Descripción

252×175 mm. [48] pp. Original side-stapled printed wrappers. A nearly perfect copy. An extraordinary artist's book composed as if it were a variety show, with an introductory set of fake advertising posters and a program divided into two parts for a total of 16 stage moments, created using an uninhibited and unrestrained design where letters are shaped and distorted to outline figures and profiles. All printed on pages of different colors. Unanimously recognized as one of the greatest masterpieces of Futurist “parolibera” art. “Nella storia letteraria, non solo italiana, del secolo, Francesco Cangiullo rimarrà protagonista e innovatore di primissimo piano per quattro tappe fondamentali, tre poetiche ‘Piedigrotta', ‘Caffèconcerto', ‘Poesia pentagrammata', di fondamentale peso per lo sviluppo della poesia sia visuale che sonora, e una teatrale in collaborazione con Marinetti, il ‘Teatro della sorpresa' ” (A. Lora Totino, Francesco Cangiullo, Turin, 1979).
