Seller: Type Punch Matrix

Title: EAST FROM HERE
Author: Allix, Susan
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Fine.
Description: London: n.p., 1998. Fine.. Limited edition artist's book that reflects on the colors, textures, and history of two ancient cities, incorporating a variety of illustration methods and materials. Susan Allix reflects on her creative philosophy, "I am concerned with visual things so I see books as full of colour and form in a pictorial sense as well as through the images created in my mind by the words, and through the sculptural qualities a book possesses" (artist statement). This richly-illustrated textural travelogue, with only two pages of text, is a beautiful example of Allix's artistry and skill at telling stories through visuals. Only nine copies of EAST FROM HERE were produced, one of her smallest limitations. 13.25'' x 10.5''. Original black goatskin-backed white linen boards. Original stiff paper dust jacket with color, embossed, suede, and metal clip elements, with cut-outs revealing the boards. Endpapers of hand-made blue paper. Illustrated with etchings, aquatints, collograph, drypoint, and other methods in color, gilt, and black and white. [50] leaves, [1] half-sheet, some with cut-outs. Signed by Allix to colophon and numbered 7 of 9 copies. In original blue cloth box with paper labels to spine and front joint, lined with soft material and suede. Metal clips a touch tarnished, with a tiny area of rubbing to jacket. Bright and clean.

Title: Andenken Franzensbad
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Paper. Good. Leporello with twelve panels, each with an oval hand-colored lithographic cameo view of a building or landmark, mostly exterior, in Franzensbad, a renowned Bohemian spa, or one of the nearby spa towns including Eger. These spas are located in what is now the Czech Republic, and at the time this leporello was issued, was a part of Austria. While their natural springs were known as far back as the 14th century, they became fashionable resorts in the early 19th century, attracting the Emperor, wealthy Russians, Goethe, Beethoven and many other notables such as Theodor Herzl. N.d., circa 1840. Measuring 10.5 by 7.5 when closed. Each of the oval cameos is 5 cm at its greatest height, 7 cm across at its widest. Depicted are the Salzquelle, the Egerer Badshaus (Eger bathhouse), the cafe in the park, a pleasure pavillion called the Neuquelle (new sources), the Siechenhaus, Loimanns Badehaus, the Franzensbad Kirche, the Salz und Wiesenquelle, the Franzensquelle, the Kaiserstrasse, the Louisenquelle, and a panaroma of Franzensbad. Most of the structures are classical in style, a few, grand in scale and ambition. All the illustrations are populated with well-dressed people, all tiny in the illustrations, to give a sense of Biedermeier scale and of the spirit and refinement of the place. Scarce -- no copies found on OCLC First Search or KVK. Condition: tape repair at fold of original paper cover. Foxing throughout the borders or margins. The illustrations themselves are exceptional bright and vivid.

Boards bound in black paper with a glossy illustrated jacket. Green end papers. 295 pages with illustrations (some color); map. "A l'occasion de l'année de l'Algérie, l'exposition « De Delacroix à Renoir. «L'Algérie des peintres » organisée par l'Institut du Monde Arabe, en partenariat avec le Clark Institute of Arts de Williamstown et le Musée d'Orsay, regroupe plus d'une centaine d'oeuvres, dont une quinzaine de tableaux de Renoir, réalisées durant le demi-siècle qui a vu s'amplifier en France entre 1832 et 1882 la vogue des sujets algériens tandis que s'opérait la colonisation du pays. L'exposition et le catalogue qui l'accompagne mettent en évidence la diversité des approches individuelles et rappellent ce que Renoir doit à ses prédécesseurs et en quoi l'impressionnisme s'articule aux expériences de l'orientalisme romantique (Delacroix, Chassériau, Fromentin, etc.). Les artistes qui partirent en Algérie dès 1830 n'en rapportèrent pas seulement une lumière plus intense, une palette plus chaude. C'est tout autant la nostalgie des temps et des moeurs primitifs, l'une des données centrales de l'orientalisme européen, qui est recherchée au Maghreb, à l'heure où l'Occident entend répandre sa modernité à travers le monde. A côté des paysages luxuriants ou désertiques, sont évoqués aussi campagnes militaires et chocs de cavaliers, scènes de genre à vocation ethnographique, voire à prétention anthropologique, seigneurs et chasseurs, pasteurs et bergers, odalisques, babouches et harems bien entendu : signes que l'orientalisme français excelle à produire et reproduire de l'altérité, à l'aide de codes que l'ouvrage s'attache à replacer dans leur vrai cadre d'analyse. Après une section consacrée aux Femmes d'Alger et aux variations que le tableau de Delacroix a durablement suscitées, le parcours débute donc avec certains des meilleurs représentants de l'orientalisme romantique (Horace Vernet, Théodore Chassériau, Eugène Fromentin, etc.) pour aboutir aux naturalistes des années 1880-1890, qu'il s'agisse de Gustave Guillaumet, d'Etienne Dinet et de Paul Leroy, peintres du Sud authentique, ou de Jules Muenier et sa très matissienne Vue du port d'Alger.Puis il évalue l'importance du thème algérois dans la carrière de Renoir. Durant son double séjour dans la ville blanche en 1881 et 1882 il a réalisé une trentaine de tableaux, dont quelques chefs-d'oeuvre. La dernière partie de l'ouvrage éclaire le sens de cette nouvelle poussée d'orientalisme, dix ans après la série des odalisques réalisées en hommage à Delacroix mais dans le contexte cette fois de la crise que traverse alors le groupe impressionniste et celui de la nécessité pour le peintre de se renouveler en trouvant une autre voie plus en phase avec le marché et les institutions."
