"Yellow cloth with black lettering on cover and spine in original color illustrated dust jacket. Illustrated endpapers. "The author, Dr. Herta Wescher, was the friend of many Bauhaus and other collage artists…her writing embodies the enthusiasm, humor, affection, and personal comprehension of a participant in the lively and contentious circles she frequented. Assiduously she tracked down reminiscences and forgotten works from those tumultuous times, rescuing from oblivion much previously unpublished material. Thanks to her research, the reader may not only see the output of world-famous collagists, but also may meet the brilliant but often neglected Czech adherents of Futurist and later styles; the astonishing Russians; the loners from various parts of the world, all of whom helped make collage one of the most direct and unguarded forms of expression in the long history of art." Illustrated with 396 illustrations, including 40 hand-tipped plates in full color. Translated by Robert E. Wolf."
