JAVIER LEIBIUSKY.
L'Immigration Judéo-Espagnole à Buenos-Aires: Histoire d'une commuunauté invisible, (1876-1930).
New French Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In French. 264 p. L'Immigration Judéo-Espagnole à Buenos-Aires: Histoire d'une commuunauté invisible, (1876-1930). History of the emigration of the Sephardis to Buenos Aires (Argentina), 1876-1930. "Quand on parle des Juifs argentins, nous pensons en général aux colonies agricoles installées et maintenues par le Baron Maurice de Hirsch à travers la Jewish Colonisation Association vers la fin du XIX? siècle. Composant près de 80% des Juifs argentins, la communauté ashkénaze est la plus connue et celle dont l'immigration a été la plus étudiée. Dans le présent ouvrage l'attention est mise sur les Judéo-espagnols d'Orient en tant que groupe à part entière qui mérite une étude dédiée et approfondie. Tous les travaux existants traitent le sujet « séfarade » comme s'il s'agissait d'un seul grand groupe homogène qui partage les mêmes traditions, la même culture. Néanmoins, il s'agit en fait de différents groupes bien distincts, originaires d'aires géographiques différentes, comme l'Afrique du nord, l'Empire ottoman (avec là encore des origines différentes dans l'Empire), l'Italie, le Proche et l'Extrême Orient, etc. L'ouvrage analysera les premières années du développement de ces communautés, les relations qui eurent lieu entre elles et les autres communautés juives, ainsi que leur adaptation à l'Argentine et à la vie sociale et culturelle de Buenos Aires. Notre travail commence en 1876 avec l'arrivée des premiers Juifs non-Ashkénazes en Argentine, les Marocains, à une période importante dans la jeune république où les portes sont grandes ouvertes pour accueillir les immigrants. Enfin, nous nous proposons d'essayer de comprendre la participation exclusive des Judéo-espagnols d'Orient dans le contexte non-ashkénaze argentin. Une minorité dans une minorité ; une communauté invisible.".

Jean-Louis Prat
Miro: Ceci est la couleur de mes rêves
Hardcover, 306 pages, Texte en Francais, 280 x 225 mm, tres bon etat, 3000 ill. en couleur / n/b. ISBN 9782711870783. Joan Miró is rightly considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Whether it is a sign, a colour, Miró brings out a poetic universe full of metamorphoses. Friend of many poets from Apollinaire to Jacques Prévert, he is very attracted by all forms of poetry. The surrealist manifesto will have great importance in his pictorial research. He considered that the dream is the expression of deep impulses that he could transcribe into an artistic form, a happy juxtaposition between reality and unreality. The chronological journey of the artist?s life over seven decades is retraced here: paintings, drawings, ceramics and sculptures rub shoulders in order to highlight an itinerary and a technical and stylistic evolution marked by incessant renewal (expressionist, retailer, surrealist, wild?). An anthology of prose texts and poems written by the poets with whom the artist was constantly associated, Louis Aragon, Tristan Tzara, Max Jacob, René Char, Jacques Dupin, accompanies this visual journey. The catalogue thus (re)discovers the immense and varied creation of Joan Miró, a painter committed to all the important questions of the 20th century. Exhibition at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais from October 3, 2018 to February 4, 2019.

