Catalogue from the exhibition held in Forth Worth San Francisco and Lens France between May 2016 and June 2017. "The Brothers Le Nain: Painters of 17th-Century France is the first major exhibition in the United States devoted to the Le Nain brothers—Antoine ca. 1598–1648 Louis ca. 1600/1605–1648 and Mathieu ca. 1607–1677. The presentation features more than forty of the brothers’ works to highlight the Le Nains’ full artistic production. This comprehensive presentation and its almost five-hundred-page catalogue offer new scholarship concerning the authorship dating and meaning behind their art. As the works were not individually signed assigning a specific painting to a specific brother has long been a matter for debate. Extensive new research has been conducted to address questions of authorship through direct comparisons of key works from the brothers’ oeuvre. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to compare these pieces side by side in the Legion of Honor’s galleries. The exhibition also includes a substantial technical study from painting conservators at the Fine Arts Museums and the Kimbell detailing the materials and working methods of the brothers."

"Sublime Beauty: Raphael s Portrait of a Lady with a Unicorn focuses on one of the artist s most beguiling and enigmatic paintings and the idendity of the mysterious blonde sitter who epitomized his female portraiture during his Florentine period. Two essays by leading specialists in Renaissance art Linda Wolk-Simon and Mary Shay-Millea explore the stylistic relationship between this masterpiece and Leonardo da Vinci s Mona Lisa and the link to Petrarch s poetry and popular notions of beauty in Renaissance art. They examine attributions and the painting s distinct iconography and why in place of the usual lapdog the woman holds a unicorn." - from the dj flap.

1995réf. 30669Levallois-Perret Cedex France: Editions Filipacchi. Fine in Very Good dj. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. no significant wear to book; the jacket is lightly edgeworn with minor damage and slight dog-earing to upper corners. B&W photogaphs Extensive photographic coverage including reproduction of numerous full contact sheets of a legendary recording session that took place in Hollywood on June 17 1952 and featured the legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie Bird Parker who died just a few years later. Esther Bubley had been a successful freelance photographer since the mid-1940s often working on assignment for such magazines as Life and Ladies Home Journal; this particular opportunity however was not a formal engagement but rather came about through her acquaintance with art director David Stone Martin. Martin who had been hired by producer Norman Granz to create the cover art for the albums that resulted from this session there were two had a chance meeting with Bubley who was visiting L.A. at her hotel's swimming pool and asked her to come along and photograph the session with nothing more in mind than for her to capture images that he might then be able to use as the basis for his artwork. Because of the informality of the arrangement Bubley's photos were apparently never published or used commercially they remained "undiscovered" in the record company's archives for the next forty years or so. The text of the book FYI is entirely in French and certainly contains much more information about how and when the photos were unearthed and prepared for publication than was contained in the small bit I translated. The book was never published in an English-language edition one result being that all copies for sale online at the present time are from European or British sellers -- except this one of course; govern yourself accordingly.

1871réf. List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843–1877 Anna Peace 1845–1868 and Esther Robinson 1848–d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1 The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the ‘Friends School’ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewis’s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis: “Dr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewis’ ‘Movement Cures’ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.” November 23 1864 Meanwhile Anna and Esther’s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes: “We have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I don’t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.” January 8 1865 Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girls’ father Thomas Hazard 1797–1886 connects the family’s “strong religious tendencies” to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that “Pa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectly” February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia: “Yesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her – we are going again on Monday.” February 8 1867 That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854. Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers. 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635–1894 Printed for the Author 1896. 2 Thomas R.
