VERVE Vol. II, Nos. 5 et 6: THE FRENCH ART REVIEW [World's Fair Number] July - October 1939

Editions De La Revue Verve, 1939. First Edition. Trade Paperback. First American Edition, printed in Paris. Tall 4to, 35.5 cm. Sewn binding in lithographic printed wraps with original art by Aristide Maillol. Illustrated throughout with color and b/w in-text illustrations and photos, color tipped-in plates, COMPLETE with 16 full-page color lithograph prints by Constanin Guys, Georges Braque, Georges Rouault, Andre Derain, Fernand Leger, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, and Paul Klee. Some trivial rubbing to the wrappers, else FINE--very clean and sharp; in original publisher's printed slipcase with color mounted plate, showing some wear around the edges but still holding strong and sound; an uncommonly nice example of book quite prone to wear as a massive volume printed in wraps. One of Verve's most elaborate productions and the first double issue, a thematic issue devoted to the human figure-- 'a volume of exceptional rechness.' (Michel Antonioz, VERVE: The Ultimate Review of Art and Literature, 105). FINE. Item #510479
