About This Item
Splendid, erotic, quasi-surrealist Muzika drawings
Small octavo 13.5 x 9.7 cm, custom ½-calf, 77pp., no. 157 in an edition of 350; Published by Stanislav K. Neumann. A fine little work with five exquisite drawings by František Muzika in a Czech translation with a foreword of the poetry of Martial by Josef Dietrich. Muzika's artwork of this time combines elements of classical and erotic elements with surrealist space (he never formally aligned himself with the surrealist movement). Found in three North American libraries. Very fine artwork in a bibliophile production, in near fine condition.
