This is the first biography of Henry Mayo Batemanone of England's most famous and most original humorous artists. Born in 1887Bateman createdfrom traditional rootsnew and vivid ways of portraying the manners and mannerisms of the his age.From Edwardian times until the Second World War his cartoons characterized the preoccupations of contemporary society and eventuallywith the creation of his famous 'Man Who . . .' seriespassed into the folklore of the nation.Stage by stagerather than day by daythe book takes a fascinating look at the major areas of Bateman's life and workrelating one to the other as each evolved - with the success he knew as a cartoonist providing a moving counterpoint to the inner struggles of the man.His life was a mixture of great enthusiasm and deep depressionof huge success and bitter failure.His personality was complex; a shy and reticent man never quite at ease amongst the society he so vividly portrayedhe needed long periods of solitude and isolation.Many of his cartoons reflect his personal disquiet and have a far more particular meaning than is at first apparent: they offer not only a wonderful portrait of society in his time but also a remarkable insight into his own concerns and feelings. The book is carefully illustrated with over two hundred cartoons in colour and black and white which are closely integrated with the text: some will be familiarothers are less well known and appear here for the first time. The author pays tribute to a unique and powerful talent and holds a revealing mirror up to the awkward and complex nature of the man who was H. M. Bateman.The author's wife Lucyis the granddaughter of H.M. Bateman.He has worked closely over a number of years with the artist's family to research this book which contains some previously unprinted drawingspaintings and writings from the family archive.

19500008067Paris France. Good. 1950. On offer is a rare group of manuscript and typed notes written by one of France's most influential art critics and exhibition organizers. The collection comprises 58 loose-leaf pages 8.5 inches by 11 inches and dates from the 1950s or 1960s. The typed manuscript is single-sided and accompanying notes are for the most part double-sided. The entire collection is in French and is in very good condition. Andre-Berne-Joffroy was born in 1915 and passed away at the age of 93 in 2007. He worked for twenty five years at the Museum of Modern Art in the city of Paris as mission manager. He was responsible for many of the important Paris exhibitions of modern art from the 1950s through the 1980s He created a number of significant exhibitions such as Lam Matta and Penalha in 1968 Kandinsky in 1972 Music in 1972-1973 Hartung in 1980. But the most important of his initiatives were presented outside his home museum: "Pierre Loeb" at the Loeb Gallery in 1979. He is also credited with the rediscovery of the Italian master artist Michelangelo Caravaggio with the publication in 1959 of the book Le Dossier Caravage. Caravaggio had a formative influence on the Baroque school of painting. The manuscript is titled La Peinture Byzantine and refers to a particular style of painting. Another page has the notation Staël Galerie Dubourg at the top of the page. This refers to the great French painter Nicholas de Staël who Berne-Joffroy knew and had written about. This is a rare collection from one of France's great art critics and writers. An art historian would find them most valuable for the insights gleaned from Berne-Joffroy's notes and drafts. Certainly they are important to anyone studying France's overwhelming importance in the world of art.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF FRANCE ANDRE BERNE-JOFFROY; MUSEUM OF MODERN ART PARIS; RENÉ HÉRON DE VILLEFOSSE CARRAVAGGIO; LOEB GALLERY; GALERIE DUBOURG; NICOLAS DE STAËL; FRENCH ART; BYZANTINE PAINTING; BYZANTINE ART; HISTORY OF ART; ART HISTORIANS; FRENCH ART CRITICS; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown
