        Blaine, Mahlon. Venus Sardonica.

        Est: €5,000 - €7,500

        Blaine, Mahlon. Venus Sardonica. Folge von 49 Tafeln und 1 Original-Federzeichnung. New York, 1929. Blattgröße: 30,5 x 23 cm. Lose in Original-Leinwandmappe (Deckel lose). Erste Ausgabe. - Eins von 50 Exemplaren. - Jedem der Exemplare wurde 1 Original-Zeichnung (23 x 33 cm) beigegeben. Ohne Titelblatt erschienen. (Einer späteren Ausgabe, New York, 1939, wurde ein Titelblatt beigegeben: Venus Sardonica. 50 Extravaganzas). - Sehr seltenes Werk des amerikanischen Künstlers Mahlon Carradin Blaine (1894-1969), "the only American artist to produce an important erotic album." (Gershon Legman). - "Blaine's coming of age was by way of the 1920s bohemian culture of California, and he seemed well attuned to a modern artist's sensibility of nudity, sensuality and sexuality, no doubt reserving a portion of his portfolio as a home for demons, damsels, creatures and creaturettes, nakedly engaged in one improbable interaction or another...one of each of the fifty original drawings was put into a red folder along with prints of the other 49...There was no title page, no limitation page, no typography at all." (Roland Trenary, Mahlon Blaine: One-Eyed Visionary). - Tafeln verso mit kleinem Sammlerstempel. Tafeln etwas gebräunt, Kanten teils etwas bestoßen. Original-Zeichnung rückseitig mit Montagespuren. - Provenienz: Aus der Sammlung von Hans-Jürgen Döpp, Frankfurt.
