About This Item
London: Lund Humphries. 1964. Second printing of the first English translation. Original black boards with a yellow cloth spine, titles to the spine in black, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with Paul Klee's paintings and drawings in black and white and colour as well as with diagrams. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities with some light wear, the bottom corner of the rear board with a minor bump. The very lightly toned contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased original which has a few short closed tears to the edges, some cracking to the rear spine fold, and slight fading to the spine. Not price-clipped (£7 to the front flap). Paul Klee's lecture notes from the Bauhaus school together with extensive extracts from more than 2500 pages of his notebooks which lay out his ideas on form and artistic creation, presented alongside reproductions of his work demonstrating his theories. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
