Este livro \u00e9 a terceira e mais recente vers\u00e3o do primeiro <\/span> livro <\/span>do artista, publicado em 1960. Herman de Vries tem mais de uma centena de livros publicados. \u00c9 na ind\u00fastria do livro um equivalente \u00f3bvio para as pinturas brancas de Rauschenberg (1951) e a composi\u00e7\u00e3o 4’33”<\/em> de John Cage (1952).<\/span><\/p>\n A hist\u00f3ria deste livro remonta a 1960. Membro do grupo Zero, mas tamb\u00e9m atra\u00eddo pelo conceito budista de vazio, herman de vries havia realizado pinturas monocrom\u00e1ticas <\/span>brancas <\/span>quando publicou em Arnhem um livreto de vinte p\u00e1ginas. Ele n\u00e3o tinha t\u00edtulo, sua capa era branca e as p\u00e1ginas n\u00e3o eram impressas. Apenas um curto poema famoso no final, em quatro l\u00ednguas, “o <\/span>branco \u00e9<\/span> superabundante”. Este livro-manifesto ganhou outra vers\u00e3o em 1962 sob a brancura do t\u00edtulo: duzentas p\u00e1ginas em branco, quatro colagens brancas do artista e uma introdu\u00e7\u00e3o, totalmente vazia, do poeta JC van Schagen. Editado cinco c\u00f3pias apenas por MJ Israel em Arnhem, ser\u00e1 seguido em 1967 por uma segunda edi\u00e7\u00e3o, “revista”, wit weiss: duzentos e cinquenta p\u00e1ginas em branco em formato de bolso, quinhentos exemplares, publicado por Hansj\u00f6rg Mayer em Stuttgart. Como elementos impressos havia <\/span>apenas<\/span>: autor, t\u00edtulo e editor na capa, a men\u00e7\u00e3o da introdu\u00e7\u00e3o e seu autor na primeira p\u00e1gina, o colof\u00e3o na \u00faltima p\u00e1gina. Ce livre est la troisi\u00e8me et derni\u00e8re version du premier livre d\u2019artiste publi\u00e9 en 1960 par herman de vries, qui en a aujourd\u2019hui plus d\u2019une centaine \u00e0 son actif. Il est, dans le domaine du livre, un manifeste \u00e9quivalent aux White Paintings de Rauschenberg (1951) et \u00e0 4\u201933\u2019\u2019 de John Cage (1952).<\/p>\n L\u2019histoire de ce livre remonte \u00e0 1960. Alors proche du groupe Zero, mais \u00e9galement attir\u00e9 par la conception bouddhiste du vide, herman de vries venait de r\u00e9aliser des monochromes blancs quand il \u00e9dite lui-m\u00eame \u00e0 arnhem un fascicule de vingt pages. Il n\u2019a pas de titre, sa couverture est vierge et les pages ne sont pas imprim\u00e9es. Seul un bref po\u00e8me final c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, en quatre langues, la surabondance du blanc : \u00ab wit is overdaad \u00bb. Ce livre-manifeste va conna\u00eetre une autre version, en 1962, sous le titre wit : deux cents pages blanches, quatre collages blancs de l\u2019artiste et une introduction, totalement vide, du po\u00e8te J. C. van Schagen. \u00c9dit\u00e9e \u00e0 cinq exemplaires seulement \u00e0 arnhem par M. J. Israel, cette publication sera suivie en 1967 d\u2019une seconde \u00e9dition, \u00ab revue \u00bb, wit weiss : deux cent cinquante pages blanches, au format de poche, en cinq cents exemplaires, publi\u00e9e chez Hansj\u00f6rg Mayer, \u00e0 Stuttgart. Seuls \u00e9l\u00e9ments imprim\u00e9s : auteur, titre et \u00e9diteur sur la couverture, mention de l\u2019introduction et de son auteur sur la toute premi\u00e8re page, colophon sur la derni\u00e8re page. This book is the third and final version of the first artist\u2019s book published in 1960 by herman de vries, who is currently the author of more than one hundred publications. This is like the White Paintings by Rauschenberg (1951) and 4\u201933\u201d by John Cage (1952) in book form.<\/p>\n The story of this book dates back to 1960. Closely associated with the Zero Group, but also drawn to the buddhist concept of emptiness, herman de vries had just produced a series of white monochromes when he self-published a twenty-page booklet in Arnhem. It had no title, its cover was blank and its pages were unprinted. It contained nothing but a short final poem celebrating, in four languages, the superabundance of white: \u201cwit is overdaad\u201d. In 1962, this manifesto appeared in another version, now entitled wit: two hundred blank pages, four white collages by the artist and an introduction, itself completely blank, by the poet J. C. van Schagen, published in arnhem in only five copies by M. J. Israel. It was followed in 1967 by a second \u201crevised\u201d edition, wit weiss: two hundred and fifty blank pages, pocket-sized, in five hundred copies, published by Hansj\u00f6rg Mayer in Stuttgart. The only printed elements were the artist\u2019s name, the title and the publisher\u2019s name on the cover, the word \u201cintroduction\u201d and the name of its author on the very first page and a colophon on the final page. In 1980 the Artists Press in Berne published the \u201cthird revised edition\u201d, in a larger format and with more pages. The original title wit was translated into english and japanese and into sanskrit with a word that means \u201cwhite\u201d in the sense of bright, pure, immaculate. The title itself does not appear on the book, which remains completely blank. It is printed with the paratext on a broad strip of paper in the form of a detachable publicity strip. The inside flap contains a brief statement initially dating back to the 1962 edition, stating that this book incorporates all aspects of reality. Of the five thousand copies advertised, only a hundred were published. It is this last edition, the most radical, which is republished here, the only addition being the french translation of the statement.

