Very nice example. The illustrator, Bernard Brussel-Smith (1914-1989) studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and the New School for Social Research, New York. He taught at the Brooklyn Museum, Cooper Union, City College, and the National Academy. His work was widely exhibited and is in many major art collections. The printer publisher Kurt Hans Volk (1884-1962) was born in Germany, and probably trained as a printer/typographer there. He worked for many years at N.W. Ayers in Philadelphia before starting his own typographic firm in 1927. He widely lectured on advertising typography and authored the important work: "Using Type Correctly." He greatest influence as a designer was probably as a consultant to the Merganthaler Linotype Company. Today he is probably best known for a private series of keepsakes and limited edition books distributed to friends at Christmas. We are pleased to be able to offer one of these here.

New Kazakh Paperback. Large8vo. (20 x 20 cm). In Turkish. [42] p. First and Limited-Numbered Edition: 055/200. 200 copies were printed. Numerous Edition. 055/200. Matem için matem. [= Liberty or love! And mourning for mourning]. Translated by Dilan Kirat. Turkish Edition. Mystery, the marvelous, the city of Paris transmuted by love, and Sanglot the Corsair s pursuit of the siren Louise Lame: these are the essential ingredients of Liberty or Love!, a masterpiece of early Surrealism written by Robert Desnos (1900-1945) and first published in 1924 to immediate acclaim. Characters appear and disappear at whim; they walk underwater and accept the most astounding coincidences with calm nonchalance. This crown jewel of Surrealist eroticism is part hymn to the erotic and part adventure story illumined by the shades of Lautreamont, Jack the Ripper and Sade. Desnos was famously lauded by Andre Breton--in his First Manifesto of Surrealism--for having come closest to the Surrealist truth, and his novel is a dream at once violent and tender--the perfect embodiment, in fact, of the Surrealist spirit: joyful and despairing, and effortlessly scandalous. This new hardback edition also includes Mourning for Mourning, Desnos first book--his own selection of his early stories from the period of sleeping fits and automatic writing.
