Sobre este artículo
What artist was better suited to Poe's dark tale than Alice Neel! She loved the story, would even giggle and shriek at readings. Along with two color lithographs, she included an etching of a skull-like self-portrait which was originally a pen and ink drawing, and 2 smaller black & white text illustrations. Raphael Soyer, in his afterword, tells of his reaction to seeing Neel's paintings for the first time: " 'a veritable inferno!' I said to myself, looking at the souls struggling on the canvases which surrounded us in her apartment...They are convulsively alive, their limbs seem to be in motion, their mouths, eyes, grimace and contort."
Two color lithographs and one etching by Alice Neel with two text illustrations.
Afterword by Raphael Soyer.

When George Macy founded the Limited Editions Club in 1929, his intention was clear: to re-publish the classics of world literature in volumes that exemplified the finest editing, illustration and book arts obtainable. Together, the almost 600 books produced by the Club comprise an unparalleled achievement. Individually, each book is a superbly crafted object, meant to endure the test of time. From Matisse and Picasso to de Kooning, Motherwell, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Ryman, Sean Scully, Jacob Lawrence, Balthus, and Cartier-Bresson. The list of those who have illustrated books expressly for the Club includes many of the most acclaimed artists of our era.
