Felix M. Furtwängler – Georg Heym. The War. Artwork by Felix M. Furtwängler. Berlin, Tyslander Press, 1987. Text and illustrations in linocut. Original cloth binding and slipcase with a colored woodcut vignette on the cover. Together in a slipcase. Call time: approx. 1:18 p.m. (schedule subject to change) One of 17 copies. - Text and illustrations in linocut. - Printed on heavy handmade paper, bound as a block book. - Imprint signed by the artist. - According to the imprint, the suite includes two-color gouache and ten woodcuts; this copy lacks the gouache and contains 11 woodcuts (the Frankfurt catalog describing this copy does not address this discrepancy). - In the original slipcase edition (9 copies), closely modeled after the design of Kirchner/Heym’s *Umbra Vitae*, “... Furtwängler enhances his contribution to the book by interweaving text and graphics, scattering the graphics—cut into fragments—throughout the text like sudden exclamation points. The title character of the book is perhaps Furtwängler’s most powerful individual figure of all” (Stefan Soltek in the above-mentioned catalog). Spindler 140.30 44.0 × 32.0 cm. [36] pages. - Slipcase with signs of storage.
