200167551Aldershot: Ashgate 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The modernist aesthetic and later Nazi ideology split German Romantic painting into two opposed phases an early progressive movement represented by Caspar David Friedrich 1774-1840 and Philipp Otto Runge 1777-1810 and a later reactionary one - epitomized by Friedrich Overbeck 1789-1869 and Peter von Cornelius 1783-1867. In this rich and engaging book Mitchell Frank explores the continuities between these two phases to reconstruct the historical position that existed in the nineteenth century and to look once again at the Nazarenes - and Overbeck in particular - as a fully integrated part of the Romantic movement. His innovative book is crucial to an understanding of German Romanticism and the legacy of this period in European art." 64 illustrations. Tall octavo. Original black cloth binding with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Ashgate hardcover books

193613197JNew York: Macmillan 1936. First Edition First Issue. Signed by Margaret Mitchell on the flyleaf. Laid into the book is what is considered the finest Clark Gable letter extant an amazing reflection all about Gone With the Wind. Dated January 25 1960 it is a Typed Letter Signed in blue ink by Clark Gable on his printed stationery with the original stamped envelope which is written to the News Editor of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper Mr. Actor Cordell Jr. who had asked for Gable’s remarks on Gone With the Wind twenty years after the release of the film classic and to which Clark Gable wrote this amazing response: "Dear Mr. Cordell: I have received your letter of December 29 and will answer your questions in the order which you ask them. - Yes it does seem like 20 years. - I feel about GONE WITH THE WIND as being one of the greatest pictures ever made not because I played a leading role in it but because of the great story the way the story was brought to the screen the production it received and because of its very fine cast. When I look at the picture now after 20 years I still feel it is one of the finest motion pictures ever made. - Yes I think Rhett Butler is my favorite role and I am associated more with GONE WITH THE WIND than with any of my other pictures. - As to suggestions for the casting of Rhett in the forthcoming stage musical this is a little out of my line. I am sure the producer and the director will be completely capable of finding a very fine Rhett Butler. - Of the late Margaret Mitchell I would like to say that in addition to writing a wonderful novel she was of great help to me before I started working in the picture advising me of the manner in which she thought I should attempt to portray Butler. I listened to her and followed her advice and fortunately for me everything she told me was right. Naturally she was the one to whom I went for advice because she was the one who had created the character. I am forever grateful to Margaret Mitchell. - Most sincerely Signed Clark Gable.†This letter was written shortly before Gable left to film his final motion picture the late masterwork The Misfits co-starring Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift directed by John Huston using an original screenplay by Monroe’s husband Arthur Miller. Gable died in November a few days after shooting his last scene. This articulate and fascinating letter therefore remains his final observations about Gone With the Wind. The book itself is a near fine first edition in original cloth in a very good first issue dust jacket with some minor expert restoration by a paper conservationist. A truly historic piece enclosed in a very handsome custom morocco and cloth custom box. Macmillan hardcover books
