Kamerny teatr i ego khudozhniki 1914-1934 The Kamerny Theatre and Its Artists 1914-1934

19341169Quarto 12 1/8 x 8 7/8 inches; 307 x 220 mm pp. 8 ix-xlvii 1 introduction 195 plates 3 199-211 1 appendix in publisher's original brown cloth lacking the rare dust jacket. A celebration of Alexander Tairov's pathbreaking Kamerny Theatre in Moscow featuring set and costume designs as well as scenes from the theatre's first 20 years. Text entirely in Russian. Profusely illustrated in both color and black and white the book showcases each production of the Kamerny founded by Alexander Tairov 1885-1950 and his wife the actress Alisa Koonen 1889-1974. Tairov brought many non-Russian productions to the Kamerny including works by Shakespeare Bertolt Brecht Eugene O'Neill George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. Tairov's productions were known for their magnificent set and costume designs and he collaborated with some of the most acclaimed avant-garde artists of the day including Alexandra Exter and Natalia Goncharova. Indeed it's possible to see the evolution of 20th-century Russian art through the set and costume designs which reflected Cubist Constructivist Rayonist and even Art Deco influences. It was an exciting time in Soviet theatre; this era featured some of the greatest directors of the 20th century such as Stanislavsky Meyerhold Vakhtangov and of course Tairov. The Kamerny was the scene of one of the most significant plays of the Soviet theatre according to Nick Worrall in his authoritative study "Modernism to Realism on the Soviet Stage" Cambridge University Press 1989. Vsevolod Vishnevsky's Russian civil-war play Optimistic Tragedy opened at the Kamerny on December 18 1933. "It concerns particular historical events associated with the civil war in the Soviet Union but more generally it is an article of faith -- in the triumph of Life over Death of the Collective over the Individual of faith in the necessary tragedy of revolution of the necessary destruction of those who oppose revolution of hostility to the spirit of anarchism and faith in the leadership of the party." Indeed the play which is featured in this book marked an important milestone in the development of "socialist realism." The Soviet government closed the Kamerny Theatre in 1949 and Tairov died a year later. The Kamerny's home at 23 Tverskoy Boulevard is now occupied by the Moscow Pushkin Drama Theatre.A stunning look at the first 20 years of the Kamerny Theatre one of the most innovative theatres at an important moment in Soviet theatre history.

Dutton Cook [Edward Dutton Cook] (1829-1883), author, journalist, artist, engraver, drama critic of the Pall Mall Gazette [Hood'Biblio.com

â€˜The last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cookâ€™. Corrected Autograph Manuscript of Edward Dutton Cookâ€™s last story â€˜ â€œColumbines all of a Rowâ€ â€™ completed within days of his death and published in 'Hood's Comic Annual'. Signed: â€˜Dutton Cookâ€™.

23784Undated but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: â€˜Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.Wâ€™. For information on Cook see his biography in the Oxford DNB which points out that the subtlety of his later fiction was lost on his contemporaries being written in a style that â€˜was not sufficiently sensationalâ€™ for the period. The present item is the complete text of the last thing Cook ever wrote: a story which appeared in the weeks following his death in Hoodâ€™s Comic Annual for 1884 London 1883. On 3 November 1883 the â€˜Booksellerâ€™ quoted the review of the volume in the magazine â€˜Funâ€™: â€˜a melancholy interest attaches to the article â€œColumbines all of a Rowâ€ from the fact that it was the last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cook having been completed only a few days before his deathâ€™. The Graphic praised the storyâ€™s â€˜charming intermingling of pathos and humourâ€™. 12pp landscape 12mo. The holograph is written in a close stylized hand in purple ink on twelve 11.5 x 18 cm leaves attached with a brass stud. In good condition lightly aged. Addressed in autograph at top-right of first page: â€˜Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.Wâ€™ and signed at end â€˜Dutton Cookâ€™. With autograph emendations throughout but evidently a final draft: the tenth and eleventh leaves have both been divided into two parts with neat vertical cutting and reunited on the reverse with paper labels with the section created by this division indicated by numbering in another hand in pencil in the margins. The story is divided by Cook into nine parts with roman numerals. Undated, but written in 1883. Addressed in autograph at head: ‘Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W’. unknown
