GROSZ. 1924.

Rome: Valori Plastici, 1924

19,5 x 14 cm, unpaginated (c.44pp) plus original wrappers with a reproduced drawing by Grosz.

First edition of this French consideration and appreciation of the Dadaist published at the end of the First World War and with thirty-two phototypes by Grosz at the end of the book. It is a fair assumption that Grosz’s humorous and bitterly vicious sketches of the Teutonic bourgeoisie and German army leadership must have found a welcoming public in the victorious French people.

A fine example although a few late pages have light pencil additions under the images.
