RICHARDSON John.
Vie de Picasso: Vol.I (1881-1906).
<span>From 1950 to 1962, John Richardson lived near Picasso in France and was a friend of the artist. With a view to writing a biography, the acclaimed art historian kept a diary of their meetings. After Picasso's death, his widow Jacqueline collaborated in the preparation of this work, giving Richardson access to Picasso's studio and papers. <br><br>Volume one of this extraordinary biography establishes the complexity of Picasso's Spanish roots; his aversion to his native Malaga and his passion for Barcelona and Catalan "modernisme". Richardson introduces new material on the artist's early training in religious art; re-examines old legends to provide fresh insights into the artistic failures of Picasso's father as an impetus to his sons's triumphs; and includes portraits of Apollinaire, Max Jacob and Gertrude Stein, who made up "The Picasso Gang" in Paris during the "Blue" and "Rose" periods.</span> Paris, 1991 Editions du Chêne. 548 p., illustré, relié toile. 21 x 26

Richard Geldard Author; Robert Richardson Introduction
The Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great Barrington MA: Lindisfarne Books 2001. 2nd Printing. Trade Paperback. Like New. 8vo or 8� Medium Octavo: 7�" x 9�" tall. Double-U-Gee Cover Design; Jane Gifford Cover Photo. 196 pp. Clean fresh copy with very minor shelf wear on front and back cover crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: No one who has ever felt the life-changing pull of Emerson's enormous mind has ever doubted his power or his greatness; though we are often puzzled to know whether he is primarily a poet an essayist or a philosopher. Richard Geldard is not puzzled at all by this: he has written a book which plainly shows the essential Emerson to be a teacher the Socrates of Massachusetts a man with a message that we need to hear today. It is argued that previous generations 'beheld God and nature face to face' in contrast to modern life where he suggests people seem able only to see those things through the eyes of earlier generations. Thus the question is raised: '.why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition and a revelation to us and not the history of theirs' Emerson's life was devoted to showing how one may still attain an original that is to say an authentic relation to the universe. Geldard's book aims to focus and distill the famously diverse Emerson and put his central teachings within the scope of the modern reader.The previous edition of this book was titled The Esoteric Emerson: the Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. <br/> <br/> Lindisfarne Books paperback

Two black and white Kodak photographs are included printed in 1957 presumably from a negative of Robert Pullen's famous shots of the "Sea Dragon" taken just before its doomed maiden voyage. Letters: 14" x 8-1/2". Photographs:. <br/><br/>Who took the first aerial picture of Mount Everest after receiving express permission by stunning the Majarajah of Nepal with bi-plane aerobatics Richard Halliburton was a legendary American travel writer and adventurer. Reading stories of his feats and antics seem surreal - after all who flies an airplane upside down over the Taj Mahal Halliburton was born in January of 1900 in Brownsville Tennessee. Deciding at an early age not to settle down and grow old with a wife and family as the rest of his family and friends seemed to be doing. After graduating from Princeton Halliburton traveled on as many adventures as possible and published his first novel The Royal Road to Romance in 1925 at the tender age of 25. His first novel became a bestseller and was followed by more published adventures in 1927 and 1929. He enjoyed fame and adventures for a little over a decade before deciding in 1938 that his next grand feat would be to cross the Pacific ocean from Hong Kong to the San Francisco International Exposition in a Chinese Junk ship made expressly for his purposes. It is on this voyage that Halliburton and the entire crew of the Junk the "Sea Dragon" were lost at sea having gotten caught in a typhoon. In 1945 a 150-foot ship outline with Chinese lettering washed ashore in California this thought to possibly be some of the wreckage of the "Sea Dragon." Letter I: Halliburton describes the arrival in China and purpose of the expedition as well as his interest in junks stemming from a 1 ft. scale model he sailed as a child. He explains that he chose to use a junk for his journey because of their stability and notes that it is possible it will not be the smoothest ride. He quips: "If the junk should be small the storms violent and the voyage long - all the better. For if there is no hazard no battle where is the sport" He introduces the "friends" of the expedition to his crew of Captain John Welch Henry von Fehren "Bru" Potter among others. Halliburton also spends a significant amount of time discussing the war with China and Japan and the Japanese belief systems. Letter 2: The second letter discusses the search for an appropriate junk and the ultimate decision to build their own that could be modified for the journey. Working with the man said to be the best ship-builder in Hong Kong Mr. Fat Kau and the appropriation of a few more crew members a chef and a radio operator. Letter 3: The third letter posted from Canton desribes their taking the Sea Dragon out for a "shake down" cruise with Mr. Fat Kau as his guest who though a builder of ships had never sailed on one and with high seas nearly everyone aboard became seasick. Halliburton notes the dry deck despite the high waves and believes he was right about the Sea Dragon's sea-worthiness. Much of the rest of the letter is spent discussing Canton the disputes between the Chinese and Japanese the destruction the looters and other conditions in the city. Letter 4: After setting out on their voyage the Sea Dragon needed to return after only 2 days due to sickness on the boat. Though Halliburton seems only a trifle annoyed at the delay of their voyage he is excited enough to try again and leaves his readers with this: "In about another week we plan to leave again to slip away as quietly as possible and head east once more around the southern tip of Formosa - and straight on to Midway. If all goes well the next letter the fifth will carry an American stamp for Midway Island is American. When this the fourth letter reaches you we'll be a thousand miles along the way - I hope. Many thanks again for your interest and good will. Faithfully Richard Halliburton" The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition, Inc unknown

