<TD VALIGN="top"><B>38. Austin Osman Spare <BR>(1856-1926)</B><BR><I>Nemesis</I><BR><BR><FONT SIZE="-1">Lithograph in red, 1916, 521 x 371 mm. Fine impression on laid paper with good margins, signed (?) and titled in red crayon; horizontal fold mark reinforced on the back for inclusion in the British journal <I>Form</I>, Vol. I, No. 1, 1916. Spare was a brilliantly talented and rather weird artist, not well understood in his own time and not much better understood today. He was attracted to such things as automatic drawing and writing, magic symbols and subconscious actions bypassing the rational parts of the mind, and his images, though meticulously drawn, are hardly to be grasped on a rational level. He made many drawings and paintings and a few, rare prints. In the image here, a sleeping figure (at the very bottom) gives rise to a wide-awake astral form, horns, wings, a female nude and a bearded figure blowing a primitive horn. Comprehend it, if you can. Or simply let it haunt you. That issue of <I>Form</I>, by the way, also contained such contributions as a group of poems by William Butler Yeats. Spare was in distinguished intellectual company. The print is almost never seen on the market.</FONT></TD>