\nEm 1980 foi publicado pelo Artists Press em Berna, em um formato maior, com mais p\u00e1ginas, a “terceira edi\u00e7\u00e3o revisada.” O t\u00edtulo original <\/span>“wit” foi<\/span> traduzido para o Ingl\u00eas, Japon\u00eas, bem como uma palavra s\u00e2nscrita que significa “branco” no sentido de brilhante, puro, imaculado. Mas este t\u00edtulo n\u00e3o aparece no livro, perfeitamente branco. Foi impresso como um paratexto sobre uma ampla cinta de papel, no lugar da sobrecapa remov\u00edvel. Na aba interna, pode-se ler uma breve declara\u00e7\u00e3o cuja reda\u00e7\u00e3o remonta \u00e0 edi\u00e7\u00e3o de 1962, que afirma que este \u00e9 um livro total e cont\u00e9m todos os aspectos da realidade. Dos cinco mil exemplares anunciados, apenas uma centena foram publicados. \u00c9 esta \u00faltima edi\u00e7\u00e3o, a mais radical, que \u00e9 reeditada aqui, com o \u00fanico acr\u00e9scimo da tradu\u00e7\u00e3o francesa da declara\u00e7\u00e3o. herman de vries, em 1\u00ba de abril de 2012, comentou sobre o seu livro, enfatizando a import\u00e2ncia da v\u00edrgula final:
\nbranco \u00e9 branco
\n0 = 0
\nsem nome
\nsem ideia
\nnem mesmo o vazio,<\/span><\/p>\n
\nEn 1980 para\u00eet chez Artists Press, \u00e0 Berne, sous un format plus grand, avec davantage de pages, la \u00ab troisi\u00e8me \u00e9dition revue \u00bb. Le titre originel wit est traduit en anglais, en japonais ainsi qu\u2019en sanskrit d\u2019un mot qui signifie \u00ab blanc \u00bb, au sens de brillant, pur, immacul\u00e9. Mais ce titre ne figure pas sur le livre, parfaitement blanc. Il est imprim\u00e9, avec le paratexte, sur une large bande de papier qui tient lieu de bandeau d\u00e9tachable. Sur le rabat int\u00e9rieur, on peut lire une courte d\u00e9claration dont la premi\u00e8re r\u00e9daction remonte \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9dition de 1962 et qui affirme que ce livre total contient tous les aspects de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Sur les cinq mille exemplaires annonc\u00e9s, seule une centaine sera publi\u00e9e. C\u2019est cette derni\u00e8re \u00e9dition, la plus radicale, qui est reprise ici, avec pour seul ajout la traduction en fran\u00e7ais de la d\u00e9claration. herman de vries, le 1er avril 2012, commente ainsi son livre, en insistant sur l\u2019importance de la virgule finale :<\/p>\nblanc est blanc
\n0 = 0
\npas de nom
\npas d\u2019id\u00e9e
\npas m\u00eame le vide,<\/div>\n
\nOn 1 april 2012, herman de vries wrote of his book, insisting on the importance of the final comma:<\/p>\nwhite is white
\n0 = 0
\nno name
\nno idea
\nnot even emptiness,<\/div>\n<\/div>\nhttp:\/\/www.editions-zedele.net\/reprint\/wit-white.html<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
