20125S.l.n.d. Paris École nationale des Beaux-Arts mai 1968. 1 affiche sérigraphiée 575 x 430. . Célèbre affiche liée aux événements de mai 68. . Les plus célèbres ont été fabriquées à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Monté de bric et de broc l'atelier de sérigraphie qui entre en fonctionnement le 15 mai en produira plusieurs centaines. Les thèmes et les slogans sont discutés lors d'assemblées fiévreuses réunissant étudiants et artistes au sein même de l'École des beaux-arts avec ses étudiants qui poursuivent leurs appels à la résistance. Le 27 juin elle sera évacuée par les forces de l'ordre. Ces affiches figurent parmi les plus célèbres et illustrent le monopole de l'ORTF et le contrôle de la parole par le pouvoir malgré l'apparition des radios périphériques. « Le monopole de l'ORTF faisait que les émetteurs de ces radios se situaient à l'étranger à l'exception de Radio Monte-Carlo dont le capital était possédé à 80 % par l'État. . Lorsque les journalistes faisaient en direct la description d'un mouvement de rue cela amenait très rapidement du monde sur les lieux et une petite manifestation pouvait vite devenir énorme. C'est pourquoi le pouvoir appelait Europe n° 1 « Radio Émeute ». Pour pouvoir couvrir l'événement en direct les radios avaient besoin de fréquences d'ondes courtes qui leur ont été très vite confisquées sous le prétexte officiel que la police en avait besoin pour la communication entre les cars des forces de l'ordre. Les journalistes en étaient réduits à monter chez les particuliers et à emprunter leur téléphone pour faire malgré tout du direct ». L'ORTF pour autant verra une partie de ses journalistes se mettre en grève ; plus d'une centaine d'entre eux seront licenciés à l'issue du conflit. Excellent état et très bon encrage mais sans cachet. S.l.n.d. [Paris, École nationale des Beaux-Arts, mai 1968]. 1 affiche sérigraphiée (575 x 430). unknown

1963253457New York 1963. unbound. All three of these one-page letters were written in New York City in 1963 to Italian-born left-wing political activist and publisher Carl Aldo Marzani concerning a prospective book Marzani was attempting to finalize. The first letter measures 11 x 8.5 inches and is dated January 7 1963 in small part: "I write with regret to say that all my friends agree that I better not write an introduction for your book. I am sorry that I have to consider the question whether my contributing would do more to hurt my general usefulness in this field. Roger Baldwin who was one of those with whom I discussed the matter made an interesting suggestion; namely that you try to get some person so far outside the general radical area that he would not have to consider the problem as I have to consider it.I hope you won't mind my saying in conclusion that there is a real trouble in the fact that communism in power goes so far beyond what is done here in the denial of freedom. Incidentally communism not in power has tried hard to keep me from speaking on various occasions." The second letter measures 8.5 x 5.5 inches and is dated January 8 1963 in part: ".Yes I am perfectly willing to be quoted as saying your book is 'original entertaining and effective' on the flap of the jacket.I hope you and Deutscher's opinion are right about what Russia will become. I am right in holding that we who hold civil liberties cannot have a double standard on judgment." The third letter measures 11 x 8.5 inches and is dated February 11 1963 in part: ".I am glad you are making progress with your book. Objectively I expect that there will be among the 'emerging' nations.a great deal of the sort of thing exemplified by Nkrumah but I would be entirely untrue to my deepest sense of values if I didn't protest it and I do not believe evolution out of this autocratic dictatorship will be fast except as it is protested.I by no means put what Nkrumah does in Africa on all fours with what Stalin did in Russia in the name of socialism." The recipient of these letters Carl Aldo Marzani 1912 - 1994 was a Communist Party organizer volunteer soldier in the Lincoln Brigade a member of the OSS and an employee of the U.S. Department of State. He is credited with picking the targets for the Doolittle raid on Tokyo as well as serving three years in Federal prison for having concealed his Communist Party USA CPUSA membership while in the OSS. Several staple holes in the upper left corners of each letter; light staining on the letter dated January 7 1963. Overall very good- condition.<br/> <br/> Presbyterian Minister who achieved fame as a socialist pacifist and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.<br/> <br/> unknown

16-5568New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. Gouache in 6 colors on board 22 x 14 inches."Free men cannot start a war but once it is started they can fight on in defeat. Herd men followers of a leader cannot do that and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.â€â€• John Steinbeck The Moon Is Down.The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form Of Mice and Men was his first. It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript published by Viking in 1942 Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception the book was a remarkable public success outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on saying he “did not care for The Moon is Down’s politics.†Serlin known for his production of “Life with Father†accepted the challenge believing Steinbeck’s play would attract a large audience. “The Moon is Down†premiered on Broadway in April 1942 starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was “trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season†while the critical consensus was that “Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies and ultimately too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.
