Impressiones De Kitaj: La Novela Pintada

Mondadori, 1989. First Edition. INSCRIBED by R.B. Kitaj on the first blank: "For — / Love from Kitaj." Text in Spanish.

Described by its author as “fiction painting,” where words and images complement each other throughought by way of a game of complicities, correspondences, and mutual reflections.

An extraordinary dialogue between a painter and a novelist: R.B. Kitaj, one of the great painters of our time, revealing for the first time the fascinating plot of his art alongside his life in the vicissitudes and conflicts of his time.

On the other side of the "conversation," novelist Julián Ríos tries to uncover what lies beyond masks and ghosts, to reveal the enigma of the painted image, and to open eyes to words — “in the beginning was the seeing… and the word.” To this end, three fictional characters sometimes extend the dialogue, introducing a counterpoint and dialectical critique.

Bumped at the spine ends and corners, else book and jacket Near Fine.
