed title label on upper wrap. Corners and edges understandably frayed; some light toning to stock; text block shaken in wraps. Preserved in custom-made clamshell case, 1/4 cloth over marbled boards, with paper title label.
A rare work with the three plates by Wols (Wolfgang Schulze, 1913-1951), the Art Informel painter and photographer whose short life was complicated by poverty, illness, and alcoholism. Half of Wols output as a printmaker was commissioned for works by Sartre, Tzara and other philosopher friends before his death in 1951. While an edition of 450 copies of Sartre's NOURRITURES was planned, the edition was never completed, and many copies were issued without the drypoint etchings inserted.
