2008407096Des Moines: Des Moines Art Center 2008. A fine copy. 8 x 6 inches. 172 pages. 95 color illustrations. Printed wrappers. One of 1000 copies. Edited by Ellen R. Feldman. Text by Jeff Fleming Raphaela Platow. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Des Moines Art Center 25 May to 26 August 2007 and the Rose Art Museum of Brandeis University 27 September to 16 December 2007. "om Sachs has a cardboard box in his studio into which he throws miscellaneous screws nuts and bolts after he has attempted unsuccessfully to use them in a project under production. Instead of wasting time categorizing and storing them he throws them into the box until needed again. The box labeled "Logjam" exemplifies Sachs' working method and his response to the world: he needs to make things; everything else just gets in the way. Published to accompany the artist's first one-person museum exhibition in the United States which traveled from Des Moines Iowa to Waltham Massachusetts in 2007 this handy artist's-book-cum-inventory-cum-exhibition-catalogue documents what may be Sach's most personal show to date--focusing on two bodies of work that are actually about the process of art-making Sachs' "work" and "living" stations. Readers will enjoy the rounded edges of this small gem the full-bleed photographs and the blunt highly personal captions describing the artist's "Essential Tools"." <br/><br/> Des Moines Art Center unknown books

15243624Eilenburg:: Nikolaus Widemar 1524. Printed in the year of the first edition. Quarto:. 19.5 x 14 cm. 24p. Collation: A-C4 final blank and present With a woodcut title page illustration of the shoemaker the canon and the canon's housekeeper. Bound in 20th c. brown morocco by Zaehnsdorf gilt spine. Title a trifle dusty. Printed by Eilenburg's first printer who apparently operated his shop for the Leipzig printer Wolfgang Stöckel. Provenance: Broxbourne Library with bookplate of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969. Early in 1524 Hans Sachs employed the prose dialogue recently revived by the humanists in the service of contemporary polemics. It is generally acknowledged that his four Reformation dialogues of 1524 count among the best of the period. In the first of these "Disputation between a Shoemaker and a Canon" a simple cobbler brings a new pair of shoes to the home of a Church canon. The canon's Bible is dusty that is unread because instead he reads the Decretals; he rattles off his prayers for the hours perfunctorily and orders the housekeeper to provide rare game birds for dinner and die for amusement afterwards. "The layman-priest must look to his own spiritual welfare. The cobbler is a self-reliant figure quick at repartee and remarkably well versed in the Scriptures. Sachs' cobbler is both self-assertive and scrupulously polite in sharp contrast to the supercilious canon. At every turn the layman shows his knowledge of the Bible and its meaning to be stronger than that of the clergy-man. When the canon's own housekeeper mentions this the canon replies 'Ich hab nur von der gemein ein auffrur besorgt sonst wolt ich jm die pantoffel in sein Antlitz geschmeyst haben…' He'd smack the cobbler in the face with one of his shoes if he weren't afraid that it would cause the community to riot. It may well be as Ingeborg Spriewald suggests that this expressed fear of tumult among the working people induced by an affront to one of their number is a product of the tense public atmosphere in 1524 Nuremberg. However it is at least as plausible contextually that the defeated canon is grasping for the old charge made by Murner that had occasioned Karsthans several years before: Lutheranism will stir up the uneducated lower classes. The notion of such civil warfare is deflated even as it is spoken by this thoroughly discredited figure. The expressed concern is presented as just another ploy used by a cornered adversary who can only obfuscate not defend."Van Cleve Converting the Common Man: German Dialogues of the Early Reformation VD 16 S 222; Goed.

15543523Nürnberg:: Georg Merckel around 1554. FIRST EDITION. Quarto:. 17 x 13.5 cm. 24 pp. With a large woodcut on the title page showing death as a skeleton. A clean copy two tiny wormholes. Bound in modern boards. The woodcut shows the man lying in his bed death as a skeleton and Virtue and Vice personified as women flanking his bed beneath which can be seen a chamber pot. A humorous poem by the "Meistersinger" Hans Sachs in which a man dreams that Death in the form of a skeleton has come to take him. Frightened and too weak to resist the man calls upon some helpers: Youth Beauty Health Strength Bravery Skill Medicine and Wealth. But these fail him. The virtues Nobility Honor etc. all spurn him; the vices Audacity Lust Violence Anger Indolence etc. scorn him. Finally through the intercession of Lady Contrition Lady Confession and Lady Sacrament the man turns to Hope Faith and Love who do their job of protecting him so well that the man willingly consigns himself to death conscious of his inner spiritual victory. In the end it all turns out to be a dream. The man wakes and vows to lead a repentant life. VD16 S-560; Weller 2052; Keller/Goetze Enr. 190a Georg Merckel, around unknown books
