Le Char Triomphal de l'Antimoine
Brauner, Victor. Goll, Yvan
Paris. Editions Hémisphères. 1949
An excellent example of Yvan Goll's text with Brauner's trio of mystical etchings.
From the edition limited to 333 copies with this one of 300 on vélin de Rives à la forme.
Yvan Goll (1891 - 1950) is notable as one of the leader's of the so-called dissident Surrealists, those who followed Apollinaire's original ideas of sur-réalisme rather than those developed by Breton, and whose manifesto 'Surréalisme' was published shortly before the 'Manifeste du Surréalisme' in 1924. Yvan Goll founded the New York-based review 'Hémisphères' during World War Two which published work by both European exiles and American artists and poets; the present edition was issued by its publishing branch. Brauner's etchings depict Azoth, Raziel and Lilith, illuminating Goll's writings, themselves inspired by the Kabbalah and gnostic thought.
' ... certains exemplaires comprennent seulement deux ou une seule signature de lartiste ... de cette édition il n'y a eu qu'environ 150 exemplaires terminés avec les trois gravures signées par Brauner.' (Michael Ilk).
