The art historian and first appointed MoMA director's collection of essays on the history and development of Cubism and Abstractionism in the early 20th century published in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition of the same name held from March 2nd-April 19th, 1936. The acclaimed exhibition of nearly 400 works displayed works ranging from African sculpture, Neo-Impressionists paintings from Seurat, paintings from the dawn of Cubism by Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris, works of Fauvism, Dadaist objects, Bauhaus sculptures and early works of Surrealism.

Description
Dublin: Joseph Hill, 1784. First Edition?. Full contemporary calf.. Near fine with some abrasions or shallow gouge to the front cover; front joint partially cracked near the head.. 8vo, [6], [1] - 203, [1 - blank] pp. + 2 engraved plates. Young was educated at Trinity College, Dublin where he taught natural philosophy. he spent years working on a commentary to Newton's Principia. The book offered here is his work elucidating only one of the propositions, i.e., the nature and propagation of sound. He also examined the nature of the vibration in elastic fibers and accounts for some of the observed phenomena of musical strings. The result is a book that is perhaps the best non-mathematical account of the physics of a vibrating body and elasticity in general. An important book. Kassler 1085 - `87; absent from Babson and Wallis.
