Item description from seller

What artist was better suited to Poe's dark tale than Alice Neel! She loved the story, would even giggle and shriek at readings. Along with two color lithographs, she included an etching of a skull-like self-portrait which was originally a pen and ink drawing, and 2 smaller black & white text illustrations. Raphael Soyer, in his afterword, tells of his reaction to seeing Neel's paintings for the first time: 'a veritable inferno!' I said to myself, looking at the souls struggling on the canvases which surrounded us in her apartment.They are convulsively alive, their limbs seem to be in motion, their mouths, eyes, grimace and contort. Two color lithographs and one etching by Alice Neel with two text illustrations. Afterword by Raphael Soyer. Edition limited to 1500 numbered copies. Each book signed by Alice Neel and Raphael Soyer. Text, lithographs and etching printed on all-cotton mould- made letterpress paper, produced especially for this book by Cartiere Enrico Magnani. Hand bound in marble paper with leather edges and spine. Black, cotton covered slipcase. Monthly letter laid in. One Volume, 11½ x 15½ . As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS).…
