Russian Avant-Garde

BIEBL, Konstantin.

Zlom. Nové vydání. [Rupture. New edition].

Prague. Odeon. 1928. 8vo. pp. 64. Typography and 4 coloured typographical compositions by Teige printed on yellow paper. Original wrappers, a fine copy.

Limited edition of 1600 copies. The second, expanded edition of Biebl's surrealistic poems from the years 1923-1928, published here for the first time with Teige's typographical compositions.

The composition of 'Zlom' differs from the companion volume 'S lodi ...', in using more decorative elements: stars, braves, etc. The cover design, however, printed in brown and blue on light blue stock, is strictly constructivist and incorporates both front and back cover. The title page, printed in red and black, is also different in being an almost functional design.
