18872901London: By the Author 1887. First edition. 8vo. 213pp. Original maroon cloth titled and decorated in gilt white and blue to spine and front board. Some cracking in places to the cloth of the spine with a square flake of loss affecting the title at the head of the spine. Minor scuffing and shelfwear light bumping to extremities a strong and solid copy with some cosmetic problems. Internally clean glazed brown endpapers rather opulent altogether for a self published title. Inscribed by the author to James Lancaster Pollitt on the verso of the front flyleaf at the American Exhibition in London in 1887 where Brown had her Norse Exhibit. The American Exhibition that year was notable for the appearance of Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show. The book is also annotated throughout in pencil although the vagaries of late 19th century handwriting mean that the notes could be those of Brown Pollitt or a later owner. James Pollitt was something of a roving freelance reporter with a keen eye for detail who amongst other exploits was sent as an investigator to European prisons to see what kind of products the prison labourers were being made to manufacture. One of the first works to attempt to establish a "Viking" theory of discovery of America over the Columbus theory although in fairness the Viking hypothesis is rooted more in anti Catholic sentiment than in a concrete archaeological body of work.

Exhibition held at Métropole Musée d'art moderne d'art contemporain et d'art brut Lille English text. Summary: This book explores Amadeo Modigliani's work as sculptor and avant-garde portraitiste as much as his brief and productive career through Roger Dutilleul collection. The book considers the singular relationship between this passionate amateur who became one of the most important collectors of Modigliani's work and the artist whom he met in 1918 less than two years before his premature death. Amadeo Modigliani displays the dialogue that the young Italian artist maintained with antic and extra-Western sculptures from 1910 to 1914. It specifically highlights studies of heads and caryatides and Modigliani's patient analysis work such as modulating facial features. Health and financial conditions forced Modigliani to renounce sculpture in 1914. The second part features portraits of Modigliani's friends also actors of the Parisian avant-garde from Picasso's circle such as the writer Max Jacob the merchant Paul Guillaume Moïse Kisling Viking Eggeling Jacques Lipchitz Henri Laurens and Léopold Survage. Beyond friendship these portraits reveal artistic exchanges where painters and sculptors became Modigliani's models. In his last years Modigliani perfected his portrait's style which made him successful: the frame widens his palette lightens under the influence of Cézanne. In 1918 he met Dutilleul who purchased around thirty of his paintings and numerous drawings between 1918 and 1946 and posed as his model in 1919. Contents: Introduction; 4 essays: Modigliani and the art of distant countries; Artists' portraits; Roger Dutilleul and Modigliani; Modigliani and art market. Androgyny in Modigliani's art; Modigliani's library; Modigliani at Nice; Illustrated chronology; Modigliani's models' biographies. -- with a bonus offer-- . Gallimard paperback
