ZDANEVICH, Ilia Mikhailovich (1894-1975). LidantIU fAram. [Le-Dantiu as a Beacon]. Paris: [n. pr.], 1923.
Presentation copy of this superb avant-garde book – ‘a typographic tour de force’ (Bury). Known as ‘Il’iazd’, Zdanevich began his career authoring essays on the art and theories of Russian Futurism. Having published his first poems in Georgia during World War I, he later moved to Paris. LidanIU fAram was a unique blend of Georgian, Italian and Russian futurist currents, and Dadaism. It employed hundreds of sorts of typefaces and symbols to render the zaum language, the graphic aspect almost taking over the text; the cover decoupage was designed by Naum Granovski. Lilia Brik was a writer and member of the Russian avant-garde. The wife of the critic and editor Osip Brik, she was also, famously, Mayakovsky’s ‘muse’. S. Bury, in C. Berghaus, ed., Handbook of International Futurism, p.169.
Octavo (190 x 140mm). Unopened, loose booklet dated 1947 remembering the publication of the work (a trifle yellowed). In the original wrappers. Provenance: I.M. Zdanevich (signed dedication on first blank) – Lilia Brik (1891-1978).
