22560. AUSTRALIAN MUSIC LITERATURE. BRENNAN, Christopher.

Musicopoematographoscope. Prose-Verse-Poster-Algerbraic-Symbolico-Riddle. 1981. 34pp. Hardcover. Large Folio. Good condition. Two works by Christopher Brennan reproduced in manuscript facsimile, previously never published. Brennan, working at the NSW public library and under the influence of his favourite poet: Mallarme, produced the works as a gesture of defiance to his friends, critics and the unimpressed Australian public who wanted poetry to be more 'Australian'. Produced in 1897, they represent a unique flowering of European Avant-garde art in colonial Australia. Following the example of Mallarme, the works attempt a synthesis of the arts, especially poetry, music and graphic design. They are fine examples of Brennan's wit and ingenuity and of his exquisite handwriting. Introduced by Axel Clark.
