Description: • For Your Consideration: • A First GERMAN Edition in HARDCOVER of: • “200 JAHRE PHANTASTISCHE MALEREI [In English: “200 YEARS OF FANTASTIC PAINTING]”(Rembrandt Verlang, 1973) (Hardcover, First Edition) • BY WIELAND SCHMIED • In GERMAN • ILLUSTRATED with BLACK & WHITE & COLOR PLATES • “THE FANTASTIC AND ALL THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT—the absurd, the peculiar, the absurd, the unreal, the irrational and the illusionary, the visionary, the hallucinatory, and the dreamlike belong to the constant under- and counter-currents of all art. “Such images remind us that the world is more diverse—richer and more unpredictable than we sometimes want it to be—that the night sides with the secrets of the dark their secrets of the dark belong to it as inherently as the day with its magic of light. “Fantastic art articulates powers and drives that have a very intense influence on our life, on our consciousness. It always shakes the unquestionable world, it always gives us fright: from the rounds in ourselves and from the mysteries of a world that we did not create. “WIELAND SCHMIED, who, as director of the Kestner Society, highlighted the topicality of fantastic and surrealist ideas in the work of numerous contemporary art in much-discussed exhibitions, in this book examines the various definitions of the fantastic and tries to distinguish between similar and related phenomena…but also to delimit the fantastic art from the historical currents of Mannerism, Romanticism, Symbolism and Surrealism, which contain all elements of the fantastic. “The art of PIRANESI, VON FUSSLI, BLAKE, GOYA, BRESDIN, HUGO, MOREAU, REDON, ENSOR, KUBIN, ROUSSEAU, DE CHIRICO, MAX ERNST, PIERRE ROY, TANGUY, MIRO, DALI, BRAUNER, BELLMER, OELZE, LAM and MAGRITTE is acknowledged in separate chapters and the multiple manifestations of fantastic art after 1945 are presented in a final chapter.” —THE PUBLISHER (TRANSLATION)—FROM THE INSIDE FLAP • • For other details about this book, please see below. •TITLE: “200 JAHRE PHANTASTISCHE MALEREI”AUTHOR: WIELAND SCHMIED ILLUSTRATED: WITH BLACK & WHITE & COLOR PLATESLANGUAGE: GERMAN (NOT ENGLISH) TYPE: HARDCOVERPAGES: 475 SIZE (INCHES): 4.50 X 6.25 X .50 (DEPTH) PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Rembrandt Verlang (Berlin), 1973 EDITION: First Edition, First Printing* *RE: On the Copyright Page, no later editions listed.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS.
