Scope and Contents

This book describes the collage work that uses cake decorations called jimmies or jubbies to suggest the tiny brush strokes of pure color seen in pointillist paintings by Seurat and other Neo-impressionist artists. Cutts reprints the correspondence between him and the Arts Council of Great Britain concerning the remounting and reissuing of the work after many of the jimmies had falllen off the card. The handcolored additions are made to a printed page of Homage to Seurat. The Sackner Archive holds a copy of this edition with the jimmies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
