"I struggle to express my emotions in words; clay is my voice": thus Dylan Lewis on the back of the dustjacket.
The emphasis of this review and appreciation of Dylan Lewis in his late-thirties to late-forties is on his work. Words are kept to a minimum but are universally complimentary.
Duotone illustrated dustjacket with lettering to all five faces, blue-black cloth-boards with blind-embossed lettering to the upper panel and spine, duotone illustrated endpapers, xiv + 194 pp of illustrations in colour and duotone + xxxiii pp of reduced illustrations and captions for the works shown earlier.
CONDITION NOTES. The dustjacket is near mint. The binding, boards and endpapers are fine. There is a handwritten dedication by the artist on the title page. The contents are complete and fine. However, a cautionary word about the binding: although now "fine", it will need to be handled carefully to remain so: the book is very heavy and the binding needed to be stronger than it now appears to be for between-section cracking to be eliminated. Nevertheless, this is a fine, even beautiful, production, with the quality of the photography and reproduction equalling the brilliance of the sculptor's genius.
