Beyond Time and Place: Non-Realist Painting in the Nineteenth Century

Forest green cloth boards with gilt stamped spine lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with yellow and cream lettering. 228 pp. BW and some color illustrations. "The author describes and illustrates a tradition of nineteenth-century painting which he writes was 'a deep current running right through the century that had its source in the strange the imaginary and the fantastic. Often governed by that queen of all the faculties the imagination this 'alternative' tradition drew its eloquence from the individual's power of expression whether in silence or in a cry in dream or in waking clarity Goya with his extravagances was a contemporary of Louis David; the visionary Blake was a contemporary of Canova and his marbles.' The recurrent themes- nature and its horizons the individual and his depths sleep and its empire the elsewhere or the beyond woman and her faces light and shade- are traced from Goya Blake and Fuseli through many less obvious figures in the world of nineteenth-century art to Whistler to Munch to Klimt." -Jacket.

Buttner Philippe and Franziska Lentzsch
Magritte Dietrich Rousseau: Visionare Sachlichkeit
Zurich: Scheidegger & Spiess 2018. Paperback. New in shinkwrap. Turquoise softcover with BW-illustration and white lettering. 96 pp. 55 color illustrations. The development of abstraction was a central process of modern art. But even artists who orientated themselves on the stylistic devices of figurative art influenced modernity considerably. This is illustrated by masterly - and sometimes seldom shown - works from the Kunsthaus Zürich collection which are brought together in this book. It thematizes the reception of such representational art as part of the collection history of the museum. The selection of important positions from 1890 to 1965 includes representatives of the naive the New Objectivity Dadaism and Surrealism among them artists as diverse as Arnold Böcklin Salvador Dalí Adolf Dietrich René Magritte Henri Rousseau and Félix Vallotton. Together they have the motivation to continue to offer image spaces that seem plausible to the eye. However it is no longer about realism but about the primacy of the imagination: a "visionary objectivity." -First Search. Scheidegger & Spiess paperback books

Jacques Villon 1875-1963 à la lumière du fonds d'Espic de Ginestet 3 Volumes
Toulouse: Universite de Toulouse 2005. Softcover. All VG. Doctoral thesis. 3 volumes identically bound with acetate covers and black cloth spines. 1157 pages across the 3 volumes. Volume I: 428 pp. with no illustrations the main thesis. Volume II: pp. 429 - 1019; documents appendices bw photos. Volume III: The works of Villon listed and pictured. The works studied constitute the period from 1947 to 1963. It retains 943 letters from Villon to Espic and attached documents: biographical historiographic theoretical. The letters and documents are reproduced in the 2nd volume. These sources contribute to a better understanding of the production of the artist as a whole. The first part deals with the correspondence the guiding thread. Analysis description and methodological propositions are stated and lead to a reflection on the relations between the epistolary and the "writings of artists". Next comes a monographic study. The great stylistic passages of the graphic and painted work are studied. The role of Villon in cubism the "Golden Section" is reconsidered. The transition to abstraction and the return to figuration around 1935 are evaluated. After 1945 Villon's representative abstraction embodies the reassuring values of a traditional French painting supported by the art market and the institutions of the Fourth Republic.

Princeton NJ: Halsman 1947. Photograph. Fine. ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS IMAGES OF EINSTEIN. Philippe Halsman's now iconic 1947 photograph of Einstein has become not only one of the most celebrated images of Einstein but one of the most recognizable images of the twentieth century. It was used to a 1966 US postage stamp of Einstein and was featured on the cover of Time Magazine honoring Einstein as the "Person of the Century".

 The photographer Halsman in his book Philippe Halsman: A Retrospective explained the circumstances of the photo: I admired Albert Einstein more than anyone I ever photographed not only as the genius who single-handedly had changed the foundation of modern physics but even more as a rare and idealistic human being.
 Personally I owed him an immense debt of gratitude. After the fall of France it was through his personal intervention that my name was added to the list of artists and scientists who in danger of being captured by the Nazis were given emergency visas to the United States.
 After my miraculous rescue I went to Princeton to thank Einstein and I remember vividly my first impression. Instead of a frail scientist I saw a deep-chested man with a resonant voice and a hearty laugh.
 The question of how to capture the essence of such a man in a portrait filled me with apprehension. Finally in 1947 I had the courage to bring on one of my visits my Halsman camera and a few floodlights. After tea I asked for permission to set up my lights in Einstein's study. The professor sat down and started peacefully working on his mathematical calculations. I took a few pictures. Ordinarily Einstein did not like photographers whom he called Lichtaffen light monkeys. But he cooperated because I was his guest and after all he had helped save me.
 Suddenly looking into my camera he started talking. He spoke about his despair that his formula E=mc2 and his letter to President Roosevelt had made the atomic bomb possible that his scientific search had resulted in the death of so many human beings. "Have you read" he asked "that powerful voices in the United States are demanding that the bomb be dropped on Russia now before the Russians have time to perfect their own" With my entire being I felt how much this infinitely good and compassionate man was suffering from the knowledge that he had helped to put in the hands of politicians a monstrous weapon of devastation and death.
 He grew silent. His eyes had a look of immense sadness. There was a question and a reproach in them.
 The spell of this moment almost paralyzed me. Then with an effort I released the shutter of my camera. Einstein looked up and I asked him "So you don't believe that there will ever be peace"
 "No" he answered. "As long as there will be man there will be wars." Silver prints of this photograph have been printed in different sizes over the years. This photograph is an official Halsman silver print with his copyright hand-stamp on the verso measuring approximately 10x13 inches. Princeton NJ. Silver print. Taken 1947; printed 1970s. Image: 13x10 inches 33x25.4 cm. Archivally matted and framed under UV-protecting museum glass to an overall size of 18.5x22 inches. A stunning piece in fine condition. Halsman unknown books
