Description: Warszawa warsaw, Polska Akademia Nauk / Instytut Sztuki, 1987. 1st edition. Paperback, 23,5cmx16,5cm, Good condition /Cover illustrated, 'Polska Akademia Nauk - Instytut Sztuki'. The founding of Yung-yidish, the first Yiddish artistic avant-garde group in Poland, grew out of a meeting in 1918 between poet Moyshe Broderzon and a group of visual artists centered around Yitskhok Broyner, Yankl Adler, and Marek Szwarc. Eventually, the group included some 20-odd members including Yitshak Katzenelson, Yekhezkl - Moyshe Nayman, and Hershele, as well as younger people discovered by the group, such as the artist Henekh Bartshinski and the writers Elimelekh Shmulevitsh, Khayim Leyb Fuks, and Yisroel Shtern. In 1919, the group published a journal, also called Yung-yidish. The first issue of the group’s magazine Yung-yidish was published in February / March 1919. Like Russian futurist journals and the experiments of the Moscow Circle for a Jewish National Aesthetic, the linocuts included in the journal were not mere illustrations but 'poems in drawings', reflecting the idea that no barriers should come between artistic genres. Even the journal’s look was innovative: The gray wrapping paper on which Yung-yidish was printed indicated to readers that a new form reflected the industrial reality of Lódz. Two additional issues were published in 1919. A fourth issue never appeared. 68 b/w illustrations. 246 pag text.
