"In awarding Octavio Paz the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy said that Paz’s work 'seems to incorporate, interpret, and reconstrue major existential questions-death, time, love, and reality.' Paz dedicated his poem Sight and Touch to his dear friend, the Franco-Polish artist Balthus. Balthus reciprocated with three illustrations for this Limited Editions Club book and prints. The poem is about light, 'a wavering river that sketches its doubts and turns them to certainties.' Writes Paz, 'Light is time thinking about itself.' The poem is presented in the original Spanish, in English and in French" (Publisher).

Provenance: Property from a Southfield, MI private collector. Literature: "A life-sized sculpture of James Joyce will be placed and unveiled on the writer's grave at Fluntern Cemetery in Zurich, Switzerland, today, a date known to the literary world as Bloomsday. It was on June 16 that Joyce's spiraling story of "Ulysses" and Leopold Bloom occurs. The bronze monument to Joyce, who died in 1941, is a joint gift of Lee Nordness, New York art dealer, and Milton Hebald, an American sculptor. Mr. Nordness visited Joyce's grave in 1948 and said he was stunned to find it was distinguished only by a flat metal marker. In 1962 he asked the writer's son, George Joyce, in Munich, if he might donate a portrait monument. Mr. Joyce agreed provided that he could approve of the sculptor. Mr. Hebald, long an enthusiast of Joyce, agreed to the commission and donated his time. The City of Zurich, at George Joyce's request, exhumed the bodies of James Joyce and his wife-buried in separate sections of the cemetery and placed them in a special area side by side. The expense of moving the bodies was a gift of the city. Mr. Nordness said recently: "This is probably the most satisfying project I have ever worked on in my life. At last a great work of art will mark the memory of the greatest literary spokesman of our century."" The New York Times, June 16, 1966. Dimensions: H 17.5" W 9" Depth 7"

Provenance: Property from a Southfield, MI private collector. Literature: "A life-sized sculpture of James Joyce will be placed and unveiled on the writer's grave at Fluntern Cemetery in Zurich, Switzerland, today, a date known to the literary world as Bloomsday. It was on June 16 that Joyce's spiraling story of "Ulysses" and Leopold Bloom occurs. The bronze monument to Joyce, who died in 1941, is a joint gift of Lee Nordness, New York art dealer, and Milton Hebald, an American sculptor. Mr. Nordness visited Joyce's grave in 1948 and said he was stunned to find it was distinguished only by a flat metal marker. In 1962 he asked the writer's son, George Joyce, in Munich, if he might donate a portrait monument. Mr. Joyce agreed provided that he could approve of the sculptor. Mr. Hebald, long an enthusiast of Joyce, agreed to the commission and donated his time. The City of Zurich, at George Joyce's request, exhumed the bodies of James Joyce and his wife-buried in separate sections of the cemetery and placed them in a special area side by side. The expense of moving the bodies was a gift of the city. Mr. Nordness said recently: "This is probably the most satisfying project I have ever worked on in my life. At last a great work of art will mark the memory of the greatest literary spokesman of our century."" The New York Times, June 16, 1966. Dimensions: H 17.5" W 9" Depth 7"
