About This Item
Munich: Kurt Wolff Verlag, 1920. First edition. Very good plus.. Second year (in a single bound volume) of the Expressionist journal of the visual and literary arts, with the scarce original lithographs and woodcuts by Masereel and others. The second two-book volume of the ambitious and influential Expressionist annual, founded by Heise and Mardersteig, who met as university students. To satisfy publisher Kurt Wolff, half of each volume was dedicated to "poetry and humanity", the remainder given over to contemporary visual art and critical reaction. Among the contributors to this lavishly illustrated second volume are Rabindranath Tagore, Franz Werfel, Anatole France; Nele van de Velde, Ernst Bloch, and Ernst Josephson; plates include original lithographs and woodcuts by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Frans Masereel, Max Kaus, Georg Erlich, Erich Heckel, and André Rouveyre. 14'' x 10.5''. Quarter vellum with gilt-stamped red paper boards, red and gilt paper label mounted to spine. Plates in color and black and white tipped in to both volumes; all plates present and corresponding to index, including original prints. 332 pages. Moderate edgewear to boards. Faint foxing to endpapers; previous owner's name in pen to title page.
