'Angela Ricci Lucchi describes her work as follows: "I was already very interested in the use of the media and I started a kind of 'investigation' later published by the Pari & Dispari editions which consisted of asking everyone a series of essential questions: what is the rose for you Among others I asked Zavattini who sent me a beautiful letter. And I also asked Jervant whom I had just met. I started sending this message in June 1974; the operation continues to this day. Known and unknown people responded to me. Anyone who received these letters could send their reply. I didn't make any critical choices. This collection is in fact ordered only according to the date of the postmarks. In the same period the artist created numerous experimental and avant-garde cinema short films the so-called "scented films" Alice scented with roses 1975 the screening of which is accompanied by the diffusion of aromatic essences that interact with the film. The work is exhibited at the Mart museum in Rovereto and in 2018 it was part of the exhibition dedicated to "Rosanna Chiessi. Pari&Dispari" by the MAMbo Museum of Modern Art of Bologna and published in the catalogue." pariedispari website See also: "Cos'è la rosa per te" by Filippo Perfetti. This essay offers a reinterpretation of the early artistic work of Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi through the lens of analogical thought exploring the meaning and structure of their initial creations. Starting from Ricci Lucchi's 1976 inquiry "Cos'è la rosa per te" it reconstructs an aesthetic and methodological path that intertwines fairy tale synesthesia and cataloging placing their work in dialogue with the contemporary scenes of independent cinema and visual art. The essay argues that for the two artists the film should be understood as a field of forces in which things are no longer fixed entities but relational nodes. In this light the question "cos'è la rosa per te" – "What is the rose for you" – becomes emblematic of a heuristic method based on plurality incompleteness and the tension between elements proposing analogy as the central epistemological structure of their artistic project.

1863In-16 p. (mm. 172x101), brossura orig. (picc. manc. al dorso), pp. 58, con fregio xilografato al frontespizio. Rara "prima edizione italiana" di questo libretto stampato a Napoli. L’autore era giunto a Napoli al seguito di Garibaldi che lo aveva nominato Direttore onorario delle Belle Arti. Spirito vulcanico, vi fondò il giornale ‘L’Indipendente’ e si occupò degli scavi di Pompei. Il libretto fu scritto a commento di un processo che aveva appena concluso il clamoroso giallo di un omicidio: vittima, un orologiaio napoletano, tal Francesco Ruffa. L'assassinio era avvenuto nell’agosto del 1862, un anno dopo l’Unità d’Italia, quando i codici non erano stati ancora unificati. Solo in Toscana era già stata abrogata la pena di morte mentre vigeva ancora a Napoli. Di fatto, però, i magistrati napoletani - aperti a quel rinnovamento culturale e morale che sul solco di Cesare Beccaria propugnava l'abolizione della pena capitale - ricorrevano sistematicamente a stratagemmi e a cavilli per non applicarla, anche a costo di forzature paradossali. Così, nel caso dell'omicidio Ruffa, la giuria accordò agli assassini le attenuanti generiche per poterli condannare ai lavori forzati, anziché alla fucilazione. Contro questa sentenza insorse Alessandro Dumas, che in polemica elegante ma dura con i magistrati scrisse "La pena di morte e il giurì napoletano". (dall’articolo di V. A. Stagno su L'Onda Razzista, 1983). Testo ben conservato, con ex libris di Cesare Correnti e la dedica autografa al frontespizio “De la part de l’auteur / A Dumas”.

1937réf. 0001744ITALY EGYPT THE HOLY LAND. Good. 1937. On offer is an interesting original photo journal created and compiled by Reverend Alex D. Riccio as he states on the first page wherein he has drawn the words "1930-1934 Remembrances of my stay in Europe Rev. Alex D. Riccio." In all there are approximately 184 photos all original save for a handful of real photo postcards all dated between 1930 - 1934. The first 133 photos are exactly that and one sees immediately the trip was a religious 'Grand Tour' as there are many photos of Catholic priests and students at a particular seminary in what is most certainly Italy. The names Cascine and Cortile Cortale are written on some of the photos. He also visits Jerusalem and Egypt with photos from those places also. Some other inscriptions include: "Avro from window; waiters at Council dinner taken in Cortile; Church of St. Claire Assisi; Feast of St. Magdalene; St. Paul's Rome; Facade of Holy Sepulcher; Mount Tabor; Unity of cars before entering into Jerusalem; Inside view of Mosque; Valley of Jehoshaphat; Mosque of Omar; Pyramids of Cairo; Garden of Olives; On board ship Palestine; Bethlehem" and many many more. In a later part of the album are 51 more photos: a number of wedding photos but 17 of them show the results of the great flood of 1936. I believe most of them are taken of the state of Maine possibly Portland Middletown and Cromwell. Some of these are also marked on the back. Many are rather incredible photos too. Most of the photos in this particular album are NOT glued in but placed in the album using the four corner mounts. Most of the photos are black and white and in good shape. The album itself as far as the pages and binding is in great shape but the cover is in bad shape. It is very worn around the edges and has fallen away from the binding. The leather cover features a super art deco design. It measures about 8" x 10 ¾". Please note: this is one of two photo albums compiled by Riccio. The related album is specific to his time at Fordham University. SELLER ID 0001743; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GREAT NEW ENGLAND FLOOD ALEX D.

1849réf. 4387New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"
