Description

Large quarto hardcover, pictorial paper covered boards in matching pictorial dust-jacket. 112 pages. Foreword by Edward Mason. Illustrated with over 100 full page color page pictures. First edition, first printing with full number line. “Unrepentant, unapologetic, unbridled and under-appreciated, genre art from the first half of the 20th century reflected subconscious urges of a economically deprived and sexually depressed generation.” [Publisher’s description from inside dust-jacket flap (N.B. they didn’t say repressed, I thought that was telling)]. Featured artists include: Tom Lovell, Virgil Finlay, Hannes Bok, Margaret Brundage, and Enoch Bolles. No previopus ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked and like new copy. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.
