About This Item
[Cover title : "Les Artistes Musicalistes se Présentent"] Approximately [40] pp. [1] glossy plate in color ; illus. in black and white with texts in French including manifestos and lists of works by member artists. Oblong 8vo. Very good. Saddle stapled silver foil wrappers printed in red, surfaces a bit rubbed and oxidized, but surprisingly bright. [1603]
Catalog for the December 1932 - January 1933 presentation at Galerie de la Renaissance in Paris, including works by Maurice Barret, Gustave Bourgogne, Jean Carlu, Da Silva Bruhns, Arne Hosek, Henri Valensi and others. The book is striking production with dynamic typography and page designs throughout, including an attractive application of Cassandre's "Le Bifur" on the reflective metallic covers. According to our own rough translation the group's manifesto, ""It is clear to everyone that the key characters of the beginning of this century are: the applications of science and generalized dynamism, which bring into their orbit : rhythm, harmony, synthesis, etc., etc... However, the art offering the most, dynamism, rhythm, harmony, science, synthesis... is Music. For this we realize, here, that from the aesthetic point of view, the musical spirit predominates. Thus we demand, "Art must be musicalized"... In reality, this influence of Music has already developed, but unconsciously, in all the arts, among all artists who can say they are 'sensitive and creative', and simultaneously in several countries."
