MWW Artwork of the Day (7/6/24) Antonio Berni (Argentine, 1905-1981) Desoccupados (The Unemployed)(1934) Tempera on burlap, 213.4 x 404.8 cm. Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires

Delesio Antonio Berni was an Argentine figurative artist. He is associated with the movement known as Nuevo Realismo ("New Realism"), a Latin American extension of social realism. He began painting realistic images that depicted the struggles and tensions of the Argentine people. His popular Nuevo Realismo paintings include "Desocupados (The Unemployed)" and "Manifestación" (Manifestation). Both were based on photographs Berni had gathered to document, as graphically as possible, the "abysmal conditions of his subjects."

Shakespeare Weekend

Shakespeare’s comedy, Love’s Labour’s Lost, is volume 20 of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. There is some evidence that Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of Shakespeare's earliest works, likely performed in 1595. It was printed in quarto in 1598 by the bookseller Cuthbert Burby. The play was later printed in the first folio in 1623. 

The illustrator, is the Austrian-Argentine painter Mariette Lydis (1887-1970). Lydis traveled the world and lived in many different countries for extended periods of time, including Italy, America, England, Russia, and France aside form her home countries. She received no formal training in art but was inspired by the people and places she visited. She did many drawings during her travels, some being done in prisons and asylums, which reveal her interest in the humanity. Lydis became a very successful artist and illustrator, illustrating over forty books. Though she was a highly competent engraver and lithographer she produced these drawings in crayon and wash, which are reproduced here as collotypes in black and grey inks. Lydis lived openly as bisexual, spending her last thirty years of her life with her partner, Erica Marx, in Argentina. 

On illustrating Love’s Labour’s Lost, Lydis writes:

“During [a] concentrated reading, the illustrator must visualize [their] creatures from within and without. I dare to say that at this moment the illustration is already done, although no pencil line may have been traced. When an illustrator has read [the] text in this manner, the people, the landscapes and the scenes have become so real to [them], that [they have] almost the impression of drawing from a model.” 

The volumes in the set were printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each was illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. The illustrations were reproduced in collotypes by Georges Duval in Paris. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
