FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 348 pages over 300 illus. 135 in color 4to. -- with a bonus offer--; Monet is one of the greatest Impressionists as well as being the most popular yet books about him have concentrated either on aesthetic or on social aspects of his work without attempting a synthesis. Here Virginia Spate provides a full interpretation of Monet's paintings examining the various ways in which they can be read; the tension between image and reality that energizes them; and the mysterious interactions between the work its exhibition promotion and sale and its reception both in public and in private. Based on a study of the artist's complete oeuvre his surviving letters and contemporary documentary material this is the fullest account available of a complex and influential man whose style changed and evolved considerably during his long career. Monet's often neglected figure paintings always of family or friends are analyzed alongside his landscapes which ranged from river scenes to steam-filled railway stations. Changes in his output in response to shifts in demand are linked to the new system of art dealers and to his financial situation. The France of Monet's youth and maturity is covered in depth especially the traumatic legacy of the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune; and his famous garden at Giverny is shown to be both a personal utopia and a vital part of his creative processes. This definitive treatment of a hugely important artist makes an indispensable contribution to the art history of Impressionism and the roots of modernism. 135 color and 165 b/w illustrations.

Lamarck, J B P A de Monet deBiblio.com

Considérations sur quelques faits applicables à la théorie du globe observés par M. Péron dans son voyage aux Terres Australes et sur quelques questions géologiques qui naissent de la connoissance de ces faits.

réf. 66970Paris Levrault Schoell et Cie. An XIII - 1805. 4to 27.5 x 21.3 cm. 27 pp. numbered 26-52. Original printed wrappers. = This work by the eminent French naturalist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck 1744-1829 is very important for two reasons. First it is the first work to contain observations on the geology of Australia in particular answering the question whether a higher sea-level in past geological time was or was not a global phenomenon. Lamarck received crucial information from the French naturalist and explorer François Péron 1775-1810 who was on board when the expedition by Baudin set sail with the ships Naturaliste and Geographe. Dispatched by Napoleon the aim of the expedition was to investigate and possibly claim the unknown South-Land before the British. Péron sent his data before he himself and the appointed geologists of Baudin's expedition published their "official" accounts. The second reason why this paper is important to the history of science is that it contains the first version of Lamarck's own "theory of the earth" forming the basis for his evolution-theory and showing Lamarck's way of thinking and thus why his colleagues and competitors frowned upon his work. As Frederick Gregory pointed out: "To Lamarck hypothetical reasoning was a necessary piece of a scientist's equipment. Certainly one must not abuse the judicious application of hypotheses by creating a theory out of mid air - Lamarck was not one to condone lack of attention to fact and detail. But to refuse to generalize at all beyond the immediate testimony of the facts was an equally faulty scientific procedure: I believe that the course of silence is good for nothing. Every effort to lift the veil which hides nature's operations from us is useful. A mediocre idea often gives birth to a better one and by force of trying one will perhaps obtain some success. All that is important in such circumstances is to give as certain only that which is clearly demonstrated'." Lamarck's Neptunean views were later proven to be wrong but they do form a basis for his famous theory of natural selection. Later challenged successfully by Darwin it now appears from gene-data that several aspects of Lamarck's theory may in fact be operational in natural selection. This paper was published in the famous Annales du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. With the original printed wrappers and accompanied by two other geological papers by Faujas-Saint-Fond Voyage géologique à Oberstein and by Vauclin Analyse des topazes de Saxe de Sibérie et du Brésil. Uncut. Wrappers a bit frayed at edges as usual with uncut items. Some scattered spotting otherwise a very good clean copy. F. Gregory J.-B.

1802réf. 91311Paris: MaillardChez l'AuteurAgasse 1802. Fine. ""Very rare first edition enriched with an autograph manuscript by Lamarck"" Maillard Chez l'Auteur Agasse Paris An x 1802 12.8 x 20.4 cm Relié First edition very scarce of this important work. Contemporary-style half speckled fawn calf binding smooth spine decorated with triple gilt fillets green shagreen title label small vellum corners marbled paper boards bookplate pasted onto a pastedown red edges modern binding. A restored loss to the left margin of the title page. Hydrogéologie contains Lamarcks geological observations gathered during his travels in Germany Hungary and France. Its principal merit lies in demonstrating the considerable importance of plants and animals as agents of geological transformation. It is in this work that the word biology appears for the first time on page 8 which Lamarck regarded as an appropriate term for the sciences of life. ""Lamarck's geology was closely connected with his work in other fields. His Hydrogéologie which grew out of a 1799 memoir presented to the Academy and his work in invertebrate paleontology was published in 1802. He originally intended it to be a much broader work as the manuscript shows It was to have been a terrestrial physics including meteorology geology and biology a term he coined. He had not only a sense of interrelation of fields but within geology a vision of the whole. He saw all of nature working according to similar principles : general natural tendencies producing gradual change over long periods of time with local circumstances explaining the irregularities. His approach to geology was similar to that in other sciences : concern with the general principles and contempt for those who interested themselves too much with the specifics"". Cf. Leslie J. Burlingame notice ""Lamarck"" in: D.S.B. A remarkable copy enriched with a 6-line autograph manuscript by Lamarck inserted between pp. 56 and 57 providing details on an ancient masonry discovered in the Somme department and attesting to an earlier shoreline: ""L'abbaye de Valoir près de l'Authie dépt. de la Somme conserve encore dans ses fondations et ses caves les restes d'une maconnerie tres ancienne soupconnée romaine dans lesquels on voit les anneaux pour amarer les batimens marins et des eperons de vaisseau accompagnés de beaucoup de petrifications ; ce qui prouve qu'alors c'etoit un quai ou arrivoient les eaux de la mer"" s.l.n.d. 1 p. oblong 16mo.
