However if I will get one I will scan some - recently about the book covers I felt in love with one beautiful book I bought (a really lucky bargain) a christmas issue of L'Illustration from 1930 which has one of the finest examples of (not only) art deco book cover art inside.<br /><br />The designer of the Gulaški's book is slovak painter Naďa Rappensbergerová it should also has a soft cover with an illustration that is missing.tigrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-23870318622800735322009-11-09T11:20:28.889-05:002009-11-09T11:20:28.889-05:00thanks for all your kind comments.
tigre, eterna...thanks for all your kind comments. <br /><br />tigre, eternal thanks for supplying this info, which I'll add to the post. if you have a scanner and want to do some posts from your collection, please get in touch!<br /><br />Do you know anything about the designer for the 1970 book by Andrej Guľaški (top image)? Quite a few of the binding illustrations -- in this series of three posts -- seem to be the work of one designer.<br /><br />WillWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-92176923727848718722009-11-09T10:48:58.279-05:002009-11-09T10:48:58.279-05:00I meant typo on the cover...I meant typo on the cover...tigrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-74285973776383056622009-11-09T10:43:11.033-05:002009-11-09T10:43:11.033-05:00I just noticed you also wonder about the book by J...I just noticed you also wonder about the book by Josef Čapek - it is book he wrote "Umění přírodních národů" literally "The Art of Natural Nations" which is an etnographic analysis about roots and rituals connected to tribal (natural) art and how the primitivism influence the modern art.<br /><br />The "primitive art" mainly from Africa and Oceania is a subject he first encountered during his studies in Trocadéro in Paris and which deeply influenced him and he followed it his whole life.<br /><br />It is not bad book - although niether it is great not talking about the fact that it is outdated.<br />I have had it in my hands years back but do not recall much about the illustrations. But according to info available it is supposed to have 32 photograph pages + many illustrations in the text.<br /><br />I believe the typo and cover of this book was done by Zdenek Seydl.tigrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-55560533418073067742009-11-09T09:44:37.857-05:002009-11-09T09:44:37.857-05:00it is a mix of books - Czechoslovak :)
