FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Most of text in English and Hebrew with portions in English only. 64 pp. ; 48 color illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Kehinde Wiley's acclaimed World Stage series inserts into the language of old master portraiture the very ethnicities and ethnic iconography that western art has most excluded from it or that western art has portrayed solely in colonial Orientalist terms. Among the countries and continents he has previously depicted in this ambitious traveling epic are Brazil Africa China India and Sri Lanka. The rhetoric of Wiley's paintings is powerful in its compositional candor color palette and playfulness with constructions of visual meaning; as Paul D. Miller DJ Spooky notes "Wiley's canvas surfaces are a mirror reflection of America's unceasing search for new meanings from the ruins of the Old World of Europe and Africa." This volume includes a selection of new World Stage portraits focusing on contemporary youth from Jewish-Ethiopian-Israeli Jewish-Israeli and Arab-Israeli communities. . 2012. 1427613753 . D. A. P.

In 1943 he began selling books under his own name issuing 33 catalogues before his death in 1965.

1997réf. 9654New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Co 1997. One of 50 copies all on Fabriano Artistico paper each signed by the artist on the colophon. Page size: 4-7/8 inches x 4-7/8 inches; 31 individual leaves cards including "Joker" and 2 "Wild Cards" titlepage and colophon. Bound: housed in red cloth clamshell box by BookLab with title printed in silver gilt on front cover new. The calligraphy is by Jerry Kelly who has printed it letterpress at Kelly / Winterton Press. There are 59 etchings of body parts - some hand watercolored - by Susan Weil from her drawings that were blind-drawn on copper a technique that Weil has used for more than 50 years. The double-sided cards can be shuffled and dealt in any pattern which contributes to the humorous possibilities in the title pun. Further the cards can be re-arranged by simply turning them over creating a new figure. The simple line etchings become incredibly complicated upon closer inspection. Playful and sly touching and always imaginative Ms. Weil gives us her unique view of the human condition touching on varieties of emotions and stages of life with an artist's eye.

2001réf. 9656New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Co 2001. Portfolio of five etchings by Susan Weil signed by Weil on the colophon in pencil and initialed by her with the print number in pencil on each print. Printed on Japanese Gampi paper chine colle on Hahnemuhle Copper paper by Peter Pettengill at Wingate Studio. The etchings are taken from re-strikes of the Rembrandt Self-Portrait etchings purchased by Susan Weil while studying art in Paris at the Academie Julien in the 1940's. For this suite she has cut up the etchings and collaged them to achieve the images herein. The images were made from photogravue plates made by Jon Goodman. Ms. Weil has been experimenting with the use of images made from blueprint paper since 1951 when she and her then husband Robert Rauschenberg were working at Black Mountain College. Her use of collage has dated from this time as well. She has obviously has made these mediums her own. Vincent FitzGerald & Co unknown books

réf. H4406Paris: Hermann 1971. Paperback. Very Good. First printings 1939-1971 mainly in very good condition of one of the most important contributions to 20th century mathematics. Also includes Amir D. Aczel's "The Artist and the Mathematician the story of Nicolas Bourbaki the Genius Mathematician who Never Existed" 2006 a book which establishes the greatness and enormous influence of "Bourbaki" as the roots of "New Math" and including its effect on literature and the Oulipo Group. 30 fascicules: the project was ongoing but volumes came out sporadically in the decades after including revised editions of earlier volumes and additional chapters to previous volumes. This set is from the library of Walter Noll a well known mathematician who was a long time professor at CMU. In an interview Noll stated 'I have been accused of being too "Bourbakistic". I plead guilty. I believe the work of Bourbaki was the most important contribution to mathematics in the 20'th century. Bourbaki was not a single individual but a group some of whose members I met personally.' Clifford Truesdell the biographer of Noll wrote that 'Paris brought to Walter his first contact with the work of N. Bourbaki. He saved enough money to buy all the volumes of the Elements de Mathematiques yet published; later he studied some of the volumes systematically. In the Spring and Summer of 1950 Walter acquired "Certificats d'Etudes Superieures" through three examinations at the Sorbonne' 1993. Most volumes bear Noll's signature and the early ones confirm that he acquired them in 1950. The volumes are in very good condition and includes errata slips and other loosely laid in instructions and supplementary material for some volumes. Condition problems are here noted: No. II has light wear to spine XI lacks a third of its spine paper light loss to bottom of front cover no. XII has light loss to spine ends. Most of the missing volumes can be readily acquired online the only troublesome one might be no. IV. The Bourbaki collective whose membership was kept secret had a rule limiting the age of any member to 50 or younger which meant that there was an entire turnover of authors by the late 1950s and again by the 1970s. The Bourbaki group was known for its rigour and adversity to the free-flowing instinctive styles of Poincaré and his followers. The first volumes in first editions are practically unobtainable.