His first novel became a bestseller and was followed by more published adventures in 1927 and 1929. He enjoyed fame and adventures for a little over a decade before deciding in 1938 that his next grand feat would be to cross the Pacific ocean from Hong Kong to the San Francisco International Exposition in a Chinese Junk ship made expressly for his purposes. It is on this voyage that Halliburton and the entire crew of the Junk the "Sea Dragon" were lost at sea having gotten caught in a typhoon. In 1945 a 150-foot ship outline with Chinese lettering washed ashore in California this thought to possibly be some of the wreckage of the "Sea Dragon." Letter I: Halliburton describes the arrival in China and purpose of the expedition as well as his interest in junks stemming from a 1 ft. scale model he sailed as a child. He explains that he chose to use a junk for his journey because of their stability and notes that it is possible it will not be the smoothest ride. He quips: "If the junk should be small the storms violent and the voyage long - all the better. For if there is no hazard no battle where is the sport" He introduces the "friends" of the expedition to his crew of Captain John Welch Henry von Fehren "Bru" Potter among others. Halliburton also spends a significant amount of time discussing the war with China and Japan and the Japanese belief systems. Letter 2: The second letter discusses the search for an appropriate junk and the ultimate decision to build their own that could be modified for the journey. Working with the man said to be the best ship-builder in Hong Kong Mr. Fat Kau and the appropriation of a few more crew members a chef and a radio operator. Letter 3: The third letter posted from Canton desribes their taking the Sea Dragon out for a "shake down" cruise with Mr. Fat Kau as his guest who though a builder of ships had never sailed on one and with high seas nearly everyone aboard became seasick. Halliburton notes the dry deck despite the high waves and believes he was right about the Sea Dragon's sea-worthiness. Much of the rest of the letter is spent discussing Canton the disputes between the Chinese and Japanese the destruction the looters and other conditions in the city. Letter 4: After setting out on their voyage the Sea Dragon needed to return after only 2 days due to sickness on the boat. Though Halliburton seems only a trifle annoyed at the delay of their voyage he is excited enough to try again and leaves his readers with this: "In about another week we plan to leave again to slip away as quietly as possible and head east once more around the southern tip of Formosa - and straight on to Midway. If all goes well the next letter the fifth will carry an American stamp for Midway Island is American. When this the fourth letter reaches you we'll be a thousand miles along the way - I hope. Many thanks again for your interest and good will. Faithfully Richard Halliburton" The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition, Inc unknown books
