Scarce thus. In the 1990s a loose-knit group of American artists and creators many just out of their teens began their careers influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day such as skateboarding graffiti street fashion and independent music. Artists like Shepard Fairey Mark Gonzales Spike Jonze Margaret Kilgallen Mike Mills Barry McGee Phil Frost Chris Johanson Harmony Korine and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world. They learned their crafts through practice trial and error and good old-fashioned innovation. Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets. The world of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds of fashion music literature film and ironically athletics. Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of this spirit with hundreds of artworks by over two dozen artists from precursors like Jean-Michel Basquiat Keith Haring and Larry Clark to more recent adherents Ryan McGinniss KAWS and Geoff McFetridge. Work in all conceivable mediums is included plus reproductions of reams of ephemera. The accompanying essays are contributed by half a dozen writers who have championed these beautiful losers from the start. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. New York: Iconoclast Productions. 2004 hardcover

15190011033Tufts University Essex Massachusetts: Tufts University Sigma Kappa C1920s. Good. 1915-1927. Softcover. On offer are two volumes of poetry and prose written by a talented young American writer. These two books are soft-cover lined notebooks. They are in excellent condition. Included with them are a number of loose-leaf pages and a black and white photograph of an unidentified woman. The author of this collection is Elinor Presson Richardson. She lived in Essex MA. She was born in 1905 and passed away at the young age of 24. Following secondary school he attended Tufts University and was a member of Sigma Kappa sorority. The book of poetry opens with an entry dated October 1919 written when she was 14. In it she states: "This book is given to the poems and stories written by me! "Me" is Elinor Presson Richardson. They date from when I was very young the poems do at least to when I am quite grown up. I am writing this in my fourteenth year. As I just happened to think I'd like to keep my originals. Signed E. P. Richardson October '19" p 1. The first entries were written about 1915 and the last entries in 1927. There are several 3-5 page stories that she submitted to the Boston Traveler writing contest for students. One is set in France during WWI. There are many poems and the breadth of subjects is wide. They range from the whimsical to the serious and sometimes touch on events in the world around her. She writes one poem about the failure of the St. Raphael to successfully cross the Atlantic Ocean and the ensuing death of Princess Anne Löwenstein-Wertheim. She has a good sense of humour which is often expressed such as here in Ode To A Curl: "O' golden ringlet/Witching curl/Lets hope you never may unfurl/Like shavings from your cobbles shoes/Lets hope your curl you never lose". That's followed immediately by Richardson's Ode to Straight Hair. There is a clipping of and essay she submitted to The Beacon her high school literary magazine which she edited in her senior year 1923-4. A rather wry note is jotted in June 1926: "And then I went to College - apparently inspiration ceased. Can I recall it" And indeed she did as this comment is followed by several poems that were published in the Tuftonian Tufts University literary publication where she served as one of "two Jackson editors". The second volume contains poems that date from 1923 to 1928. Some reappear from the first volume in a more edited form. Several are on types pages inserted into the book pages that contain her name and address. There is a 4-page handwritten list of publications that accept poetry and 4 pages of notes on ideas for submitting poems for children. This is a very fine collection of writing from an accomplished young writer. She displays a natural ability with words and a literary scholar would recognize and appreciate her talent. Her early death was a loss to American Literature. Both diaries are softcover and measure 9.75"x7.5". The 1919 diary has 74 pages and is 100% complete. The 1923 diary contains 100 pages and is 25% complete. Both diaries are in good condition. ; Manuscripts; 9.75" x 7.5"; Signed by Author . Tufts University Sigma Kappa C1920s paperback

1872170118Washington D.C. 1872. unbound. 4 pages front and back with each two-page spread measuring 10 x 16 inches marked "Private" Washington D.C. April 12 1872. Rare letter by the American politician and negotiator to the former Confederate States of America Treasurer Tyler in preparation for Richardson's successful trip to Geneva to obtain damages from Great Britain letting Tyler know of a Judgeship opportunity available to him by the means of Richardson's resignation in part: ".In any article that is written in the newspaper perhaps it will be well to state the fact of the immediate cause of my resignation the desire of Secretary of the Treasury Boutwell to have me manage the refunding of the national debt after my successful operation of the hundred million negotiation in London.Now I hope you will be my successor and you must attend to it immediately and persistently." It has long been speculated that the job opportunity and Tyler's assistance to the government were linked and crucial to the successful outcome of the Alabama Claims Commission.<br/> <br/> unknown
