2011réf. 87596Yale University Press Distribution . New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 192 pages; 229 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; American modernist John Marin 1870–1953 worked prolifically in watercolor etching and oil during a career that spanned more than 50 years. It was the medium of watercolor however that encouraged him in his development of a bold original style that is both contemporary and authentically American. Marin’s improvisational approach to color paint handling perspective and movement situated him as a leading figure in modern art and helped influence the Abstract Expressionist movement. John Marin’s Watercolors is the first book to present the Art Institute of Chicago’s impressive collection of his works in its entirety ranging from early images rooted in traditional practice to more experimental compositions. It explores the artist’s working method his modernist vision as it developed through etching and into watercolor and his intuitive investigation of the inherent properties of his watercolor to craft a new avant-garde methodology. The works are organized chronologically and grouped according to the sites where they were painted including New York City France and the Tyrol the Maine coastline and the New Mexico desert. Marin had a strong regard for the presentation of his watercolors and a section illuminates how he chose frames and mounts for each work. The Art Institute’s significant collection of Marin’s original frames and mounts were bequeathed to the museum along with some 50 watercolors by legendary photographer dealer and collector Alfred Stieglitz. Marin’s and Stieglitz’s attitudes toward presentation are discussed and the frames are documented with photographic and written descriptions. . 2011. 0300166370 .

1720réf. 171149Paris: Saugrain l'aîné 1720. Population in the ancien régime Second and revised edition of this census of France following the death of Louis XIV. Saugrain's work provides the number of households in virtually every town and commune: the work "allows one to estimate with only a small margin of error the population of France and its distribution" Pounds p. 93 Claude-Marin Saugrain 1679-1750 seems to have been primarily employed in the Paris book trade. Although his census was not financed by the government Saugrain drew heavily on the individual population reports of Louis's Intendants forerunners of the modern French préfets. The first edition was published in 1709. 2 vols in 1 quarto 241 x 192 mm. Woodcut vignette to title pages woodcut initials head- and tailpieces engraved armorial headpiece to p. 3. Recently rebound using old mottled calf spine panelled and with tooled ornamentation in gilt raised bands and brown morocco label covers with triple-rule panel in blind edges red.

réf. 012718Marin Cureau de la Chambre, L'art de connoistre les hommes & Le Système de l'âme, seconde partie de l'art de connoistre les hommes. Paris, Jacques d'Allin, 1662-1664. 2 vol. In-4, [16]-471-[1]p & [27 y compris le front. et le priv.]-[1bl]-523-[7]p. Edition originale des deux volumes, avec titre renouvelé pour le premier. Le premier volume fut en effet imprimé et vendu en 1659 par Pierre Rocolet, mort le 18 janvier 1662. On peut donc supposer que Jacques d'Allin a racheté le stock pour le remettre en vente, certainement avec l'aval de Cureau de la Chambre qui a donc édité chez lui le second volume. Il est amusant de voir que le premier volume fut dédié au célèbre Nicolas Fouquet dont la disgrâce eut lieu le 5 septembre 1661, soit avant la remise en vente du tome 1. Le second volume est dédié à Louis XIV. Notre exemplaire comporte trois spécificités. Tout d'abord la page de titre du second, mentionnant « seconde partie de l'art de connoistre les hommes ». Si l'ouvrage est bien connu comme étant une suite et que des références anciennes le présentent comme tel, nous n'avons, à ce jour, trouvé aucun autre exemplaire avec une telle page de titre, bien que celle du tome 1 ait la mention de « première partie » dès 1659. Ensuite, par voie de conséquence, les volumes sont bien tomés 1 & 2. Nous n'avons pas trouvé non plus trace d'un exemplaire d'un l'un ou l'autre volume portant la mention d'un tome sur le dos. Enfin, les deux volumes, bien qu'ayant une reliure légèrement différente, portent un ex-libris d'époque « De Marolles ». Les deux premières spécificités et la qualité du papier (à grandes marges et globalement très blanc) nous font penser qu'il s'agit forcément d'un exemplaire donné par l'auteur à un de ses proches. Nous pensons donc qu'il s'agit vraisemblablement de Michel de Marolles (1600-1681), malgré le côté enfantin de l'écriture. En effet, Marolles possédait une des plus belles bibliothèques de son temps. Elle est citée dans l'ouvrage d'Albert de la Fizelière, Rymaille sur les plus célèbres bibliothèques de Paris en 1649 (Paris, Auguste Aubry, 1869. P.100-102, n°201). Cette bibliothèque reçut notamment des ouvrages de nombreux auteurs de son époque dont Marolles fit la liste. Cette liste a été publiée dans ses mémoires et on y trouve Marin Cureau de la Chambre et son fils Pierre, abbé de la Chambre (Mémoire de Michel de Marolles. Amsterdam, 1755. Tome III, p.245). Rappelons d'ailleurs que l'abbé de la Chambre fut l'exécuteur testamentaire de Michel de Marolles. Rappelons aussi que Marolles est un des grands traducteurs du XVIIe siècle et surtout un des plus grands collectionneurs d'estampes. Sa collection donna naissance au Cabinet des Estampes de la BnF. Notons deux petites corrections manuscrite dans le tome 1 (p.233 & 461) qu'on ne retrouve pas sur les deux exemplaires de la BnF. Reliure pleine basane d'époque, dos à nerfs orné, tranches mouchetées, manques aux coiffes et coins du tome 2. Les deux reliures sont légèrement différentes mais sortent assurément du même atelier (la roulette sur les coupes est identique). Papier resté globalement très blancs, quelques cahiers un peu jaunis. Rare exemplaire.

