These are two really exquisite screenprinted accordions by the German artist and publisher Hartmut Andryczuk (b. 1957). I can't pretend to understand exactly what the narrative is about in both of these books but there's a wonderful use of the panoramic qualitiy of the accordion format, with an intriguing mixture of visual poetry, text/image and a strong dose of lettrist inspired imagery. The screenprinted wooden covers give both books a substantial objectness and contrast nicely with the delicacy and lightness of the imagery in both of these double-sided publications.
Both books are 3' 2" opened full length with 10 pages each whose dimensions are 6' 1/4" x 3' 3/4". These two books are a couple of the more compelling examples in Redfoxpress' 'Blue Fox Collection' of accordion publications. More info at: BLUE FOX COLLECTION
