1940réf. 161224Hollywood: Joseph Jaasgur Photography 1940. Vintage photograph of Charlie Chaplin and his fourth and final wife Oona O'Neil circa mid-1940s. Photograph taken by noted photographer Joseph Jasgur with Jasgur's photography stamp on the verso along with an annotation in what appears to be Jasgur's hand noting "Charles 'Charlie Chaplain' sic and wife Oona O'Neil at L.A. Tennis Club / 1945-'47." In 1943 Chaplin then 54 married 18-year old Oona O'Neil daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neil only two weeks after a highly-publicized and speculative paternity suit was filed against Chaplin by aspiring actress Joan Barry. The overwhelmingly negative press regarding the suit aided by an aggressively hostile J. Edgar Hoover was only further compounded by the marriage and his career would never fully recover. Chaplin and O'Neil had eight children during their 18-year marriage and remained married until Chaplin's death in 1977 Joseph Jasgur was a celebrity photographer during Hollywood's Golden Age and is best remembered today for his 1946 photographs of a 19-year-old Marilyn Monroe then known as Norma Jean Dougherty. 9.25 x 7 inches.

1938réf. 47856Los Angeles: NP 1938. First edition. Ring_bound. vg. Quarto. 183 individual single-sided mimeographed leaves 22 additional leaves of photographic negative prints. Scarce mimeographed document printed from typescript with all leaves and negatives three-hole punched along the left side housed in modern black three-ring binder 11.5x 11". The pagination throughout is only on a per lecture basis and is non-continuous. Printed pages with occasional manuscript corrections. The versos of most of the leaves throughout contain mounted small cutouts from b/w photographic prints either reproducing relevant images from art history or being original technical hand-drawings by Charlot serving as relevant illustrated figures on the rectos for the corresponding text pages opposite 275 in total. An additional thirteen of these images have been directly mimeographed onto the rectos. The 22 leaves of compiled photographic negatives found at the rear of the binder contain most of the same images seen throughout and are organized according to lecture. In 1938 Walt Disney invited the French-born Mexican-American artist Jean Charlot 1898-1979 to deliver a series of eight lectures on art history and technique to the staff of the Disney Animation Studios over the course of two months from April 12th - May 31st of that year. Though Charlot was adamant against having any kind of lecture plan as he states in his opening remarks each of the lectures were still always themed Natural vision composition two-dimensional composition color and subject planes and space etc. Each was accompanied by a series of slides reproduced and mounted here both of Charlot's original impromptu drawings and reproductions of historic works of art. Fortunately a stenographer or recording device was present and took down each lecture including the questions and answers posed by his audience. This extremely scarce mimeographed binder serves as a complete and systematic documentation of those important and significant lectures. At the time of these lectures the company had just come off the massive and groundbreaking success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 and was at work on the shorts "Mickey's Toothache" and the ultimately scrapped "Pluto's Robot Twin". Although there does not seem to be direct evidence or documentation pointing to the affect these lectures ultimately had on the future work of the studio its diffuse influence can be surmised. At the very least these in depth lectures provided a continued boost to the morale and confidence of the Disney staff in placing the relatively new and sometimes belittled art form of animated films on the vast continuum of the fine arts from prehistoric times through classical antiquity and until the present. This reassured the staff of their visual storytelling abilities and the relevance of their chosen work. These assertions have since been reinforced by the the fact that in the wake of these lectures a number of these animators stayed in contact with Charlot and over the years since have asserted the personal impact these lectures had on their outlook. Although the discussions here range widely from all historical periods of art incorporate examples from the relevant work of many of the most famous international figures and touch upon countless technical and specific qualities of the fine arts arguably the most significant and unique aspect the text is Charlot's discussions of art in Mexico where he lived most of the time beginning in 1921. Specifically the art of Mexican murals and the work of Jose Guadeloupe Posada nearly forgotten during this period who had just recently died in 1913 were of interest to Charlot. It is known that he began buying Posada prints and the original printing blocks from Posada's print shop reviving interest which has never abated. Though we could find no specific reference to Posada in any of his lectures the speaker does incorporate Rivera's murals noting in passing that "a man like Rivera has absolutely to shun all textural qualities all brush stroke qualities because all things appear at a distance" Lecture V p. 12. Going further into the influence of Mexico's divergent populations and its effect on art Charlot describes in his following lecture "This static rectangle to me became assimilated to the Indian for a number of reasons and one of them is that the true verticals and true horizontals are admirably fitted to the Indian character; the Indian is always in close contact with the ground which is a true horizontal and the man in squatting takes a very different shape and different proportions from the White man. If you have a white man sitting on a chair you have those two little tooth picks under him and he has no correct relation with the so-called Mother Earth" Lecture VI p. 7. Only in the final lecture does Charlot finally speak on animation humbly noting "I told you the other time I would talk on animation tonight and I felt silly the whole week long because after all you are the people who know most about it; but it will be a good result to me by clearing my mind about it and I hope you won't hiss" Lecture VIII p. 1. The lecturer then goes on to sympathetically compare a close-up of Grumpy's face to a portrait by Raphael. According to Ruel Denny in "A Tale of Two Studios: Artist Jeans Charlot in Walt Disney's Atelier" taken from Feast of Strangers: Selected Prose and Poetry 1999 these lectures although never published "are provocative because they provide a partial but unique record of five concurrent artistic encounters in the twentieth-century: first the intellectual collaboration in artistic research by Disney and Charlot; second the encounter between the fine artist Charlot and a group of craftsmen in popular art; third the connections and disconnections between the visual arts of the pre-cinematic period and those of the cinematic age; four the marriage between cinematic animation techniques of storytelling and our inherited and folkloristic narrative of the oral and print traditions; and five the migration into modern media from primordial sources and picturizations of anthropomorphized animal figures". Some leaves throughout with minor age toning along edges as well as some occasional light stains or adhesive residue from the images pasted on the rectos. Some of the pasted on plates are loosening from the original drying adhesive and it is clear that in a very few instances images have come loose or are missing. Binder and interior in very good condition overall. Extremely scarce. Provinence: It is not known how many of these scarce mimeographed copies were printed but there is another known copy held in the collections of the University of Hawaii the state where Charlot spent his final years. It is known that the content of these lectures was never formally published. This copy bears the name of American television actor comedian and Soupy Sales sidekick Frank Nastasi 1923 - 2004 at the top of the title leaf. There is no evidence of Nastasi's connection to Disney or that he had ever attended these lectures he would have been 15 years old at the time so it is not known how he came to be in possesion of the piece.

There is a plate from a previous owner on the front free end page. Pencil marks in the body of the book. Solid binding. A red hardback book with the title gilted on a black square on the spine. There is a yellow dust jacket with two illustrations on the front cover. Pages: 8 vii-xv 1-328 40. Contains at least fifty black-and-white illustrations and photographs. This is the first book-length study of the Early Colonial manuscript painting of Mexico - a fusion of the arts of Pre-Conquest America and fifteenth-century Spain. Former studies mainly in the hands of anthropologists and historians have been limited by their disciplines. This book says in effect that the paintings are works of art worthy to stand beside the jades and terra cottas now so sought after by collectors. The definitions of the styles of the various Colonial schools are demonstrations of survival of Pre-Conquest schools and artistic attitudes and thus suggest directions that investigations may take into the Pre-Conquest styles of other arts.
