American Abstract Artists (1946) (Inscribed to Ben Nicholson by George L K Morris)

Volume issued to mark the AAA’s tenth anniversary and a important early document of US abstraction as it developed towards Abstract Expressionism. Paper-covered boards. Essays by Josef Albers, László Moholy‑Nagy, Piet Mondrian, Fernand Léger, Karl Knaths, A. E. Gallatin, and George L. K. Morris — painter, critic, and passionate advocate of American abstraction in the 1930s–40s — has inscribed this copy in pencil to Ben Nicholson: ‘To Ben Nicholson – the American Artists’ First (and only) guest exhibitor’. Condition: boards a little faded to spine and edges.
