Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st. 101 pages, illustrations (some colour), portrait; 27 cm. Illustration mounted on front board. An artist's rendition of a still-life appears on the front free endpaper, drawn in the cubist style of Karl Knaths, and in all likelihood an original drawing by Knaths. The binding is sound, but half the… spine's backstrip has chipped-off. *** Karl Knaths (1891-1971) was an early practitioner of Cubism and Expressionism in America, and at mid-century he was one of the most prominent artists associated with Provincetown, Mass. Patronised by collector Duncan Phillips, he was much admired in his day. Size: 4to. Collectible.
