[WERKMANN, HENDRIK NICOLAAS]. Holland.
(Heerenveen Blauwe Schuit 1942) Quarto. (6)ff. One of 120 copies. Werkman (1882-1944) was a brilliant avant-garde individualist, who was influenced by Dada and Constructivism, and affiliated with members of de Stijl and de Ploeg, but was never actually part of any movement. He experimented with typography, texture, and image. During the last years of his life he produced a large number of "Druksels," unique combinations of pochoir and typography, of which this is one. He called his press "The Blue Ship" after a detail in a Bosch painting, a comment on the cruel and chaotic conditions of war. The wrapper, both inside and outside, is printed in color, and two color illustrations illustrate the two poems. An extremely fine copy. (Hot Printing 42g17).
