CELMINS, VIJA. B.1938.
MILOSZ, CZESLAW. 1911-2004. The View. New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1985.
Folio (383 x 285 mm). 4 mezzotints by Celmins, and letterpress "Copernican View of the Universe." Publisher's morocco backed boards, uncut, original slipcase.
Provenance: Rodman C. Rockefeller (note to colophon).
LIMITED EDITION SIGNED BY CELMINS AND MILOSZ, one of 120 copies with four mezzotints by Celmins. Born in Lithuania, she studied in Los Angeles in the 1960s, and started producing depictions of the night sky in the 1970s, using found imagery of the night sky. In his Nobel Lecture is 1980, Milosz remarks "[the poet] is the one who flies above the Earth and looks at it from above but at the same time sees it in every detail. This double vision may be a metaphor of the poet's vocation." Vija's mezzotints, depictions of celestial bodies and landscapes that blur the line between realism and abstraction, elegantly complement Milosz's understanding of the role of the poet.
