réf. 16-5572New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. Gouache in 4 colors on board.66 x 48 cm. Witold Gordon was a Polish-born American Art Deco painter best known for his murals in Radio City Music Hall completed in 1932. He painted a 6000 square foot mural for the 1939 New York World's Fair and a series of New Yorker covers depicting the city in its recent past. He also designed the poster for the original Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! .Gordon was born in Warsaw Poland in 1885 and studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After he finished his studies he moved to New York. He worked with Donald Deskey in the design of Radio City Music Hall where two of his murals are exhibited. He illustrated books and designed the poster for the Olympic Games in Lake Placid NY in 1933. In 1939 he created a painting for the New York Worlds' Fair. He traveled throughout the South and produced a series of paintings with the name "American Scene" which was exhibited in 1941 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. During his travels he painted in Gouache storefronts and housefronts that he felt showed the true face of America. In 1934 he was commissioned by Conde Nast to paint a series of "New York Shops" New York Shops you Never See which were published in Vanity Fair Magazine in July of 1934. In 1932 when Georgia O'Keefe accepted the commission to paint a mural in the Ladies' Room in Radio City Music Hall and abandoned it at the advice of her husband Alfred Steiglitz who said "Ms. O'Keefe does NOT do bathrooms!" Witold Gordon was given the commission and painted two murals for Deskey's masterpiece.Witold Gordon died in 1968.1943."Free men cannot start a war but once it is started they can fight on in defeat. Herd men followers of a leader cannot do that and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.”― John Steinbeck The Moon Is Down.The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form Of Mice and Men was his first. It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript published by Viking in 1942 Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception the book was a remarkable public success outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on saying he “did not care for The Moon is Down’s politics.” Serlin known for his production of “Life with Father” accepted the challenge believing Steinbeck’s play would attract a large audience. “The Moon is Down” premiered on Broadway in April 1942 starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was “trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season” while the critical consensus was that “Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies and ultimately too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.

1938réf. 145913New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1938. First edition second printing of this famed Hemingway anthology containing his only published play as well as the first appearance in book form of The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Night Before Battle. Octavo original publisher's cloth. Association copy inscribed on the pastedown by Carol Brown Steinbeck to her husband John Steinbeck "For John on his birthday. 1940 With love Carol." The recipient Nobel Prize-winning novelist John Steinbeck remains perhaps best-known for his 1939 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Grapes of Wrath. Throughout the course of his career Steinbeck authored 33 books including 16 novels six works of non-fiction and two collections of short stories most notably Tortilla Flat 1935 and Cannery Row 1945 East of Eden 1952 and Of Mice and Men 1937. Steinbeck and Hemingway did not know each other personally although they had a number of mutual friends. The only known correspondence between them is a letter sent by Steinbeck who in 1939 wrote to Hemingway to express his admiration for Hemingway’s writing technique in “The Butterfly and the Tank.” The letter led to Hemingway and Steinbeck's now-famous singular meeting in 1944 at Tim Costello’s restaurant in New York arranged by mutual friends at Hemingway’s request. Steinbeck married three times. He and his first wife Carol Janella Henning Brown married in January 1930 in Los Angeles and were divorced in 1942. Carole traveled with John when he wrote the Grapes of Wrath In Dubious Battle and Tortilla Flat assisting and supporting him in the writing process. Very good in a very good dust jacket. From the library of John Steinbeck. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. An exceptional association copy. The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories contains Hemingway's only full-length play The Fifth Column and 49 short stories. Many of the stories included in the collection appear in other collections including In Our Time Men Without Women Winner Take Nothing and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Some of the collection's important stories are rather short. It also includes some longer stories among them "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover
