Notes bibliographiques et historiques: Cette anthologie graphique et poétique a été mise en œuvre par l'éditeur bernois E.W. Kornfeld qui devait en assurer la diffusion et Sam Francis, qui en était l'editeur avec l'auteur Walasse Ting ; ils en partagèrent les frais. Le livre lui-même fut réalisé à Paris; les lithographies furent tirées chez Maurice Beaudet et la typographie par Georges Girard. Antoine Coron souligne le caractère de global book de “1¢ Life”, ses deux pôles étant New York, centre du pop art américain - une douzaine d'artistes se rattachent à ce mouvement - et Paris, mais un Paris peuplé d'Américains installés ou de passage, de Belges, de Néerlandais, de Danois... Dix nationalités sont représentées dans le livre où les seuls Français sont ses artisans imprimeurs. “1¢ Life” apparut comme le livre d'une génération de peintres américains et européens, dont certains (Walasse Ting et Sam Francis parmi les Américains) avaient vécu et s'étaient connus à Paris durant les années 50. [...] Livre de peintres par excellence, étonnant par la profusion de ses contributions graphiques, l'invention colorée de sa typographie, “1¢ Life”, comme “Poésie de mots inconnus”, fait tomber toute réticence face aux livres collectifs. Pourtant, à la différence du livre d’Iliazd, ce n’est pas la fermeté de sa construction qui en assure l’unité, mais la surprise que ménage le renouvellement constant de sa mise en pages (Antoine Coron). -- SHORT ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: A superb copy of Ting's collaborative masterpiece.

1962002863Grosset & Dunlap Publishers 1962 64 p. sm. 4to. Publisher's black paper hardcover white stamped title on spine and front board black/white photo illustrated endpapers with text interspersed with black/white plates matte black/white dust jacket. Blue ink gift inscription on the dedication page reads "Mel - Meet me in Las Vegas - your job of a lifetime awaits you dear. Frankie Baby." Measures: .31 W x 7.5 D x 10 H inches. Provenance: Northern California Estate. In 1943 Mel Tormé 1925-1999 made his movie debut in Frank Sinatra's 1915-1998 first film the musical Higher and Higher. Both their stars were on the rise. But once the 1960s hit Tormé's career at least on records started to quickly decline as Sinatra became an uber celebrity. Part of how Sinatra used his celebrity power was by promoting other artists notably Black performers in the 1960s in Las Vegas such as Sammy Davis Jr. 1925-1990 one of his Rat Pack. After Frank Sinatra left his 1950s residency at the Desert Inn he began performing at the Copa Room Sands Hotel in the 1960s. The book's gift inscription suggests a probable reference to Las Vegas residency opportunities such as Mel Tormé's opening act for Rich Little's 1938- residency at the Sands Hotel among others. For instance Sammy Davis Jr. once allowed Mel Tormé to open for his Las Vegas act but he soon discovered that Mel's show was too hard to follow. The audience was totally spent by the time Sammy got on stage. Anyway that was the story told by a Vegas gambler. Wiki Mel Tormé: Best Male Jazz Vocalist Content: An intimate portrait of Sinatra the entertainer Sinatra the millionaire entrepreneur Sinatra the pal - every facet of an enigmatic personality is explored. About the author: Robin Douglas-Home 1932-1968 was a British aristocrat jazz pianist journalist and leading society figure during the 1950s and 1960s. Douglas-Home met Sinatra in London and was struck by how far the public image missed the mark. He and Sinatra hit it off. Sinatra invited him back to the US where he tagged along for two whole months. The outcome is this provocative study an analysis of a latterday phenomenon - the one the only Frank Sinatra.

Illustrated. Very rare inscribed. Darryl F. Zanuck 1902 - 1979 was one of the founding fathers of the modern American film industry. In 1929 he became head of production for Warner Brothers helping to successfully guide the studio out of the silent film era into sound. After establishing Warner Brothers’ film style with such classics as ‘The Jazz Singer’ ‘The Public Enemy’ and ‘I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang’ he broke out on his own in 1933 after a dispute over studio policy and went on to form Twentieth Century Films with support and backing from Louis B. Mayer and Joseph M. Schenck. In 1935 Twentieth absorbed the financially troubled Fox studios thus becoming Twentieth Century-Fox. He was an unusually active participant in the development of the films his studio was producing and established a reputation as the most ‘hands-on’ of the major studio bosses as this script indicates. As producer some of his best known films include ‘Les Miserables’ ‘Young Mr. Lincoln’ ‘Drums Along the Mohawk’ ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ ‘How Green Was My Valley’ ‘Gentlemen’s Agreement’ ‘All About Eve’ ‘Viva Zapata!’ ‘The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit’ ‘The Sun Also Rises’ and ‘The Longest Day’ which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Nunnally Johnson 1897 - 1977 left his career as a journalist and short story writer in New York for Hollywood and found work as a scriptwriter and was hired full-time as a writer by 20th Century-Fox in 1935. Not long after he began producing films as well and cofounded International Pictures in 1943 with William Goetz. Johnson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1940 for ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ and the Directors Guild of America Best Directors Award in 1956 for ‘The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit’. He is also the author of such classic films as ‘The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel’ with Zanuck producing ‘The Prisoner of Shark Island’ ‘Jesse James’ ‘Tobacco Road’ ‘Three Came Home’ ‘The Keys to the Kingdom’ etc. Doubleday unknown books
