Hard Cover. Condizione: New. First Limited. Completely in mint condition. Three copies unopen in the original shipping box. One copy opened, but unused, brand new. The Metropolitan's three sketchbooks by Jackson Pollock (American, 19121956), which date from about 1937 to about 1941, document an experimental and formative period for this major Abstract Expressionist. In much of the first two sketchbooks, Pollock followed the methods of his teacher-mentor Thomas Hart Benton (American, 18891975) by copying black-and-white reproductions of Old Master paintings from art books Pollock owned. These sketchbooks also contain a series of nude studies, two portraits of women, and the only known self-portrait drawing by Pollock. The third sketchbook consists of original compositions influenced by the work of Mexican muralists José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and also by Surrealism. Pollock's three sketchbooks are now published in a limited, numbered edition in facsimile form, presented in a rich, luxurious deep-brown cloth box. Each sketchbook facsimile is bound with chrome spiral bindings, as were the original sketchbooks, and stored on a separate tray in the box. They are accompanied by a booklet of illuminating essays, as well as comparative illustrations that provide detailed information about Pollock's sources for most of the seventy-one sheets of drawings. The edition is numbered and limited to 525 sets. Set of 3 sketchbooks. 71 sheets total. Spiral bound. Includes an 88 page-book. Sketchbook I: 18'' x 2''. Sketchbook II: 13 7-8'' x 16 7-8''. Sketchbook III: 14'' x 10''. The set presented in the publisher's clamshell box.
