HARAUCOURT (E.): The Legend of the Sexes. Hysterical poems printed under the coat and sold nowhere. (circa 1930) In-8 brocaded (back past). Frontispiece printed on japanese paper engraved and watercolored by hand by the artist (each frontispiece is slightly different from the other copies) and 16 original drypoints by FRanz de GEETERE. This edition of the Legend of the Sexes is one of the strongest and among the most disturbing. All the talent of the Flemish artist Frans de Geetere (1895-1973) can be found in it. With Frans de Geetere it is the darkness, violence and crudeness of tortured sex that is expressed in the majority of the work. The artist's prints combine perfectly with the words of Edmond Haraucourt. La Légende des Sexes is the author's first work. Edition of 200 copies, this one 1/145 on Montval.
