Description
México, D.F.: Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas, FNAP, 1953. (marginal wear; slight chipping along the edges of some of the pages). b/w and color plates, ports., advts., one full-page engraving on color rice paper, loose as issued, duo tone pict. wrps. Cover Title. COVER READS "Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas" A Mexican monthly art magazine that covers subjects ranging from pre-Colombian art, Mexican muralism, and graphic arts. The slogan of the magazine is "por un arte al servicio del pueblo." The Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas (FNAP) was a collective of artists founded in 1952, during the "crossing" between two adverse aesthetic art movements: the realism of the so-called Mexican School of Painting and what has been called the "Ruptura" (Rupture). The magazines Artes de México and Artes Plásticas, which were founded at the initiative of the FNAP, were fundamental for the dissemination of the FNAP political, social and artistic ideologies with a marked tendency to the left. Artes Plásticas, which indicated in its cover logo its membership of the FNAP, was the first to be published, with a monthly periodicity. Printed on modest paper, it was released towards the end of October 1952. Their editorial line was nationalist, understood as the preservation and dissemination of everything they considered heritage and a product of the Mexican Revolution. This issue includes a beautiful full-page engraving of Francisco Madero by the artist Angel Zamarripa. Founders and participants include: Francisco Goitia (Secretaria General), Ignacio Aguirre, Ana Mérida, Raul Anguiano.

CHARLES BENEDICT DAVENPORT (1866 – 1944) became one of the most prominent American biologists of his time, pioneering new quantitative standards of taxonomy. His father had a significant influence on his early career, as he encouraged Charles to become an engineer. In 1888 Davenport rebelled against his father and enrolled in the Harvard zoology program. Initially he joined in the general interest in invertebrate embryology, with particular attention-appropriately-on the development of individuality. He graduated with a Bachelor's after two years, and earned a Ph.D in biology in 1892. His first faculty position was as a professor of zoology at Harvard. He summered in Woods Hole (at the Fish Commission) and in Newport, and he pursued a variety of projects, culminating in his encyclopedic Experimental Morphology (offered here) in the late 1890s. From 1899 to 1904 Davenport taught at the University of Chicago. In 1904, he became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and founded the Eugenics Record Office there in 1910. His 1911 book, Heredity in Relation to Eugenics, was used as a college textbook for many years. Davenport was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1907, and to the National Academy of Sciences in 1912. In 1921 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. PROVENANCE: JAMES WALKER WILSON (1896-1969) entered Brown in 1914 and studied biology under Professor Albert D. Mead. He graduated in 1918, spent a year in the army, and returned to Brown as a graduate student in biochemistry under Professor Philip H. Mitchell. His dissertation topic for his Ph.D. degree in 1921 was Contributions to the Biochemistry of Vitamin A. The same year he was appointed instructor in biology for one year to teach Professor Herbert E. Walter's courses while Walter was on leave. He ended up staying for forty years. He introduced a new course called "experimental morphogenesis," and did research on regeneration in flatworms. By 1936 he was recognized for developing a technique in kidney research, a perfusion apparatus which circulated synthetic blood through rabbit kidneys. In 1945 he became chairman of the Department of Biology and Frank L. Day Professor of Biology. He served as chairman until 1960.
