One of Estévez's Finest Artist Books

Idilio de Ruth / Idylls of Ruth

Notes: 4 leaves. 7-1/2 by 10 inches. One of 8 copies.

One of the first books by Rolando Estévez after he left Ediciones El Vigía to form Ediciones El Fortín. The text is a single poem by the Costa Rican writer, in Spanish and English translation by Ruth Behar. The poem is laser-printed on a sheet of paper, folded twice and inserted into a pocket.

The book is closer to the unique book-objects that Estévez sometimes makes than his typical edition work. Most of the lettering and illustrations are done by hand (excepting the poem and the colophon) or with woodblock type used as stamps. The illustrations are handpainted paper collages. The covers are stiff paper coated with sand from the Bellamar neighborhood of Matanzas.
