Item description from seller

Printed foolscap sheet. Luis Ângelo Pinto, Décio Pignatari, Two Visual Poems, Fred Hunter, London, c.1965. 204x331 mm. Cream-coloured sheets printed offset-lithograph in black on rectos only, reproducing two visual poems. Both of these works have a Lexical Key, Pinto's poem involving shapes that say either 'yes' or 'no' and Pignatari's shapes say either 'now!' 'perhaps' or 'never!'. First published in Brazil as part of the manifesto on semiotic poetry by Pinto and Pignatari , Sao Paulo, 1964. The work by these two Brazilian poets is reminiscent of the style of the Poemo Processo movement (which began in 1967). An example of Pinto's Semiotic poetry was published in the catalogue of the first Concrete Poetry International exhibition in the United Kingdom in November 1964 (Cambridge). Fred Hunter published the British Concrete poet's John Sharkey's first book and also was considering other Concrete Poetry publications, but in fact moved towards more sound poetry-based releases. These sample prints were never realised as a publication, no editiion size given, thought to be less than 50 copies printed. Condition: light creasing to top left corner, otherwise fine. Overall: Very good +.…
