Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Bilingual ed. In shrinkwrap. A publisher, educator, historian and curator, VladimÃr Birgus is a devoted photographer of the subjective moment. Since the early 1970s he has been capturing people and places in compositions that treat color and tone rigorously but never foreclose on the reading of the image. Something Unspeakable follows him through different cities and everyday encounters, moods, hidden desires and emotions.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Large octavo 21x15 cm., wrappers, 61(4)pp. Cover and book design by Vaclav Zykmund. A colloquium of writings and art by the postwar surrealist group Ra. In the brief era following the liberation and restoration of Czechoslovakia and before the communist takeover, there was an upsurge of experiment and pioneering in the arts and literature. The Ra group was consisted of young surrealists connected with Karel Teige and the journal Kvart in the 1930s. They didn't accept psychic automatism, were more ironic and had a bent for self-parody, and didn't share the self-importance and pretense of the Paris surrealists. These Czech surrealists set the pattern of outsider art that would persist through the communist era. During the war they worked and published underground. This collection brings the principals together, with art, photography and writings both pre- and post-liberation by Josef Istler, Milan Korecek, Ludvik Kundera, Bohdan Lacina, Vilem Reichmann, Václav Tikal and Zykmund among others. An important document of the time, it is uncommon, with only three North American institutional holdings (Yale, MOMA, Getty).
