(BRAKHAGE, STAN). Brakhage, Stan. Robert A. Haller, Editor. New Paltz, NY: Documentext, 1982. First Edition #144/200 Deluxe. 4to. Gilt-Debossed Cloth in Jacket. Film Monograph. Near Fine/Very Good. 262pp, 15 b&w and 1 color illustration. With a filmography and bibliography. Stan Brakhage is arguably the greatest single exponent of American experimental film. This collection publishes - mostly for the first time - notes, articles, essays, and most interestingly Brakhage's letters to the likes of Ed Dorn, James Broughton, Jonas Mekas, Michael McClure, Marie Menken, Bruce Baillie, P. Adams Sitney, and Donald Sutherland. As uncompromising as his cinematic work, these writings are insightful, intriguing, and frequently provocative. A most handsome example from the uncommon deluxe hardbound edition limited to two hundred copies NUMBERED (144/200) AND BOLDLY SIGNED "Stan Brakhage" on the copyright page, as issued, in the publisher's extremely fragile unprinted tissue dustwrapper and acetate dust jacket. 0-914232-47-9 Inventory Number: 024267
