  1. Fantastic illustrations! Very Dada/Surreal in the fashion of Ernst and Hoche. Especially like the cover.

  2. "Make it new" indeed. Many of these would make great posters. I wonder if he did any? 1968 - was certainly a banner year for a lot of things. I like how he uses image to make his point.

  5. Thanks for your comments. I realized I do have another Stepan book (kind of pathetic that I didn't know it!), so he will show up again soon.

    Mr. Knappy-Head, it might sound like a good idea now, but you will curse your fate. (As do my long-suffering friends.)
