1957rif. 53749New York: Harry N. Abrams 1957. First edition. Hardcover. vg to near fine. Quarto. xxxviii 151pp. 1. Illustrated purple and red dust jacket. Beige cloth boards with illustration in black on the front cover black lettering on the spine. Illustrated endpapers. Original torn publisher's belly band laid in at the interior front cover. This unique copy contains two inscriptions to former president of Israel Zalman Shazar 1889-1974 in pen on the title page. One at the top is a 75th birthday gift inscription in Hebrew from a unidentified friend of Shazar and below it is another warm inscription from artist Marc Chagall in Yiddish dated 1964. Chagall writes: "In honor of the president and my good friend Z. Shazar with love Marc Chagall Jerusalem 1964". It can be assumed that Shazar's friend gave him the book as a gift and Marc Chagall who was present at the time also inscribed it to him. This monograph showcases Marc Chagall's graphic work from the years 1922-1957 and includes a total of 148 images reproducing the artist's work. Most images are in b/w with six in color and can be divided roughly into five major stages of Chagall's career: etchings for his autobiography - illustrations for Gogol's "Dead Souls" 1923-27 - etchings for La Fontaine's "Fables" 1927-30 - illustrations for the Bible - his post-war lithographs. All images are finely printed mostly in high quality offset with a few b/w images being lithographic. Dust jacket with some minor to light rubbing and creasing to extremities.

Pre-eminent modern artist Marc Chagall was nearly 70 when he began working on his first major stained glass projects during the mid-to-late 1950's. In 1959 he was commissioned to create a set of stained glass windows for Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. Upon completion the Jerusalem Windows enjoyed two short exhibitions in Paris and New York before their permanent installation in the synagogue in 1962. These twelve masterpieces in stained glass each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel are showcased in this lush folio which also includes two original lithographs Chagall created exclusively for this publication. Readers may observe the development of the windows through a procession of preparatory sketches in pencil ink and watercolor; the final models are represented on full page color plates 36 total. Additional commentary by Jean Leymarie explains the religious significance of each subject as well as Chagall's artistic intentions. An additional chapter details the assembly of the windows themselves and the book concludes with a selection of sketches and paintings related to the project. George Braziller unknown books

1969rif. 1203961969. First Edition. Signed. SENGHOR Lopold Sdar. lgie des Alizs. Lithographie Originale de Marc Chagall. Paris: ditions du Seuil 1969. Slim quarto five loose gatherings in original cream paper wrappers uncut and unopened original glassine. $2800.Limited first edition number 405 of only 450 copies of Senghor's lgie des Alizs Elegy for the Trade Winds with an original full-page three-color lithograph by Chagall signed and dated by him in 1974 on the title page. From the collection of Joseph Liverant a fellow Russian Jewish emigr and friend of Chagall.Internationally recognized poet politician and cultural theorist who served as the first president of Senegal Lopold Sdar Senghor avoided the Marxist and anti-Western ideology that had become popular in post-colonial Africa choosing instead to form a close relationship with France and the Western world. He was instrumental in the cultivation of postcolonial aesthetics and black African consciousness. His poetry reflects an ""all-embracing humanism which envisions the solidarity of all men with each nation making its contribution in its own special way to a 'universal civilization"" Albert S. Gerard. Critics continually point to his ability to synthesize elements of Western and African experience and to evoke universality in the imagery of his verse. ""Senghor is not merely a Frenchified African who tries to give exotic interest to his French poems; he is an African who uses the French language to express his African soul"" Ulli Beier. Chagall's wonderful illustration was printed by Fernand Mourlot who ran a lithography press in Paris where such greats as Braque Matisse Picasso Mir Lger and of course Chagall came to have their designs printed and to learn about this still nascent medium.
