Wiszniewski, Adrian (Scottish, contemporary), For Max, 1988, one of 10 artist's proofs, aside from the edition of 100, lettered A.P. on the colophon, not signed, 25 linocuts bound in paper wraps, all housed in cloth chemise and slipcase, sheet size 26.6 x 21.5 cm, published by the Paragon Press. In 1987 Charles Booth-Clibborn invited Wiszniewski to work on a solo project, the original idea had been to produce a work based on the life of Tristan Tzara and the other Surrealists poets but this was abandoned. Wiszniewski opted to produce a wordless pictorial narrative that told a tale of man finding a strange object in a box and setting out to discover its purpose. He drew directly onto the lino blocks with felt tip pen, completing all the works in a single day. The work is dedicated to his son Max who was born in 1987.
