Description
Small volume of movement study drawings in a Constructivist and Cubist-influenced style. Oblong octavo (6 3/4 x 10 3/8 inches). Original printed wrappers. Light browning, minor soiling to covers, small areas of wear and loss along edges and spine, some staining near staples, light scattered spotting to interior, overall very good. Leningrad: n.p., 1929. Little is known about the artist who created these images. However, there is a three-page introduction that precedes the 48 figure studies titled "Synthesis of Form, Dynamics of Action, Rhythm of Lines", in which Vekstein discusses the sense of movement he instilled into some of his drawings. He mentions the curves of the figures of laundresses echoing the curves of the iron and the fabric, or the swing of the shovel, scythe, or hammer by a worker. Other rounded lines evoke music, speed, or vibration. The studies are clearly taking inspiration from Constructivist and Cubist art in their style and interpretation. A fascinating sketchbook; as of April 2024, we could find no records of this work on OCLC.

Description
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1915. FIRST EDITION. With 10 full-page plates and numerous text diagrams. Bound in publisher’s green cloth; 1 leaf loose and small tear to another leaf. Small bookstore label to front paste-down. Overall an excellent copy. First edition of this seminal work on the study of juvenile delinquency by pioneering psychiatrist and criminologist William Healy (1869-1963). Healy was an early advocate of the separation of child and adult offenders. The individual delinquent offered a new methodology in addressing juvenile delinquency, criminology, and child psychiatry in general. It is divided into basically two sections, the first on methods and the second on results. Healey’s work emphasized the “multifactor theory” of delinquency, addressing the influence of environmental factors on child delinquents, away from the contemporary European model of the primacy of genetic factors. However he does acknowledge that social, medical and psychological concerns must be addressed in understanding each case history. An interesting piece of the ongoing nature versus nurture debate. Healy was one of the ofunders and the first president of the American Orthopsychiatric Association and helped introduce Freudian through into America. Snodgrass, “William Healy (1869-1963): Pioneer child psychiatrist and criminologist,” Jl. History of Behavioral Sciences, Oct. 20 (4) 1984, pp. 332-339; Stevens, “Individual delinquent,” Jl. Criminal Law and Criminology, Vol. 6, No. 6, 1916.
