Located in Roma, IT
Juin 40 is an original Rare Book illustrated by Frans Masereel (1889 – 1972) in 1912. Original Edition. Précédé de “Fragments d’un journal de guerre 1940” de Henry de Montherlant. 1550 numbered copies. Published by Pierre Tisné, Paris. Format: Oblong 4°. The dimensions and the weight are indicative. The book includes 32 + 7 Pages with 32 Full page Lithographs. Good conditions. Frans Masereel (1889 – 1972). He was a Flemish painter and graphic artist who worked mainly in France, known especially for his woodcuts focused on political and social issues, such as war and capitalism. He completed over 40 wordless novels in his career, and among these, his greatest is generally said to be Passionate Journey. Masereel's woodcuts influenced Lynd Ward and later graphic artists such as Clifford Harper, Eric Drooker, and Otto Nückel. Masereel's woodcuts influenced Lynd Ward and later graphic artists such as George Walker, Clifford Harper, Eric Drooker, and New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno. Masereel's woodcut series, mainly of sociocritical content and expressionistic in form, made Masereel internationally known. Among them were the wordless novels 25 Images of a Man's Passion (1918), Passionate Journey (1919), The Sun (1919), The Idea (1920), Story Without Words (1920), and Landscapes and Voices (1929). At that time Masereel also drew illustrations for famous works of world literature by Thomas Mann, Émile Zola, and Stefan Zweig.
