2005160172Toulouse: Universite de Toulouse 2005. Softcover. All VG. Doctoral thesis. 3 volumes identically bound with acetate covers and black cloth spines. 1157 pages across the 3 volumes. Volume I: 428 pp. with no illustrations the main thesis. Volume II: pp. 429 - 1019; documents appendices bw photos. Volume III: The works of Villon listed and pictured. The works studied constitute the period from 1947 to 1963. It retains 943 letters from Villon to Espic and attached documents: biographical historiographic theoretical. The letters and documents are reproduced in the 2nd volume. These sources contribute to a better understanding of the production of the artist as a whole. The first part deals with the correspondence the guiding thread. Analysis description and methodological propositions are stated and lead to a reflection on the relations between the epistolary and the "writings of artists". Next comes a monographic study. The great stylistic passages of the graphic and painted work are studied. The role of Villon in cubism the "Golden Section" is reconsidered. The transition to abstraction and the return to figuration around 1935 are evaluated. After 1945 Villon's representative abstraction embodies the reassuring values of a traditional French painting supported by the art market and the institutions of the Fourth Republic.

Semmelweis's paper: pp. 254-255. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First French announcement of this epochal event in the history of medicine the discovery of the etiology and prevention of childbed fever. First announce by Ferdinand von Hebra in December 1847 then followed only 2 months after by the French announcement."Although Semmelweis's importent discoveries were made in the 1840s he did not publish them immediately. The first printed reports of his findings were written by his collegues and were published in various German French or English Journals. Semmelweis himself gave three lectures before the Imperial and Royal Medical Society of Vienna in 1850 but did not publish his complete discussion of "The etiology concept and prophylaxis of childbeed fever" until 1861 having previously contributed several shorter accounts to Hungarian medical journals."Norman "One Hundred Books famous in Medicine" p. 265.Semmelweis demonstrated that puerperal fever also known as childbed fever was contagious and that this incidence could drastically be reduced by appropriate hand washing by medical care-givers. He made this discovery in 1847 while working in the Maternity Department of the Vienna Lying-in Hospital. His failure to convince his fellow doctors led to a tragic conclusion. However he was ultimately vindicated. While employed as assistant to the professor of the maternity clinic at the Vienna General Hospital in Austria in 1847 Semmelweis introduced hand washing with chlorinated lime solutions for interns who had performed autopsies. This immediately reduced the incidence of fatal puerperal fever from about 10 percent range 5-30 percent to about 1-2 percent.Toward the end of 1847 accounts of Semmelweis's work began to spread around Europe. Semmelweis and his students wrote letters to the directors of several prominent maternity clinics describing their recent observations. Ferdinand von Hebra the editor of a leading Austrian medical journal announced Semmelweis's discovery in the December 1847 and April 1848 issues of the medical journal. Hebra claimed that Semmelweis's work had a practical significance comparable to that of Edward Jenner's introduction of cowpox inoculations to prevent smallpox.Garrison & Morton: 6275 German version. </em> unknown

These uniquely witty and energetic images of airborne movie stars politicians royalty artists and authors have become an important part of Halsman's photographic legacy. For a period of six years in the mid-1950s Halsman ended his portrait sessions by asking his sitters to jump. Grace Kelly Marilyn Monroe Edward Steichen Audrey Hepburn Robert Oppenheimer John Steinbeck Weegee Aldous Huxley Marc Chagall Salvador Dalí Brigitte Bardot and Groucho Marx all took the leap of faith. It is a tribute to Halsman's powers of persuasion that even Richard Nixon the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and other figures not famed for their spontaneity were talked into "rising" to the challenge."
