$100.00
“Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective … an eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception. How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of ‘Green?'” So begins Stan Brakhage’s (1933-2003) classic Metaphors on Vision. Originally published in 1963 by Jonas Mekas as a special issue of Film Culture, and designed by George Maciunas, it stands as the major theoretical statement by one of avant-garde cinema’s most influential figures, a treatise on mythopoeia and the nature of visual experience written in a style as idiosyncratic as his art.
Anthology Film Archives, 1976 staple bound 2nd edition. Some discoloration that appears to be from glue or ink aging on flyleaf page/opening plate. General wear to edges of wraps consistent with the rough material of the paper. Small tear to front wrap. “Brakhage” has been written in pencil on spine.
