MINDERNES VIRKSOMHED

Copenhagen: (Illums bog-afdeling) / (Nordlundes Bogtrykkeri), 1935. First Edition. Very good.. Artist's book by the Danish surrealist, a student of Klee and Kandinsky at the Bauhaus in Dessau. Striking black and white drawings, with suggestive or elliptical captions ("Memory's flight" "I wander the sea"). From the brief introduction: "i tidens løb smeltede drøm og virkelighed sammen i en raekke billeder, hvortil der knytter sig enkelte losrevne ord." [Over time, dream and reality melted together in a series of images to which some loose words belong.]. Wraps. Small 8vo. Tan illustrated wraps, with faint soil and dampstaining. Moderate edgewear and scuffing, with some small tears to spine ends. This copy numbered 177. [24pp.] Very good.
