english description:
Includes 50 color lithographs, mostly double-page in size. Original paperback in a cloth case.
One of 200 copies of the book edition; an additional 32 were not released for sale, and 56 unbound copies were also published. – Imprint signed by the artist. – First English edition of »Hermaphrodito« (1918). – »The travel log and wartime diary of Alberto Savinio during World War I was an ideal text for Clemente, whose works are infused with implied narrative and constant autobiographical overtones. The sensual Kozo Japanese paper and the grand format give the pages the appearance of an album of watercolors. Clemente, who had not worked in lithography before, delighted in experimenting in all the subtleties the medium could offer.« (Robert Flynn Johnson, in: LC). – Raymond Foye served as artistic director of the edition. The original lithographs were drawn between 1983 and January 1986 at the Petersburg Studios in New York and printed by hand at Rolf Neumann’s workshop in Stuttgart on thin Okawara Kozo paper from the Takaokaeishi Mill in Ino-Cho, Kochi, Japan. – The book was also printed in Stuttgart under the direction of Hansjörg Mayer and Elizabeth Mahoney. – Includes the folded insert »Translator’s Note«.
Few minor stains on cassette cover. The book in perfect condition.
