Man Ray: American Artist by: Baldwin, Neil

Man Ray: American Artist
by: Baldwin, Neil

Softcover. NY, Da Capo Press, reprint, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 449 pages, b&w illustrations. Man Ray was the quintessential modernist figure - painter, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, poet, and philosopher. One of the most fascinating of the Surrealists who transformed the Paris art world during the 1920s, Man Ray was an enigma - a Dadaist who revered the Old Masters, an anarchist pursued by wealthy patrons. Driven to make his mark in as many art forms as possible, he struggled bitterly to win acceptance as a painter even as his skill as a photographer brought him world wide fame. Remainder line to bottom edge, otherwise clean.

George Herriman. Krazy Kat. The Complete Color Sundays 1935-1944
by: Braun, Alexander/George Herriman

Hardcover. NY, Taschen, 1st, 2025, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, A color facsimile of the complete pages of George Herriman's Krazy Kat 1935-44. One of the first comics to be considered a work of art, Krazy Kat delights with its characterization and visual-verbal creativity alongside the slapstick shenanigans between Krazy and Ignatz the mouse. This book comes with an illustrated introduction by Alexander Braun. The premise is simple: a black cat loves scheming a white mouse who incessantly throws bricks at the cat's head, which police dog Officer Pupp, secretly harboring a passionate love for the cat, tries to prevent. George Herriman endlessly plays with the above formula in his legendary newspaper strip Krazy Kat, published from 1913 until his death in 1944. Clean, bright copy, still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Kathe Kollwitz: The Art of Compassion
by: Kathe Kollwitz/Brenda D. Rix

Softcover. Art Gallery of Ontario, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 72 pages, exhibition catalog. Essay by Jay Clarke. Kathe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a leading 20th century German artist. Kollwitz's art was rooted in socialism and naturalism, and focused on the lives of the common people, usually working class women. Through her involvement in the sufferings of the poor in the slums of Berlin, her exposure to the horrors of two world wars, and the experience of living through several personal tragedies, she came to see herself as the "voice of suffering" and "an advocate" for the people. Among her preferred themes were motherhood, sacrifice, separation, oppression and death. She also created many moving self-portraits. Includes 45 reproductions (15 colour, and 30 b&w). Contents of the catalogue include: a brief history of the Stuttgart Kollwitz collection by the former curator Dr. Gunther Thiem.

Saul Steinberg Illuminations
by: Smith, Joel & Steinberg, Saul

Softcover. New Haven CT, Yale University Press, 1st, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, stiff card wrappers firm and clean; Binding tight; Pages bright, internally clean, no ownership markings or annotations, illustrated with color and b&w plates, 9.1 X 6.1 X 0.8 inches; 287 pages. Best known for his barbed and brilliant art for The New Yorker, Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) did much more. He executed public murals, designed fabrics and stage sets, was an inventive collagist and printmaker, and turned his magic touch to the fields of painting, sculpture, advertising, and even wartime propaganda. This is the first comprehensive look at Steinberg's extraordinary contribution to 20th-century art, which was that of a modern-day illuminator, putting word and image in play to create art that spoke to the eyes, and minds, of readers. Previously unseen sketches, documents, and printed matter from the artist's papers illustrate the essay, career chronology, and entries for 120 objects featured in this important book.

by: Cooper, Chris

Hardcover. Los Angeles, CA, Aperient Press, 4th printing, 2001, Book: Very Good, 220 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. Very clean, unmarked copy with only minor edgewear. Many full color illustrations and black & white sketches throughout. Tight copy. Yes, that's right, this fancy hardcover book reproduces tons of Coop's posters and stickers and thangs, all in color. Step right up. "While illustrating record covers and ads for Long Gone John Mermis of Sympathy for the Record Industry, Coop made the acquaintance of the popular poster artist Frank Kozik. With Frank's influence, Coop set off in a career direction that eventually put him on the same level enjoyed by the psychedelic poster artists (Griffin, Moscoso, Kelley & Mouse, etc.) three decades earlier. Doing poster work with name bands, like Rocket From The Crypt, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and the Lords of Acid, elevated Coop's public visibility, and with it his recognition. . But the number one, singular form of expression that regurgitated his name from ear-to-ear was his aptitude for emblematic imagery which began showing up on stickers. Common is the sight of plump female figures, in coy positions (sometimes femme devils), as pressure sensitive stickers, glaring off the back window of some young gentleman's primer grey old car (and a lot of new cars too). It is with this kind of exposure that the name Coop has come to typify art for many people who simply like visual stimuli. And, of course, this visual voice speaks just as clearly (but more permanently) in the form of tattoo design. As I mentioned in the beginning, Coop doesn't exploit the occult metaphysics of satanic malarkey. Why should he? This gifted wonder-boy is the devil himself." - from the forward by Robert Williams

