The Four Different Covers

Written By: George Leite

For this issue of Circle were designed and hand printed in five color silk-screen by Bezalel Schatz. Palestinian artist whose paintings have been shown in the major galleries of the world. Bezalel Schatz (son of the founder of the Bezalel Art School and museum in Jerusalem) is at present working on a book which will be a landmark in fine book publication. Using as text "Into the Night Life"by Henry Miller, the book is being done entirely by hand in silk screen, over 200 colors will be used and the writing itself will be reproduced directly from Miller's handwriting. Although still in production, the book has caused considerable interest among those who have seen it. On completion, the San Francisco museum of art will have an exhibit of the book, showing the original paintings, sketches, silk screens and the entire process to the finished volume. In the forthcoming issue of Circle we hope to reproduce an excerpt from the book as a sample of what can be done in artistic book publication.
