Scope and Contents
G. Brecht and S. Wewerka cut-up, stamped and glued R. Hamilton's artrubberprint "Fire Tires" while listening to jazz to make this book.Printed Matter: This book presents reproductions of collaborative drawings made in January, 1981, by Brecht and Wewerka. As Brecht writes in the introduction: "We talked about letters, and Chinese, while / listening to jazz: Lester Young, Billie Holiday / Yardbird, and others. / Richard Hamilton's artrubberprint "Five Tires' / was cut up, stamped, glued. / There was plenty to drink, too! / We have never thought of these "drawings' as / works to be shown, let alone reproduced. They are / just the leftovers of an evening when the authors / tried to get a bit clear(er) about "letters.'" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