1904réf. Pro4PROUST Jeanne WEIL 1849-1905 5th December 1904 original period film print. Round photography 159 cm diameter mounted on thick paper frame in the photographer's name.Tiny spot on lower margin of the mounting small stainStamp on verso from collection Suzy Mante-Proust collection One of Jeanne Weil Proust's last portraits less than a year before her death This portrait was taken on December 5th 1904. At this time aged 56 years old Proust's mother has been a widow for a year. The translation of his son's The Bible of Amiens was published that same year. She died of nephritis a year later on September 26 1905. Nadar did process her portrait and removed the shadows and various flaws on her face. Michel Schneider notes that the narrator's mother in the Search is obviously inspired by the mother of the author himself. Jeanne Proust was born Jeanne Weil in 1849 from a Jewish family of the enlightened bourgeoisie. Much has been said about the intellectual complicity that united her with elder son. Marcel Proust who during his mother's lifetime wrote only beautifulthings in the spirit of the time Pleasures and Days will not become the novelist of the Search until after the death his mother an event that has somehow freed his creation. In the novel the grief he felt at his death is shifted to that of the grandmother and that of Albertine. In the Search Mom doesn't die she is also mentioned more than 500 times. Provenance: -Proust Family -Suzy Mante-Proust only daughter of Robert Proust by descent -Patricia Mante-Proust granddaughter of Suzy Mante-Proust by descent References: Nadar repr. p. 32 in full.

2002réf. 9651New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Co. 2002. One of 20 copies all on special paper handmade by Paul Wong at Dieu Donne Papermill each signed and numbered on the colophon by Susan Weil. The artist has titled signed numbered and dated each print as well at the bottom in pencil. Page size: 16 x 16 inches; 6 images plus colophon. Housed in orange silk custom-made clamshell box with inset of blueprint image by the artist of broken glasses printed in white on blue fabric box made by Priscilla Spitler at Hands on Bookbinding new. The colophon was printed by Daniel Keleher at Wild Carrot Letterpress. Vincent FitzGerald & Company did the collage work. The prints are described by the publisher as follows: 1 blueprint image on cover; 2 "Umbrella" photograph which puts the umbrella structure directly on the paper; 3 "Secrets" A collaged blueprint. These private words are layered then cut in strips and woven. The back of the strips are water colored red reflecting slightly. 4 "Grace's Lace" The lace squares are treated with chemicals for a brown print and developed with ultraviolet light. This is mounted on handmade paper which has been water colored pale gray. 5 "Catenary" This is a blueprint collage. The two blueprint hands hold a copper string. The handmade paper is water colored pale green. 6 "Woven Wineglasses" This is a photograph collage. Several direct wineglass images are simply woven into a box form making this study of water and shadows into an abstraction. 7 "Haphazard" This is a formal blue print configuration of glass rectangles. The haphazard quality comes from the unpredictability of the beautiful breaks in the glass. Susan Weil returns to a medium she used in the late 1940's and early 1950's with her then husband Robert Rauschenberg at Black Mountain College where they had studied with Josef Albers. Carla Schulz-Hoffman notes in her article on Susan Weil in the exhibition catalogue MIND'S EYE 1989 the origins of this art form. In subsequent visits to Black Mountain they began experimenting with blueprint paper. Rauschenberg writes "Sue and I experimented with light-sensitive papers partly because of their low cost.". Schulz-Hoffman writes "In 1951 their son Christopher was born and in that same year 'Life' magazine published a three page article including reproductions of their spectacular 'Blueprints'. Similar to Man Ray's rayographs the blueprints used blueprint-paper and a sunray lamp to capture life-sized silhouettes." She notes "For this reason it is not always possible to credit one particular individual with the discovery of innovations which would prove decisive in precipitating the fall of Abstract Expressionism and in shaping the course which the entire New York School would eventually take. Although many of the results of Weil's productive collaborations with Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns cannot be attributed exclusively to one or another of these artists nevertheless a typically one-sided art historical scholarship tends to ignore Weil or consign her a marginal role.". As well as blueprint images Weil began to use collage in an especially creative way. Her complete mastery of these techniques can be seen in these images. Vincent FitzGerald & Co. unknown books
