Paris: Collection PSI, 1969. Octavo (22 × 14 cm). Original printed wrappers; [8] pp. of text, [15] leaves of plates, [4] pp. of text, loosely inserted in photographically illustrated boards.

Description:
Stockholm: Holger Schildt, 1929 (printed in Helsinki by F. Tilgmann). Octavo (19.5 × 16.5 cm). Original photo-illustrated wrappers; 231, [1] pp. Twelve black-and-white photographs, a few full-page. Old creases to spine; front wrapper lightly creased and sun-tanned along spine; else about very good. First edition of this key work of the Finno-Swedish literary avant-garde, which was chiefly represented by Hagar Olsson (1893-1978) and the poet Elmer Diktonius. Olsson's work was situated in the tradition of symbolism and expressionism, and urged a spiritual revolution in both the arts and social life. Her writing was marked by a high level of stylistic and formal innovation, such as irregular rhythm, experimental structures, grammatical fragmentation, and contrasting images. She was also an important conduit of futurist and modernist ideas, and a generally cosmopolitan and internationalist outlook, to Finland in the 1920s.

Description:
42 pp. compendium of poems by noted figures including Koshiro Onchi, who also designed the book and its layout, accompanied by 8 reproductions of photographs by the noted avant-garde photographer Katsuji Fukuda (1899-1991) mostly showing images of the female nude. 4to. Stiff printed and illustrated wrpps., sl. shaken. Tokyo (Fugaku Honsha) 1947. A rare and important work and a collaborative effort by noted cultural figures in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. Onchi was a leading book designer in Japan, responsible for some 1000 titles in his long career, as well as a noted photographer, printmaker, and poet. Fukuda's images, some of which present the female nude as abstraction, offer serenity in the midst of the cultural unease of the time. As of Juen 2015, WorldCat locates only one copy of this work worldwide.

Léonard Misonne (1870-1943) was an important Belgian pictorialist photographer best known for his atmospheric landscapes and street scenes, and was nicknamed the "Corot of photography". According to the Directory of Belgian Photographers, "Misonne's work is characterised by a masterly treatment of light and atmospheric conditions. His images express poetic qualities, but sometimes slip into an anecdotal sentimentality." He experimented with many different lighting techniques and processes to achieve his intented results, such as the Fresson processes, bromoil or oil printing, and his own… Read More