Hardcover. New Haven, CT, Yale University Press, 1st, 2015, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 224 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very clean, like new copy still in publishers shrink wrap. Over 200 duotone images throughout. Tight copy. Born in Cork, Ireland, Frank Browne (1880-1960) was both a distinguished Jesuit and an accomplished photographer. At age 17, before commencing his studies for the priesthood, he embarked on a tour of Europe armed with a camera. Browne quickly discovered a strong affinity for photography, and continued to take photographs throughout his life. It was not until 1985, however-when Father Edward O'Donnell SJ discovered a large trunk in the Irish Jesuit Provincial's House and found it packed with negatives and photographs-that Browne was catapulted to international fame. Father Browne's remarkable life is recorded in the superb selection of images presented in this book. With wit and a sharp eye, he observed 20th-century Ireland; life as a Jesuit priest; his experience as a passenger on the first leg of the voyage of the Titanic in 1912; and his later travels throughout Europe, Egypt, Yemen, Ceylon, and Australia. This handsome, copiously illustrated volume offers a complete survey of the photographic work of an exceptional man.

Revenge of the Librariansby: Tom Gauld

Revenge of the Librarians
by: Tom Gauld

Hardcover. Drawn & Quarterly;, Hardcover in oblong decorated orange cloth covers. color comics/cartoons throughout. Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the willful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity!

Hardcover. NY, Marvel, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 248 pages. Collects Marvel Westerns from the 1960s: Marvel Comics has a long history of producing comics in the western genre, going back as far as the 1940s, before the company was even called Marvel. Some of their most popular gunfighters, like the Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid, and Kid Colt, even hung on well after the superhero explosion of the 1960s, but it's been a long time since Marvel put any effort into its western universe. In this volume they attempt to harken back to their cowboy glory days by publishing a four-issue series called Marvel Westerns, which combines classic 1960s stories by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with 21st-century interpretations of Marvel's classic western heroes. This hardcover contains the four issues of that series, along with some supplemental material.

His prolific output included some 1,300 paintings (compare this with Leonardo's twenty and Vermeer's thirty-six) as well as books of engravings, architectural drawings, and sketches. He also left a beautiful young wife, a vast personal fortune, a palatial house in Antwerp, and collections of old masters, antiquities, precious stones, and silver work. Clean copy.

Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazettaby: Frazetta, Frank; Mason, Edward [Editor]

Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta
by: Frazetta, Frank; Mason, Edward [Editor]

Hardcover. Underwood Books, 1st, 2008, Hardcover in a pictorial slipcase. Fantasy art's most popular painter was also one of the most popular comic book illustrators during the industry's golden age. Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta celebrates the rare and largely forgotten stories created five decades ago by this iconic artist. These jungle adventures, true-life tales of heroism, and dreamy love stories not only exhibit the skill of a master craftsman but also provide tantalizing glimpses of where the young artist's career would ultimately take him. This collection includes his complete Thunda tales and best romance works like "Untamed Love," "Empty Heart," "A Love of My Own," "The Wrong Road," and "Too Late for Love." These romance stories, often overlooked, feature some of Frazetta's finest works with shapely women, nude statues, and implied sensuality. Also featured are his heroic works such as Heroic Comics, White Indian, and the long-running series ME, alongside Squeeze Play, his one and only solo-drawn story for EC. Additionally, there are rare SF stories such as Captain Comet and Judy of the Jungle, along with his best and most obscure late 1940s works. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Sixties Fashion: From Less is More to Youthquakeby: Walford, Jonathan

Sixties Fashion: From Less is More to Youthquake
by: Walford, Jonathan

Hardcover. London, Thames & Hudson, 1st, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 208 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to dust jacket. Color and black and white pictures throughout. In the 1960s, fashion changed dramatically. At the end of the 1950s, Yves Saint Laurent was starting to look for new ways to define the female form; by the 1970s, styles, markets, materials, demographics, inspirations, and the very definition of fashion had been utterly transformed. Richly illustrated with contemporary imagery, including fashion shots, advertising, and magazine features, this is an essential sourcebook. The story begins with the new internationalism that changed the fashion landscape as New York, San Francisco, Florence, London, Madrid, Rome, and Hong Kong challenged the dominance of Paris haute couture. 306 illustrations, 176 in color.
