RECOVERY: THE HOSPITAL DRAWINGS OF ALFONSO OSSORIO
Seller
Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press (United States)
Description
(New York: Center for Book Arts, 1995. hardcover with clamshell. Center for Book Arts. 18.375 x 18.25 inches. hardcover with clamshell. n.p. First edition limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. Alfonso A. Ossorio (1916-1990) was an abstract expressionist artist who was born in Manila and produced a body of work that remained consistently international in scope. His early fascination with Surrealism gave way to Abstract Expressionism although he continued to be influenced by his native Philippine Catholic folk art as well as the modernist techniques of Informel and assemblage. Instead of completely abandoning one set of principles for another, he would continue to incorporate those features he most favored into his next series of compositions which resulted in complex and multifaceted works. In failing health, he was hospitalized from January 17 to February 8, 1989 and December 3 to 5, 1990. Given some markers and watercolor paper, he began a series of drawings that would become this striking collection of forty-two images. The publication was designed by Richard Minsky, with texts by Rose Slivka, Dr. Lewis Thomas and B.H. Friedman. Each print, mounted and matted on Stonehenge paper, was printed on Permalife paper and authenticated in the margin with the seal of the Ossorio Foundation. Letterpress printed at the Center for Book Arts. This volume is housed in a red cloth clamshell box.

Amecameca: Tip. del Colegio católico, 1883. 2. ed. publícala el presbítero br. Fortino Hipolito Vera ... Half black morocco over marbled boards, four raised bands, titles in gilt. About very good, scuffed along spine, rubbed, small crack along fore edge of rear board, free front endpaper detached.. 321 pp. Illus. with facsims. of title-pages of original (1816-19) editions. 8vo. The Third of Three volumes. First published in 1816-1819. According to Palau, the sheer volume of the the works that Beristáin de Souza saw but which are no longer available compensates for his less than perfect scholarship. The republication had a long and tortuous history, beginning 1842 but not reaching fruition until 1883. Sabin, quoting Ludewig's "Literature of American Aboriginal Languages" writes: “De Souza, is by far the most important work for the literature of New Spain that has ever been composed. It comprises 3687 biographies, and although, like most Spanish works of the kind, singularly uncritical, yet it is a perfect treasure as regards the cultivation of science and literature in Mexico and the adjacent countries. The work is extremely scarce....” Harrisse, who was no fan of the work, notes that Beristain only lived to see the first 186 pages published, the remainder being composed by his nephew (Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima, p. xxi). Medina published a fourth volume in 1897. Palau 27964. Leclerc 3068. Jones 2073a. See Sabin 4871.
