THE BOOK OF UGLY ECSTASY.

Spare, Austin Osman.

London: Fulgur, 1997. FIRST EDITION. Top edge gilt; A MINT COPY in dust jacket, uncirculated. A prophetic excerpt from Spare's unpublished writings. "The Prophecy of Logomachies", plus an introduction by Robert Ansell, who designed a most beautiful production, bound in custom cloth with French papers, and cream dust jacket. A haunting creation, this important sketchbook of immensely powerful line drawings from 1924, directly communicates the heart of the "cultus", of which Spare was an adept. Discovered in 1991 after having been pronounced as "lost" during the World War, now fully restored. Tall quarto. Item #18193
