Reproduction of a sketchbook featuring delicately colored drawings created by Spare in 1924. Produced at a time when his life was in acute crisis, the drawings evoke a rare world of grotesque truth and sublime transcendence. It includes an analytical introductory essay by Robert Ansell discussing the development of Spare’s magic-aesthetic. Published here for the first time, this important sketchbook can be considered a companion volume to The Book of Ugly Ecstasy.
