A really
wonderful facsimile of the 1913 original that features Blaise Cendrar's free
verse poem describing a real or imagined trip across Russia and printed in an
assortment of type fonts and sizes. Combined with Delaunay's 'simultanist'
abstract work this early artists' book still exudes the excitement and vitality
of this collaboration between two important Paris-based pioneers of early 20th
modernism.
Presented as a two-sided accordion with the artists' works on either side, the
work then opens up further into a long single sheet in which the image and
texts are brought together. 83.75" (H) x 7.5"
(W).
