196423238New York:: Random House 1964. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Fine extremely bright unclipped dust jacket. This copy is from the library of noted film director George Cukor with his bookplate on the front pastedown. In this collection Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature music and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem—“the scene and symbol of the Negro’s perpetual alienation in the land of his birth.” Throughout he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man.Not only is Ellison a great writer of fiction but he truly excels as an essayist as he displays in this fine collection of some of his best work in a non-fiction role. He is one of the most cogent and articulate writers in the arena of ideas and assessments of culture and the arts. Random House, unknown

Le livre d'artiste bénéficie du regain d'intérêt dont jouissent actuellement les avant-gardes des années soixante et soixante-dix. En lui-même, le livre d'artiste est devenu un genre spécifique et reconnu comme tel. Esthétique du livre d'artiste est une étude exhaustive des livres publiés par les artistes des avant-gardes des années soixante et soixante-dix : poésie concrète et visuelle, Fluxus, art minimal, art conceptuel... En rupture avec la tradition artisanale des " livres illustrés " de la bibliophilie, les livres d'artistes utilisent les techniques industrielles d'impression; ils ont matériellement l'aspect de publications ordinaires. À la différence des livres de bibliophilie, ils sont la création d'un artiste seul, sans la participation d'un écrivain. Plus de 300 artistes, de toutes nationalités, sont étudiés, parmi lesquels notamment Baldessari, Barry, Boltanski, Broothaers, Buren, Darboven, Filliou, Finlay, Fulton, Gerz, Gette, Kosuth, Le Gac, LeWitt, Long, Messager, Roth, Ruscha, Tremlett, Weiner. — Testi: Moeglin-Delcroix Anne.
