About this Item

Authorized American edition of this early large format P�re Castor book, featuring striking and stylized Art Deco color lithographs by Russian �migr� artist Guertik with dotted lines for children to finish the designs. It was �migr� artists like Guertik, Nathalie Parain, Alexandra Exter, Feodor Rojankowsky, and Georges Cherkessof, working with avant-garde Constructivist, Dadaist, and Minimalist art philosophies, that gave the P�re Castor books their greatest distinction and gained them long-lasting fame. This book first published by Flammarion in 1934. A nice intact copy. 10.5'' x 9.5''. Original side-stapled color pictorial flexible card wrappers. Illustrated by Guertik in color throughout, with "finishing" images intact and unused. [20] pages. Slight edge wear and soiling to wrappers, top front corner bumped. Seller Inventory # 39504
