<B>Andre Levinson: Limited First American Edition of <I>The Story of Leon Bakst's Life</B></I></B></I> <B>with Bakst Watercolor Pasted In</B></I> (New York: Brentano's, 1922), first American edition, 240 pages, bound in vellum with brown titles, folio (11" x 14.75"). Number 216 of 250 numbered copies of the first American edition. Leon Bakst was a revolutionary Russian painter who mentored the likes of Marc Chagall. He was elected to the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1914. <I>The Story of Leon Bakst's Life</B></I> is a gorgeous and rare biography of Bakst written by Andre Levinson, himself a French art journalist. The book is profusely illustrated by Bakst, with over 50 color plates of Bakst's paintings. Most interesting is a 5" x 3.75" Bakst watercolor pasted down to the rear flyleaf that is not indigenous to the book. This original is a valuable bonus to this already extremely rare book, which is in very good condition. We can only find one auction record for this rare volume in the last twenty years.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
