Painted Prints: The Revelation of Color in Northern Renaissance & Baroque Engravings Etchings & Woodcuts by: Dackerman, Susan with an essay by Thomas Primeau

Painted Prints: The Revelation of Color in Northern Renaissance & Baroque Engravings Etchings & Woodcuts
by: Dackerman, Susan with an essay by Thomas Primeau

Hardcover. Baltimore Museum of Art/Pennsylvania State University Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 297 pages. 119 color illustrations and 10 b&w. With an essay by Thomas Primeau. Catalogue entries by Deborah Carton, Susan Dackerman, Richard S. Field, Katherine Crawford Luber, Elizabeth Mansfield, Walter S. Melion, Thomas Primeau and Robert Wheaton. An old master print with color is almost invariably regarded as a suspect object because the color is presumed to be a cosmetic addition made to compensate for deficiencies of design or condition. Painted Prints challenges this deeply entrenched assumption about the material and aesthetic structure of old master prints by showing that in many cases hand coloring is not a dubious supplement to a print but is instead an integral element augmenting its expressive power, beauty, and meaning. Clean, bright copy. NOTE: Due to size and weight, DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY.

A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol by: Dalton, David. (Text) McCabe, David. (Photographs)

A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol
by: Dalton, David. (Text) McCabe, David. (Photographs)

Hardcover. NY, Phaidon Press, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, translucent dust jacket, 240 pages. In late 1964 Andy Warhol commissioned young fashion photographer David McCabe to document his daily activities for one year. During the course of this project, whenever the artist called McCabe would come to meet him at The Factory, an opening, a party, a coffeeshop or any place where Warhol would decide that he wanted to be accompanied by the photographer and his camera. In the end, these images were never published, perhaps because they revealed more than the increasingly-famous Warhol was willing to share with the public. Hidden away for almost 40 years, the significant majority of these 400 duotone photos are now presented together for the first time to fulfill their original intention in an astounding tour de force of dynamic and often poignant realism: A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol. These images not only represent unique documentation of one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, but also provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the New York art world at a time when Pop art was at its peak. McCabe's photographs are accompanied by the entertaining descriptions and reminiscences of Factory insider David Dalton, one of Warhol's first assistants.

Matisse: The Books by: Lalaurie, Louise Rogers

Matisse: The Books
by: Lalaurie, Louise Rogers

Hardcover. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1st, 2020, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 320 pages. The livre d'artiste, or "artist's book," is among the most prized in rare book collections. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the greatest artists to work in this genre, and he created his most important during a period of intense personal and physical suffering. Brimming with powerful themes and imagery, these works are crucial to understanding Matisse's oeuvre. With deftness and sensitivity, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse by considering how in each volume, Matisse constructed an intriguing dialogue between word and image. Examining this page-by-page interplay, translating key sequences, and discussing the books' distinct themes and production histories, Lalaurie offers the thoughtful analysis these works deserve. Together Matisse's artist books reveal his deep engagement with questions of beauty and truth; his faith; his perspectives on aging, loss, and inspiration; and his relationship to his critics, the French art establishment, and the women in his life. In addition, Lalaurie illuminates Matisse's often misunderstood political affinities--though Matisse was vilified in his time for choosing to live in the collaborationist Vichy zone, his wartime books reveal a body of work that stands as a deeply personal statement of resistance. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Stuntman #1 Facsimile Editionby: Jack Kirby/Joe Simon

Stuntman #1 Facsimile Edition
by: Jack Kirby/Joe Simon

Softcover. PS Artbooks, reprint, 2024, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 56 pages. High-flying action and jaw-dropping stunts as legendary creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon create an entirely new non-super character. A daredevil stuntman is embroiled in circus stunts and movie directing, and it's all some of S&K's finest Golden Age work. Killer double-page action spreads akin to their work for Captain America in 1941-42. Features " Killer of the Big-Top," "The House of Madness," and "The Crime on Cauliflower Row," all by S&K. Plus "The Furnished Room" by Bill Draut (part of the Simon and Kirby Studio) and an adventure of Junior Genius by J. Keeler, a back up strip. Sadly, Stuntman came along after the war when superheroes were on the way out...even though he was not super-powered, but had more in common with Batman. He lasted for just two issues, and an ashcan third issue. Then his adventures were reprinted in Thrills of Tomorrow #19 and 20, in 1955. #19 even reused this exact cover in an attempted revival just before the Comics Code.

An Eames Primer
by: Eames Demetrios

Softcover. NY, Universe Publishing, 2nd pr., 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 272 pages illustrated in color and b&w. The first book to capture the philosophy and spirit behind the work of Charles and Ray Eames, An Eames Primer offers an in-depth look at the couple's prolific legacy--one that has placed them among the most important American designers of the twentieth century. Those who know one or two aspects of the Eameses' work are often surprised to learn just how far and vast their range extended. Yet throughout their myriad works, from architecture and furniture to exhibition and design and filmmaking, their core philosphy prevails. An Eames Primer is the first book to illuminate this seamless connection. Author Eames Demetrios explores the rich energy of the Eameses' world from a unique perspective, informed by his close relationship with Charles and Ray. He shares personal anecdotes, previously unpublished photos, and his extensive interviews with former friends and colleagues of the Eameses to make connections between the Eameses' influential philosophy and their widely admired work. For those unacquainted with the designers, the stories behind the design process will inform, entertain, and inspire, while readers with an extensive knowledge of the Eameses' work gain a deeper level of understanding their process.

by: Deitch, Gene

Softcover. Seattle, WA, Fantagraphics Books, 1st, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 160 pages. Softcover. A very clean, unmarked copy with only minor edgewear. Black and white illustrations throughout. At the age of 21, Gene Deitch discovered The Record Changer, a jazz fan magazine. Every jazz swinger in the '40s was called a "cat," so Gene Deitch created a cartoon feature titled "The Cat," which quickly became a fixture of the magazine. He also started drawing the covers, which graced almost every issue from 1945 to 1951. Deitch's stylistically virtuoso images exquisitely embodied the essence of the 1950s hipster, and was a visual paean to the joy of collecting records and appreciating jazz. The Cat on a Hot Thin Groove collects all of Deitch's Record Changer work in one gorgeous, coffee-table art book, with commentary and reminiscences by Deitch himself.

Hardcover. Seattle, University of Washington Press , 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 229 pages, illustrated in color and b&w. At first glance it may appear that this volume is one more in a line of celebratory tributes to the power of the industry, full of the colorful advertisements and optimistic tributes to the railroad as the builder of civilization across a majestic landscape. Nearly every page contains an illustration that invites quick perusal. But the text skillfully interprets the images and balances the story that railroads originally told about the region, one that boosted their properties and promoted settlement and travels along their lines . . . . The authors have effectively distilled a large body of historiography into one readable and engaging volume. Clean.
