Poster: Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge
New York: Artcraft Litho. & Ptg. Co 1955. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in black grey and brown on white stock measuring 22 1/8" x 14 1/8" 56cm x 35.75cm. Faint diagonal crease and some foxing to margins at upper left corner with some very faint foxing on verso; unbacked; Near Fine.<br /> <br /> Poster for an off-Broadway production of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge which Shahn had seen during a rehearsal and found "very powerful very moving." "The central figures in this poster closely resemble the tender gouple in Shahn's 1968 lithograph Memories of many nights of love in the Rilke Portfolio. However the two are clearly taken from different drawings. Here again is an example of how Shahn convincingly reused favored images in different contexts. The lettering of the play's title illustrates the integral role of Shahn's calligraphy played in many of his compositions particularly as contrasted with the dull perfection of the machine-lettered message below" PRESCOTT 163.

One of 60 copies hand-numbered in Roman Numerals this numbered LII and printed on Grande Arches handmade pure rag vergé paper. Eight Ben Shahn offset lithographs after pochoir prints 11 3/4" x 15 1/4" and twenty-six page book resting in original matching sturdy clamshell box. Each print with protective wrap-around tissue-guard housed in its own titled wraps folder with short descriptive text below. Book: Folio. 26 1pp. Printed paper-covered boards with red and black lettering on cover. Frontispiece b/w photograph showing Ben Shahn and M. Crampe. With one color and three b/w photographic reproductions. Includes essays by Bernarda Bryson Shahn Egal Feldman and Charles Westheimer as well as the letter "J'Accuse" by Emile Zola in Dreyfus' defense addressed to French President Félix Faure. The letter appeared in the Parisian newspaper "L'Aurore" on 13 January 1898. Letter in French with English translation. Remarkable portfolio in brand new condition still in publisher's box. Pochoir prints: 1 Captain Alfred Dreyfus an exemplary officer and member of the French General Staff who being a Jew was made scapegoat and condemned for a treasonable act that he did not commit. 2 Major Armand-Auguste-Ferdinand-Marie Mercier du Paty de Clam. There could not have been a worse choice for a fair preliminary interrogation of Dreyfus than a blundering and erratic busybody who felt himself honored by the assignment. A man of fertile and cruel imagination he had the soul of a medieval inquisitor. He was a violent anti-Semite. 3 Fernad Labori the lawyer represented an anomaly in French legal circles: a lonely voice crying out for justice in a corrupt world. Like his famous clients Zola Picquart and Dreyfus he was the subject of vicious attacks - including an attempted assassination. Like them he attained the stature of a moral hero in the United States. He was a handsome man full of vitality with "lungs of steel." 4 Georges Picquart was widely recognized as one of France's most promising young officers. Calm clear-eyed with slightly ironical honesty a brainy dreamer of a type much more common among artists than soldiers he loved music spoke German English and Spanish with equal fluency and excelled in mathematics and the military arts. It was to Picquart that Dreyfus was to owe his life Picquart destroying his own in the process. 5 The Experts. The handwriting specialists accused by Zola of conspiracy and fraud. 6 Marie-Charles-Ferdinand-Walsin-Esterhazy. The son of a French General of an illegitimate branch of the Hungarian Esterhazys was the man who actually peddled the French military secrets to the German military attaché in Paris. He was so utterly bored by his bourgeois world that he attempted to find relief in heroism and knavery. He was a gambler and adventurer but without purpose a man possessed of a fantastic and sardonic humour. 7 Labori and Picquart remained unwilling to accept any final accommodation by the courts less than the full revision of the guilty verdicts. 8 Paleologue and demange the one a witness the other an honored lawyer defender of Dreyfus.

First Edition/First Printing. 216 pages. Exhibition Monograph. One of the greatest art books of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by MOMA: Oversize-volume format. Linen cloth boards with gilt titles embossed on cover and spine as issued. Art by various artists a Who's Who of late-19th century Impressionist and early to mid-20th century Modernist art. Text by curator John Elderfield. List of Plates and Artists appended at the end.

Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Museum of Modern Art MOMA in 1983. Presents "The Modern Drawing". A rich and rewarding sampling from the more than 6000 pieces in the MOMA's Permanent Collection at the time of publication. It selectively showcases the range and genius of artists in works "in the traditional drawing mediums - pencil ink charcoal - but also watercolor pastel papier colles and other related forms. These are classics of their kind among the greatest of all modern drawings: Arp Brancusi Cezanne Ernst Johns Van Gogh Gorky Grosz Kandinsky Klee Malevich Marin Matisse Miro Picasso Pollock Rauschenberg Schwitters and Seurat among many others" MOMA . In the case of a figure like Picasso perhaps the greatest artist of the 20th century the foundation as well as the achievement of his entire oeuvre is rooted in his "sculpture-cum-drawing" aesthetics and practice. An indispensable guide. An absolute "must-have" title for Modern art collectors. This copy is quite special: It was the personal copy of the great artist/photographer Ben Shahn indicated as such by the "Ex Libris" bookplate that is neatly and discreetly pasted on the corner of the front free endpaper. This title is a great art book. This is the only such copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 100 color plates. Some of the greatest artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. A fine copy. . ISBN 0870703021. Museum Of Modern Art hardcover
