29. Vol. 3, No 3. 1 leaf, pp. 163-237, 1 leaf. With numerous illus. 4to, orig. wrappers
designed by Enrico Prampolini. - Original edition. - This magazine was published
between November 1921 and November 1923 in various places: Rome (until
September 1922), Berlin (October to March 1923) and New York (August 1923-1924). -
"Broom" is rooted in the New York movement of Dada, without beeing representative
for it. Harald Loeb can best described as a marginal figure of the contemporary Dadaist
activities. Instead of focusing on Dada, the magazine introduced different currents of
the European avant-garde to the U.S. audience. To promote this purpose, the wrappers
have been often designed by key individuals of those relevant movements; amongst
others by Fernand Léger, El Lissitzky, and Man Ray, and, in this case, by Enrico
Prampolini. - The issue offered includes, among others, "Epitaph" by Philippe Soupault,
which was written for Aragon, Eluard, Fraenkel, Picabia and Tzara as well as the quite
interesting article "Tatlin's Monument to the Third International" by the American artist
Louis Lozowick and Prampolinis essay "The aesthetic of the machine and mechanical
introspection in art". - The magazine is illustrated with various works of Matisse, Tatlin
and Prampolini. - Uncut specimen. - Wrappers at the corners expertly patched,
otherwise very well-preserved copy of this rare issue.
