He embarked on a truly striking career as an artist. In "Nudes" he focuses on pornography r rather on stills taken from pornographic scenes he has found on the Web and then processes them electronically before blowing them up to immense proportions. Digitally colored alienated by blurring contours and at time eliminating focus the content dissolves into more or less abstract fields of color forcefully unnerving our perception our expectations and our erotic fantasies.<br /> <br /> A short story by Michel Houellebecq Ruff's dream author for the occasion unequivocally points up what the photographer's pictures are about namely the act of solitary surfing through artificial worlds the distance of purported intimacy sex and love in the age of the Internet and of swinger clubs. In other words the end of Romanticism." Publisher. Schirmer Mosel hardcover

18375083Boston; Philadelphia: Wells and Lilly; P. H. Nicklin and T. Johnson Law Booksellers 1837. Two quarto volumes 4 827-1532pp and 7 2104-2632pp. Tan buckram red and black morocco labels on spine ruled and lettered in gilt. Damp staining to lower page edges of the first third or so of each more pronounced in the earlier volume. Pages tanned and somewhat brittle in volume 4 foxing throughout in volume 2 unused card pockets in front of both. Several ownership markings including signatures from John Neely Bryan in each. <p><br /> Historic set of two statute books from the library of the founder of Dallas John Neely Bryan 1810-1877. Bryan left his home state of Tennessee at an early age with law degree in hand first to Arkansas and in 1839-1841 surveying and settling in the area that would later become Dallas. <br /> <br /> The natural features of the landscape the Trinity River being shallow and crossable at the site perhaps drew Bryan to the area but were also a source for disaster shortly after his settling. Stephen R. Butler in his biography John Neely Bryan: The Father of Dallas pg. 46: <br /> "In 1842. A Trinity River flood damaged the so-called 'Gilbert-Bryan cabin.' John Neely Bryan Jr. described this event: 'Shortly after this first cabin was completed my father went back to Colbert's Ferry for a supply of corn. he found that a rise of the river had occurred during his absence. damaging his books and destroying many of his papers. he had brought with him numerous valuable books and papers pertaining to his profession.'" <br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p>These volumes were later rebound and owned by Maurice Eugene Locke who established a practice in the city in 1891 and built one of the great law libraries of the West. The stamp of a "John B. Seymour" is also present in each perhaps owning the books between Bryan and Locke. We find no record of John Neely Bryan's signature at auction. This wonderful piece of Dallas history also presents a rare case where water damage adds to rather than detracts from the appeal. </p> . Wells and Lilly; P. H. Nicklin and T.

1953001298No Location: No Publisher 1953. First Edition . Soft cover. Very Good Plus. 21.25" x 9.25. Landau Jay. Original illustration ink on stiff board by Jay Landau later famed painter Jacob Landau for the sci-fi pulp story "Death of A Sensitive" from the May 1953 issue of Science Fiction Plus. 9 7/8" x 9" overall size image size is most of that scan. Note:layout editor's note at the bottom of the image in scan which says 7 3/8" refers to the size the image is to be in the printed issue not the 9" width of this original. This was executed as line art on copper as were most of Landau's pulp illustrations; this is this black and white for reproduction in that May issue. Annotation on front see scan also annotations on reverse. Former paste foxing from layout process one the reverse;none on front. Image itself is fine as used by the publisher. Used to illustrate the Harry Bates story "Death of a Sensitive" -a story deemed by Hugo Gernsback's editor Sam Moskowitz to be the best he ever published in the magazine Bates was the author of in Astounding Science Fiction in 1940 "Farewell to the Master" which later became the basis for the classic sci-fi film "The Day the Earth Stood Still". A moody illustration by Landau who as the pulp illustrator he was at that time is hard to find on the original sci-fi art market. Though he loved science fiction and did a fair amount of early magazine illustration he later was able to concentrate solely on the stylish impactful often socially conscious and always psychologically disturbing mainstream painting which was his first love and for which he later gained famed. His early professional work for publications was done as Jay Landau or J. Landau often signed only "Landau" but the later work was of course by "Jacob Landau". Landau died in November 2001 at age of 85. The intimidating moody nature of this illustration is to a degree in keeping with that later painting style. The May issue of Science Fiction Plus is not itself included here; scan shown with this listing for reference. Llng1 <br/> <br/> No Publisher paperback
