Description
19. DUESBERRY, Joellyn. A COLLECTION OF NINE EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK, AND AN AUTOGRAPH NOTE, BY THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ARTIST JOELLYN DUESBERRY. Duesberry (b. 1945) is an award winning landscape artist who has exhibited widely and whose paintings of the northeastern and southwestern United States appear in many public collections, including the Denver Art Museum, the Hudson River Museum, the Smith College Art Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution, to name but a few. The exhibition catalogues offered here were issued from 1985 through 2000 by the Tatischeff Gallery (NY, NY), the Gerald Peters Gallery (Santa Fe, NM), the Graham Modern Gallery (NY, NY), the Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO), and James Graham & Sons (NY, NY). All are illustrated with reproductions of her paintings that often feature locales in Maine, New York State, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, New Mexico, and Colorado. All but one has color illustrations; all are bound in paper wrappers; and the condition of each is very good or better. The book is A COVENANT OF SEASONS: Monotypes by Joellyn Duesberry. Poems by Pattiann Rogers. With an essay by David Park Curry, and contributions by Robert Adams, Roger Mandle, and John Walsh. New York: Hudson Hills Press, (1998). First edition. 48 color reproductions of Duesberry's monotypes. Quarto (10 x 9 3/4 in.), 155 pp., in color illustrated paper wrappers. A very good copy that shows only slight edgewear. The small autograph note from Duesberry, written on her letterhead (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in.), dated 11/20/91 and signed Joly D., comments upon her (then) recent and upcoming exhibitions and contains an inquiry about renting a house on Martha's Vineyard. This collection provides a good overview of a large portion of Duesberry's prolific career.

The Philopolis Press ("Love of the City") was founded shortly after the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Led by Arthur and Lucia Mathews, a group of artists and writers who shared a vision of "the rebuilding of San Francisco as an urban utopia" came together and the Philopolis Press was born. For ten years they published books, ephemera, and a monthly magazine which addressed issues such as urban planning, public education, and govenment; in one article the term "Calitopia" was coined, "to realize the glories of mythical Utopia in California". (n. b., above quotes and much info from "American Arcadia: California and the Classical Tradition" by Peter J. Holliday.) Agnes Ruth Lockhart Sengstacken (1859-1948) was one of six children of a couple who immigrated to Oregon in 1851 via wagon train; she was born in a two-room log cabin on land which would eventually become known as Myrtle Point. "An accomplished lecturer and the author of numerous poems and articles", she continued to publish through the age of 83. ___DESCRIPTION: Brown paper-covered boards with gilt lettering and a small gilt illustration of a California poppy on the front, fore- and bottom edges uncut, plain endpapers, tissue-guarded frontispiece a photographic reproduction in sienna of a waterfall; binding duodecimo size (7" by 5.25"), pagination: [i-viii] 1-36 [37]. ___CONDITION: Overall near fine, the binding clean with only a few light spots, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior clean, and free of prior owner markings; toning to the free endpapers from the binding glue and the bottom corners of a few leaves creased. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note the following: (i) additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs, please inquire for details; and (ii) any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind book we sell.
