4 Cartes Postales

Dermisache, Mirtha

Antwerp. Guy Schraenen, editeur. 1978, juin
An excellent example of Mirtha Dermisache's scarce artist-postcards.

From the edition 'illimité'.

Dermisache has - helpfully - filled the left-hand verso of the card, that most usually reserved for the sender's written message, with her own asemic writing; she has left the address field blank.

'In the book works of Mirtha Dermisache I discovered an oeuvre that was hitherto unknown to me. I was acquainted with language works ... dealing with abstract signs. In this field, the language developed by Mirtha Dermisache fascinated me.' (Guy Schraenen).

[see 'A Transatlantic Affair' by Guy Schraenen (pp. 33 - 47) in 'Mirtha Dermisache - Because I Write!', Buenos Aires, 2017].
16mo. (110 x 157 mm). Folded card with titles in black within border to front cover, colophon and achevé d'imprimer to interior and 4 postcards, each with Dermisache's graphisms recto and verso; card size: 105 x 147 mm. Loose as issued in original publisher's glassine envelope.
