An early monograph on the work of Simon Lissim, a Ukranian-born designer, with fine pochoir plates by Saudé.
Simon Lissim was a painter, ceramist, theatre designer and notable figure in the émigré community in Paris in the 1920s, closely involved with Diaghilev, Bakst, Benois and others. 'He belonged unmistakably to the twentieth century, was nevertheless a modern example of Renaissance man, for his achievements were spread over a wide spectrum with theatrical décor at one end and porcelain designs at the other. Between were paintings in gouache and scraperboard, and designs for crystal, cutlery and jewellery.' (Raymond Lister)
During World War II he emigrated to the United States and was appointed head of the Art Education Project in the New York Public Library in 1942.
Limited edition, this copy out of series and inscribed by the artist, small 8vo (19 x 14.5 cm); illustrated with 22 phototypes (of which 6 are coloured in pochoir by Saudé), with tissue guards, some pages uncut, signed in ink on the upper fly leaf, original printed thick wrappers, a very good copy.
