Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Dust Jacket. 4to. Original publishers black cloth, lettered gilt at the spine. Copiously illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. In a century that was dominated by science and technology, the wide-ranging artwork of Michael Ayrton (1921-75) is truly a tribute to the enduring power of Greek myth. Theorists often discuss the link between myth and creativity, but rarely does one see this connection manifested so provocatively over the course of an artist's career. Fittingly, this British sculptor, painter, author, filmmaker, and maze designer was inspired by the story of the archetypal craftsman Daedalus - father of Icarus and maker of the labyrinth that imprisoned the Minotaur - and produced over 800 works that in turn enhance the myth's significance. This book is heavy, and delivery costs may be a consideration especially outside Britain.
