ABECEDA



"In Nezval’s Abeceda, a cycle of rhymes based on the shapes of letters, I tried to create a 'typofoto' of a purely abstract and poetic nature, setting into graphic poetry what Nezval set into verbal poetry in his verse, both being poems evoking the magic signs of the alphabet." - Karel Teige

The letters 'D' to 'Z' can be found here. One of the 2000 first edition prints can be bought here for 4134,72€. Is wish I had the money.
