330 .. $a 'Stefan et Franciszka Themerson et Gaberbocchus' presents the exceptional qualities
of Stefan and Franciszka Themerson's Gaberbocchus Press. The Themersons, a Polish-born,
British couple, combined the disciplines of philosopher, writer, painter, illustrator,
graphic designer, film-maker and publisher, produced publications that are remarkable
in every sense of the word. 'There is a madness about various Gaberbocchus books which
is the spice of life, an ingredient somewhat lacking in the world of impeccable book
production', wrote a critic in 1956. 'Not best-sellers, but best-lookers' was how
Stefan and Franciszka Themerson formulated the intention underlying their books. All
of them are based on three significant characteristics: improvised techniques and
materials, experiment with word and image and the imaginative interpretation of their
content. With this biography of Gaberbocchus Press, translator Walter van der Star
and graphic designer Piet Gerards (here in co-operation with Stephan de Smet) have
fulfilled a long-standing ambition of the publishing house, Huis Clos. Sixty titles
published between 1948 and 1979 are described. Every title is included, but we have
chosen to concentrate our selection on the most defining and visually striking books,
paying particular attention to the engagement of form with content. A special section
is devoted to the links of Gaberbocchus Press with the Netherlands. The Themersons
corresponded and in some cases maintained close ties with, among others: Jaco Groot,
W.F. Hermans, Nicolaas Matsier, Erik van Zuylen, K. Schippers and Rudy Kousbroek.
Jasia Reichardt and Nick Wadley, who have preserved the legacy of the Themersons for
posterity in such an exemplary manner, each contributed an important article
