Description
Paris: Printed for the Author, and sold by Edward W. Titus, 4 rue Delambre, at the sign of the Black Manikin, 1928. Very Good. Paris: Printed for the Author, and sold by [Edward W. Titus, 4 rue Delambre, at the sign of the Black Manikin], 1928. First Edition, limited issue of 1050 copies, this being #56. Quarto. 84, [4]pp. Woodcuts by Barnes, done in an Elizabethan style. Illustrated wraps. Laid in prospectus; 4pp.; illus. Publisher information redacted and supplied by OCLC. Light wear and soiling, chipped at spine ends with loss to top of spine. Binding sound. Spotting to preliminaries; many gatherings uncut; interior else unmarked. A Very Good copy of Barnes' picaresque fantasy centering around Natalie Barney's predominantly lesbian social circle. Told in a bawdy Rabelaisian style and full of wordplay, the work features and lampoons, pseudonymously, Radclyffe Hall, Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, and Mina Loy, among others. "Ladies Almanack" was published the same year as Hall's "The Well of Loneliness," Woolf's "Orlando," and several other works , leading scholar Susan S. Lanser to call 1928 "the literal and metonymic high point of sapphic modernism." Even from this high point of queer modernism, "Ladies Almanack" stands out, with the NYU Press calling it "the most audacious Lesbian text of its time." Uncommon in retail. References: Susan S. Lanser. "1928: Sapphic Modernity and the Sexuality of History," in "Modernism/Modernity," Volume 1, Cycle 3. Brian Glavey. "Modernity and Other Nocturnal Distempers" in "Modernism/Modernity," Volume 1, Cycle 3.

Japan: Tosho Insatsu Publishing Co., Ltd, 1956. Large Softcover. Near Fine. 0x0x0. Naito, Makoto. Jacket toned with some chips. 1956 Large Softcover. Chinese text. Includes 27 black-and-white plates. Black and white reproductions, printed tissue guards. Brocaded green flexible cloth, paper cover label, string-bound Asian-style, unprinted paper jacket. Exquisite Chinese paintings by this masterful 20th century Chinese artist. Minimal text in both Chinese and English. "Born in Kiangsu Province, China, in 1913, Mr. Chiang shares his name with a distinguished group of forebears. Artists, poets and men of official rank have brought distinction to the family name in cultural and intellectual circles from the late Ming Dynasty to the present. His great-grandfather Chiang T'ing-Hsi (1669-1732) was a master painter of his period and paintings by him are included in the inventory of the Palace Collection. Following the conventional classical education, Mr. Chiang served both in the Museum and School of Fine Arts in Kwangsi. An important and perceptible part of his early training was as a pupil of Huang Ping-Hung (1864-1955), one of the last great scholarpainters in the traditional sense. Like his teacher, Chiang patiently studied and copied the old masters, a study facilitated by his own family's fine collection of paintings and calligraphy and heightened by his master's keen eye and connoisseurship. Unlike his teacher, whose individualistic paintings were not widely appreciated, and who has gained greater stature only after his death in 1955, Chiang Er-shih won more immediate recognition in China and subsequently in Hong Kong. Contemporary Chinese painting has many faces, from the purely decorative, traditionally oriented, Sunday-painter studies of bird, bamboo and chrysanthemum to the often explosive abstractions by imaginative painters of the " Now Generation ". A small, even more select group have successfully used traditional training as a springboard, embracing certain aspects of contemporary Western painting to enhance and advance their art. Chiang Er-shih is among this group. The Art Institute of Chicago" - David Barnett Gallery
