Paperback. Condition: Fine. , First edition. Tall quarto, 85 black & white plates and xxiv pages of notes. Fine card covers, no inscriptions or marks, an excellent copy. This volume of photographs and poems contains 85 black-and-white press photographs from World War II which Brecht himself cut out of newspapers and magazines. They date from his exile in Sweden and Finland in 1940 and 1941, but were mainly collected during his exile in the USA, from July 1941 till the end of the war. To each picture, Brecht added a four-line poem - poignant, angry, personal or political, or a combination of these. This book therefore constitutes an intriguing record of World War II from the viewpoint of one of the 20th-century's greatest and most politically-engaged poets.…

German poet and dramatist Bertold Brecht's Kriegsfibel [War Primer] was first published in 1955. Brecht's mistrust of the press imagery emerging from the Second World War led him to compose four-line poems, which he juxtaposed with photographs sourced from newspapers and magazines, many of which were from LIFE magazine as Brecht was living in the United States in exile from Nazi Germany. Broomberg & Chanarin, concerned with the proliferation of imagery relating to the 'War on Terror' that began with 9/11, have taken copies of the 1998 first English edition of Brecht's War Primer as the starting point for this revised version. Keeping the original captions intact, they have partially overlaid the original photographs selected by Brecht with contemporary imagery from both sides of the recent conflict drawn from online sources. The URL for each image is provided with a caption in a new set of notes, screenprinted over the originals. Broomberg & Chanarin were awarded the 2013 Deutsche Bà rse Photography Prize for this work. First edition, an altered artists' book, number 68 of 100 copies signed by both artists on the front free endpaper; 4to (294 x 243 mm, 11½ x 9½ in); 85 black-and-white photographs printed in offset, each with a new photographic reproduction partially pasted over it by hand, the final image with a screen printed red square, new notes screen printed in red over the original text section; plain endpapers, grey cloth-covered boards, original titles stamped on spine in silver, new titles screen printed in red on upper side, starting at head, near-fine; [176], xxivpp. The Photobook: A History III, p285.…
