About This Item
Many black & white illus. 112 unnumbered pages. 8vo (211 x 145 mm.), printed wrappers. Rochester: Visual Studies Workshop, 1986.<br /> <P> An uncommon collection of visual poems by the American book artist, Keith A. Smith (b. 1938); this is an early photo-digital book, created using Thunderscan. Printed offset in an edition of 500 copies on Mohawk Vellum 70 lb. There was also a leather-bound edition of 25 copies. The present example is signed by the artist on the title-page.<br /> <P> "In Overcast/Outcast Smith takes [it] a step farther. While [Book 115] is almost entirely graphic - a flat pattern on the page - Outcast develops dimensionality with its verbal materials. The thematic concerns of the book - homosexual identity in contemporary culture - is well served by the sleight-of-hand complexities of representation and dissimulation."-J. Drucker, The Century of Artists' Books (2004 ed.), p. 248.<br /> <P> As new.<br /> <P> ⧠Smith, 200 Books (2003 ed.), pp. 196-97.
