BENITO.- COCTEAU (Jean). Dans le ciel de la patrie. Illustra - Lot 535
BENITO.- COCTEAU (Jean). Dans le ciel de la patrie. Illustrations by Benito. Paris, France, Imprimerie Draeger (for Société SPAD, Société Pour l'Avion et ses Dérivés), 1918, small 4° square, publisher's illustrated boards (cuts and spine rubbed). First edition illustrated with 12 cubist compositions by Edouardo Garcia Benito. Active in Paris between 1910 and 1940, Benito (1891-1981) first made a name for himself as an advertising designer. His Cubist-inspired figures are irresistibly reminiscent of Modigliani's paintings. He collaborated with the magazines Fantasio, Gazette du bon ton, Monsieur, Le Goût du jour, La Guirlande, Les Feuillets d'Art, Femina, Vogue and Vanity Fair. He continued to draw for writers, illustrating texts such as Jean Cocteau's "Dans le ciel de la patrie" in 1918.
