Description
Paris: The Author Matisse, 1920. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION, WITH SIGNED MATISSE ETCHING. A BEAUTIFUL COPY. Cinquante Dessins is “a book of drawings published at Matisse’s expense with an introduction by Charles Vildrac. Vildrac explains Matisse’s return to the figure as an attempt to redress the modernist gap opened between art and life. Since the figure was neglected by contemporary art concerned with the probing and reconstitution of the painting elements themselves, Matisse is returning to the ‘moral character’ of painting, its human content. Like the older masters, he again ‘attunes his style to the style of the model’ and, eschewing both the current archaizing and modishness, he searches out with humility the grave character of the model by intelligent deduction and by imagination. Written in close collaboration with the painter, this is an important statement on Matisse’s Nice manner of the early 1920s.” (Weiss, 97). With 50 full-page plates of Matisse’s drawings of women, in addition to the frontispiece etching of Matisse’s daughter (“Mlle. M.M”) signed in ink by Matisse below the image. Produced to coincide with Matisse’s exhibition of the drawings at Bernheim-Jeune in 1920. One of 1000 copies issued, although in most extant copies the signed frontispiece has now been removed. With preface by Charles Vildrac. Paris: (The Author), 1920. Quarto (approx. 8 1/2 x 12 in.), original wrappers; custom box. Splits to text block (as usual), and with the usual light uniform toning from the tissue guards. The original wrappers (in particular the spine) are notoriously fragile – this copy is a very rare survival, with the wrappers in nearly perfect condition. Note: Without the rare dust jacket issued in some copies in Pierre Matisse’s possession.

About very good.
Description
Tokyo, 1929. About very good.. 249pp. Original drab printed wrappers. Spine lightly toned and chipped, light soiling and wear to covers. Inscribed on title page, contemporary ink notation on rear endpapers. First edition. A collection of essays originally published in the Japanese American News; the author worked for the Los Angeles branch of the newspaper. The essays, most quite short and some comprised of just a few lines of poetry, offer observations on Japanese-American life and culture. Content is personal commentary rather than journalistic reporting, but does include one poem about smuggling people over the U.S.-Mexico border (p.65). Others address the second generation Nisei. We note that the author's name is transliterated differently in several places and is, quite possibly, a pseudonym. The present copy is inscribed on the title page, possibly by the author. We note two copies in OCLC at the National Diet Library and Waseda University. JANM Bibliography, 216. A Buried Past, 677.

A sentimental paean to the days of Wozniak and Jobs, and a fascinatingly focused timeline of visual design. 11" x 8.5" Original grey cloth boards with silver-stamped spine. In original unclipped (flap unpriced, but $39.95 to rear panel) pictorial dust jacket. [xvi], 204 pages. Touches of shelfwear here and there to jacket. Else bright, sharp, and clean overall.

Now you have only one enemy and that is mine" (our translation). Interior text anti-militarist propaganda, including contributions by the Polish Jewish poet Ludwig Palagyi, French novelists Guy de Maupassant and Anatole France (translated into German), and German poet and Social Democrat Max Kegel.

"'Isaac Bickerstaff' is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. The actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are a brief version of those in the New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1793 (New London), by Daboll. A large portion of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are identical, and the calculations for the moon are identical throughout. The other calculations on these pages vary to a degree reflecting the difference between New London and Providence" [ESTC]. Evans 25022. Drake 12933. Alden 1267. ESTC W22725.
