Description:
Inner hinge cracked, else a fine copy. One of 40 on Japon Imperial (not to be compared to the ordinary edition). A work by Cappiello, the famous poster artist, with 18 marvelous, richly colored pochoir plates of contemporary actresses in their roles. Two are of Sarah Bernhardt, one in her role as Medea. Other actresses include Réjane, Marcelle Lender, Cecile Sorel, and others. "La Revue Blanche" was an important avant-garde art and literary review which was involved with emerging artistic movements. Cappiello's style marked the culmination of the Belle Époque and the beginning of revolutionary new trends and modern advertising. From the Preface: "Voici un artiste nouveau, une vision des types feminins, une façon neuve de traduire par le crayon et le pinceau l'impresion d'art."

Description:
Paris: Georges Crès Fine copies in original pictorial wrappers preserved in handsome custom clamshell case of black cloth with gilt-lettered spine and front cover in red leather. Vollard has adopted his friend Alfred Jarry's satirical figure, Père Ubu, in these short plays, mocking the absurdity of World War I. Jarry, dead at the age of 34 in 1907, was a link between the 19th century and the early 20th century avant-garde, influencing the Theater of the Absurd, Duchamp, the Surrealists, Rouault, Max Ernst, and William Kentridge. He coined the term and concept of pataphysics: the science and philosophy of the absurd, using irony and whimsey to examine imaginary phenomena and symbolic truths. LE PÈRE UBU À L'HOPITAL. Two copies: Paris: "Cette Petite Tragédie N'est Pas Mise dans le Commerce", 1917, and Paris: Éditions Georges Crès, 1918. Both with cover, frontispiece, and title page vignette (black in 1917 and red in 1918) by Pierre Bonnard. LE PÉRE UBU À L'AVIATION. Paris: Georges Crès. 1918.… Read More
