Gurdjieff, G. I. Meetings with Remarkable Men. E. P. Dutton & Company, 1969 (Later Printing). Softbound. '"Contemporary civilization has destroyed the soul of literature,"' Gurdjieff reports being told by an elderly Persian intellectual in one of the many encounters recounted in this book, '"as of everything else to which it has turned its gracious attention.'" Incredible Deco-inspired cover by 'left-handed designer' Seymour Chwast, who Steven Heller notes is known for 'his ability to wed sophistication to pop and pop to old and new vernaculars,' and who here is given remarkable license by Dutton, extending to his hand lettering of the book's price, serial number, and publisher's name.
