About the exhibition: "The first full-scale American museum survey of the work of artist Kara Walker premieres at the Walker Art Center February 17-May 13 2007. Organized by Philippe Vergne Deputy Director and Chief Curator and Yasmil Raymond Assistant Curator at the Walker in close collaboration with the artist Kara Walker: My Complement My Enemy My Oppressor My Love features works ranging from her signature black-paper silhouettes to film animations to more than 100 works on paper. After its presentation at the Walker the exhibition will travel to the ARC/Musee d'art moderne de la ville de Paris June 20 - September 9 2007 the Whitney Museum of American Art New York October 11 2007-February 3 2008 and the Hammer Museum Los Angeles February 17-May 11 2008. Kara Walker is among the most complex and prolific American artists of her generation. Over the past decade she has gained national and international recognition for her room-size tableaux depicting historical narratives haunted by sexuality violence and subjugation but made using the genteel 18th-century art of cut-paper silhouettes. Set in the American South before the Civil War Walker's compositions play off stereotypes to portray often grotesquely life on the plantation where masters and mistresses and slave men women and children enact a subverted version of the past in an attempt to reconfigure their status and representation. Over the years the artist has used drawing painting colored-light projections writing shadow puppetry and most recently film animation to narrate her tales of romance sadism oppression and liberation. Walker's scenarios thwart conventional readings of a cohesive national history and expose the collective and ongoing psychological injury caused by the tragic legacy of slavery. Her work leads viewers through an aesthetic experience that evokes a critical understanding of the past and proposes an examination of contemporary racial and gender stereotypes." - Publisher.

Ma'arikh ha-ma'arakhot Survey of the Orders: Dictionarium absolutissimum

1629rif. 48838Paris: Antoine Vitré 1629. First edition. Hardcover. Good. Folio. Signed: a4 e2 A-3B6 3C4 = 298 leaves. 12 584pp. Paginated from right to left. Full title and imprint in both Hebrew and Latin with woodcut printer's device; title within decorative letterpress border; woodcut lettrines and head-pieces; printed marginalia. Text in two columns. Eighteenth-century calf scuffed especially at front cover; spine with raised bands and gilt morocco morocco labels; edges stained red; green silk ribbon marker. Title leaf skilfully mounted on eighteenth-century paper. Text crisp and clean with ample borders. Only edition of this rare and highly unusual Hebrew and Aramaic dictionary composed by the formerly Jewish convert to Catholicism Mordechai Cresque of Carpentras who derived his new name Philippus d'Aquin or Aquinas; 1578-1650 from the place of his baptism in Aquino Italy. Printed almost entirely in the fine bold rashi characters "grosse glose hebraicque" cut by Guillaume I Le Bé in 1592 only the vocalised quotations and the lemmata are in Le Bé's square Hebrew script. Apart from the Latin title dedication approbations a poetic encomium and the alpha-numeric leaf signatures the work is printed entirely in Hebrew characters. It ends with a short notice in Latin and Hebrew on the printing errors which are corrected on the last three pages. The author announces at the title that all Hebrew biblical and rabbinic-talmudic and Aramaic terms are to be found in Ma'arikh ha-Ma'arakhot including many that do not appear in any existing lexicons among Jews or Christians. D'Aquin notes in particular that rare and difficult terms in rabbinic and cabalistic literature along with obscure abbreviations are all clearly explained. "The work is called in Hebrew Maarik ha-maarikot i. e. "Survey of the orders" a term which in the plural is also applied to "battle-lines" Wolf 140 translates Disponens ordines sive acies. One cannot help wonder if there is not a connection with the political situation at the time when the Huguenot town of La Rochelle had to submit to the French Crown in 1628. The privilege for our book has "Données au Camp devant la Rochelle le 19. Septembre 1628" and the work is dedicated to Cardinal Richelieu whose conquest of La Rochelle is also extolled in a Hebrew poem by the author. But the types are also reminiscent of war: did not Le Bé cut them "après le siège de Paris pour passer l'ennui" see Carter & Vervliet p. 15. They were prominently displayed afterwards in Vitray's type-specimen of 1636" Smitskamp. Among the eleven scholars whose approbations grace the present volume are Gabriel Sionita 1577-1645; professor of Arabic and Syriac at the College de France; Gilbert Gaulmin 1585-1665; Orientalist; Denis Petau 1583-1652; Jesuit theologian; and Jean Morin 1591-1659; theologian and Orientalist. Morin offers quite extravagent praise: "nihil hactenus in eo studii genere comparandum vidit Europa." Provenance: A morocco label on the spine reads Me-izabin. Hirsch. Wolf Kola i. e. From the legacy of Hirsch. References: Baillet Jugement de Scavans 3 1685: 729. Fürst 1:47-48.
