£50.00
Hilversum: Hilversum Jong & Co, n.d (1961)
25 x 25cm, unpaginated (c.104pp), original wrappers with French folds. The thirty-fifth and last published of the Kwadraat-Bladen books produced by Pieter Brattinga for Hilversum Jong & Co as a way to promote their high-end printing business. The book takes a painting by Balthasar van der Ast from 1657 of a floral still-life. The artist Aloisio Magalhaes placed a grid of rectangles over a fill colour reproduction of the image and selectively enlarged 51 such sections so that the Ben Day dots from the printing process can be clearly seen. An attractive publication. VG+.
