54518Coimbra: Ediçoes Presença 1934. Octavo 23.1 × 16.6 cm. Original pictorial self-wrappers; 15 1 pp. With two photomontages by Pereira. Occasionally with tiny stains; Fold slightly damaged; else very good. First edition of the rare poetry collection by the artist Júlio Maria dos Reis Pereira 1902-1983 published by the journal "Presença" which was central to the Portuguese avant-garde "Segundo Modernismo". The periodical was founded and edited by Pereira's brother José Régio among others. " Not only was 'Presença' an experimental and innovative publication in terms of typography and art but above all in literary terms. Poems by Fernando Pessoa who was not so well known during his lifetime and is now considered one of the most important poets in the Portuguese language were published here for the first time. When Pessoa died in 1935 "Presença" printed a special issue in his honor with tributes and excerpts from Pessoa's letters. However the journal not only provided a forum for the avant-gardes of its own tongue but also promoted experimental exchange across borders: texts by Proust Gide Joyce Valéry and contemporary Brazilian authors were made accessible to the Portuguese public for the first time in many cases. Furthermore the journal ensured that the earlier Orplieu generation was firmly established in the canon of Portuguese modernism. Saúl Dias i.e. Pereira was one of the protagonists of this milieu although his poetry has remained largely unknown to this day. He became well-known after studying engineering primarily through his socially critical paintings which are sometimes reminiscent of Max Beckmann and George Grosz. With his brother however it was the other way around. He also painted and drew but became known as a playwright poet and novelist. Cf. Gerhard Wild Kindler Kompakt: Portugiesische Literatur 20 Jahrhundert Heidelberg 2015 pp. 16-18.<br /> <br /> As of August 2024 OCLC lists only two copies in North America. unknown