1665réf. 19485Paris: Jacques d’Allin 1665. Contemporary mottled calf spine and label gilt edges sprinkled red. Ownership inscriptions on the title and verso one dated 1674. Bookplate of “Pitfirrane.” In very good condition. Second edition of this pioneering work in neuropsychology. The author attempts to explain the guiding principles of human behavior and argues that life processes are responses to linking images that are innate to the organism. The text describes cognition in all living things including plants natural instinct and the functions of the soul. Cureau de la Chambre’s assertion that even inanimate vegetation has the faculties of thought and soul is unique; he claims that “everything which is living knows and all that which knows is living.” He goes on to classify cognition as either the “vegetative faculty” or the “natural faculty” the former being the body’s passive and innate mode the latter purposeful behavior resulting from intelligence. He acknowledges the Divine role in both: God designs organisms to function effectively without active intelligence but also gives free will to some. Marin Cureau de la Chambre 1594-1669 was a French physician. He served as royal physician to Louis XIII and Louis XIV and wrote numerous books on human and animal passions light digestion and occult practice. Peter Bayle called him “one of the most illustrious 17th century followers of Aristotle. Despite his groundbreaking work in the field of psychology he was basically forgotten to the history of medicine.

ScarceOf 180 etchings catalogued by Zigrosser 103 were done by Marin in Europe between 1905 and 1910. Of these many were not editioned or exist only as trial proofs. Of the ones which were editioned the editions are often very small in many cases under 10 but some were done in editions of 25 to 50 one the Meaux Cathedral was printed by the Gazette de Beaux Arts in a large edition probably about 500. All of the European prints are fairly traditional in treating the subjects realistically but Marin's turn to Modernism is evident in Zigrosser 104 an etching of the Brooklyn Bridge the first print he did after returning to America in 1911. unknown

Contemporary mottled calf expertly rebacked to style spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece Rare first edition of an important work of optics and the musical nature of the refraction of color. La Chambre a protégé of Cardinal de Richelieu served as physician to Chancellor Seguier and Louis XIII and entered the Academie Royale in 1666. The present work was instrumental in the development of French mathematician Pierre de Fermat's eponymous principle as well as the experiments by Newton which led to his publication of Opticks in 1704. Following Aristotle in deriving a link between the color spectrum and musical theory La Chambre theorized all colors being encompasses within white light and arranged colors over two octaves with the seven colors of Aristotle at successive fourths fifths and octaves. Thus arranged symmetrically the "scale" could be read in either direction both up and down with white as the highest or lowest notes. La Chambre hoped to establish a universal theory of color and musical harmony; i.e. if a musical interval was dissonant the colors it represented would similarly clash. In Newton's Opticks this parallel between the color spectrum and a musical scale was further refined. A second edition of this work would be published in 1662.
