Description: The Gain of Aft Author: Mullican, Lee Title: The Gain of Aft Publication: Illuminati, 1947 Edition: First Edition Description: Trade Paperback. 9 leaves, including reproductions of three abstract drawings. In an oral history conducted by the Archives of American Art (Smithsonian Institution), Mullican describes being in the army with Jack Stauffacher, who even before the Second World War had set up the Greenwood Press behind his house in San Mateo, California. They cooked up the idea of a book and this is the result. Mullican describes the publication: 'I'd written this kind of obscure, and I don't think ... very good poem, but the drawings are very nice.' About the time this book was published, Mullican, with Gordon Onslow Ford and Wolfgang Paalen, formed the Dynaton group, a spinoff of the Surrealists that culminated in a celebrated show in San Francisco in 1951. A notable work in the American Surrealist canon, printed by a major California printer and typographer. This is one of 250 numbered copies printed at the Greenwood Press. First edition (first printing). A near fine copy in wrappers (paperback) with a glassine outer [JSP01; JSP04].
