Accordion Style. Condizione: Fine. Limited Edition. No. 22 of 25, duodecimo size, 16 unnumbered pp., signed by the artist. Gerrit Henry (1950-2003) was an American art critic, author, and poet best known for his tendency to favour contemporary combinations of traditional representation and modernist abstraction. Here his poem "Lullabye" is presented as a woodcut by artist Hilary Lorenz. Lorenz's art draws on her love of wildernesses and hiking, creating sensory environments made from relief prints and cut paper, watercolour, and natural fibres; her prints correspond to the mystery of the poem's language through visceral marks and vibrant colours. ___DESCRIPTION: Accordion style binding with a navy cloth front board and yellow ochre cloth back board, title printed in orange and yellow on a paper belly-band wrapped around the book, each page is printed from a woodblock in bright orange and yellow; duodecimo size (8.5" x 6.25", oblong), pagination: 16 unnumbered pages, number 22 of 25 copies, signed by the artist. ___CONDITION: Volume is in fine condition with clean boards free of any marks or scuffing, illustrations are vivid and pages are clean; paper wrapper is in near fine condition with just some wear to the cloth tape on the back. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
