(Fischl, Eric)illus. ANNIE, GWEN, LILLY, PAM AND TULIP by Jamaica Kincaid. American Livre de Peintre 16. Whitney Museum, NY, 1986. Edition of 145 copies, signed by Fischl and Kincaid. Oversize folio, black cloth, slipcase in green cloth, 28 pp., text and nine lithographs, five in color. Fine throughout. "Fischl's illustrations perfectly match the exotic heat of the tale and its latent sexuality. The prints are variosly folded, tipped-in, and bound to echo the tale's unexpected turnings. He brgins in black and white, presenting the five as if at some camp overnight. He moves on to luxuriant colors and suggestive scenes, showing them tempted to leave each other for the unknown."
