(WELLS, JAMES LESESNE). Kainen, Jacob. Washington, D.C.: Gallery of Art, Howard University, 1965. Edition Not Stated - Presumed First. 8vo. Illustrated Wrappers. Exhibition Brochure. Near Fine.. One 9 ½ x 12 ½" sheet printed offset recto and verso, machine folded in half vertically to make 4pp, one monochrome cover illustration. With an exhibition checklist, biography, exhibition history collections listing and bibliography. This is the slender four page brochure published in conjunction with a November 1965 exhibition of fourteen paintings and thirty-six prints by Howard University artist, and educator James Lesesne Wells held at the University's own Gallery of Art. In addition to a complete checklist, it includes a brief essay on Wells by the noted artist Jacob Kainen. A most handsome example of this exceedingly uncommon - not a single copy currently appears in OCLC WorldCat - ephemeral item that was the only printed documentation of the event.