John Goss (1894-1953), Communist baritone associated with Peter Warlock and Frederick Delius [Spanish Civil War; Left Book Club;
Liverpool concerts for ‘Spain Relief’ 1939: John Goss Communist baritone. Two Typed Letters Signed to ‘Mr. Cameron’ and one Typed Card Signed to ‘Miss Cameron’ on behalf of the Musician’s Group of the Left Book Club.
The letters to ‘Mr. Cameron’ dated 21 December 1938 and 9 January 1939; both from 35a Woburn Square WC1 London. The card undated early 1939 with London postmark. See his entry in Grove’s. Each with his firm signature 'John Goss'. The two letters in fair condition on aged and creased paper folded for postage the first of the two with a short closed tear to one edge. The card in good condition lightly aged. ONE: TLS to ‘Mr. Cameron’ 21 December 1938. 1p 4to. Cameron’s letter ‘to the convener of the Musician’s Group of the Left Book Club’ has been passed to him. ‘I do not think there are any members of the Group that have sufficient drawing power to make it worth your while bringing them all the way from London.’ With regard to ‘stars’ he advises him to ‘write direct to anyone you want. If you write to a number of them you are more than likely to get one or two acceptances. I am sure Mr. A.K. Holland could make you out a list of names and I can add the addresses if you don’t know them.’ He concludes: ‘It is not difficult to get artists to perform for Spain Relief these days but in most cases I think that such people prefer not to be approached through a third party.’ TWO: TLS to ‘Mr. Cameron 9 January 1939. 1p 4to. ‘I shall be very happy indeed to come to Liverpool for your concert on February 15th. I don’t flatter myself that this will make any real difference to its success.’ He hopes Cameron has ‘written to all the famous people you can think of. If you are too shy to do this get Holland to do it. Musicians will do anything for a critic!’ The letter ends: ‘I take it you have a first-class accompanist.’ THREE: TCS addressed to ‘Miss Cameron / 28 Queens Road / HOYLAKE / Cheshire.’ With stamp and smudged postmark. Headed in red ink: ‘SPANISH AND CELEBRITY CONCERT. / Central Hall Liverpool. Tuesday March 7th.’ A follow-up concert to the one of 15 February 1939. He will be happy to come to Liverpool for the concert and explains ‘I was unable to let you know sooner as an earlier tentative enquiry for the same date elsewhere had to be decided.’ The letters to ‘Mr. Cameron’ dated 21 December 1938 and 9 January 1939; both from 35a Woburn Square, WC1 [London]. The card unknown

JONI - BINDING BY THE MASTER ARTIST/FORGER I.F. JONI.
RARE WOODEN BOOK COVERS DECORATED IN THE MEDIEVAL STYLE OF THE TAVOLETTE DI BICCHERNA OF SIENA. PROBABLY CREATED BY ICILIO FREDERICO JONI.
Two decorated wooden panels, painted in polychrome tempera, gold gilt, and gesso, with a leather spine. 330 x 250 mm. Elaborately decorated on one board with four armorial shields, surrounded by incised stamps on gilt fields and gilt floral sprays on a blue field. The text below the shields reads: "INVENTARIO DELLE COSE DEL LA SAGRESTIA DEL DUOMO EDE LALTRE COSE MOBILI DELU OPARA RIFATTO LASICO DA VOLTA AL TENPO DEL UENE RABILE UOMO FRANCESCHO DI PAOLO TADDEI ANNO D. 1475." [Roughly translated: Inventory of the things in the sacristy of the Duomo Ede. Taken from the last by the incomparable Frances Taddei in the year 1475. The front board has a lovely Rennaisance Madonna and Child, with "Samis de Petris" below. This de may have been an attempt to attribute the painting to the artist Sano di Pietro. Beveled edges. Brass bosses at each corner. Very good. RARE. A contemporary of the famed "Spanish Forger", Icilio Federico Joni (1866-1946) was born in Siena. As a young man he worked in the shop of a gilder and art restorer. He began, as a sideline, to produce imitations of fifteenth century Sienese painted wooden panel book covers. He based these tempera painted wooden panels on the Tavolette in the Archivio di Stato, which he probably never saw in person. It is quite clear from his autobiography (1932) that he was proud of his skill and his brilliant imitations of the ancient art of Siena. He considered them original art rather than 'forgeries'. There are probably no more than twenty examples of his work extant today. From the Bridwell Library, SMU: "A skilled producer of imitation "Gothic" altarpieces, he received a commission c. 1890 to create a book cover in imitation of those found on Siena's Tavole di Biccherna, the elaborately gilt and painted fourteenth-century tax registers. Without ever seeing a real Biccherna, he established a lucrative business of faking Biccherna covers. Joni later boasted of incidents in which the local police were alerted to books purportedly stolen from Siena Cathedral or the state archives, only to discover that they were by Joni. A number of book collectors were deceived by Joni's creations, and several of his works were published as Gothic originals. Today, Joni's forgeries are highly valued in their own right. In his autobiography Joni discussed his methods for antiquing the covers by mixing soot, turmeric, chrome yellow, and gilding gesso with gum arabic to produce the patina on the gold. The bosses were bathed in ammonia and the clasp plates were dipped in iodine, "which rusted them in just the right way." Note that Joni's boards are simply glued onto a rough leather spine; he apparently did not know how to replicate a fifteenth-century sewing structure." Research in America has clarified Joni's role as a restorer in such works as Piermatteo d'Amelia's Annunciation (Gardner Museum) and the half-length figures in Fra Angelico's Annunciation (Mrs E. Ford Collection). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! Front Case 1/R
