200520426New York: Pantheon Books. Fine in Near Fine dj. c.2005. First Edition. Hardcover. 0375423826 . beautiful clean copy no discernible wear to book at all; jacket shows only light surface handling wear. B&W photographs The first full-scale biography of the first African-American movie star whose talents were channeled by the narrow and essentially racist world-view of the Hollywood mainstream cinema into comic portrayals of lazy shiftless black men -- stereotypical roles of the worst sort which he filled with such brilliance that his very name became a kind of shorthand for the stereotype itself. Ironically his on-screen subserviance made him an off-screen millionaire "the highest paid and most popular black comedian in America during Hollywood's Golden Age" but his off-screen behavior and extravagant lifestyle eventually drove him into bankruptcy and near-destitution. He fortunately lived long enough to have been "rediscovered" and honored for his achievements but he was a controversial and even by some reviled figure right to the end and even today it's hard for modern audiences to see through the stereotypical characters to the talented man behind them. .

This focused assembly of 130 works 100 of which are promised gifts to the museum not only showcases Stenn's personal taste vision and passion as a collector but also offers a window into an era when artists reconsidered and reinvented the medium of drawing." museum site With essays by Mel Bochner and Mark Pascale a collector interview conducted by Mark Pascale an exhibition checklist arranged by artist name and the many full-color plates.

20029313London: Eagle Gallery 2002. One of 12 copies all on BKK Rives and Tosa Shoji paper each signed and numbered by the artist. Page size: 11-7/8 inches x 7-3/8 inche; 78pp. All with 9 dry points by Jane Joseph editioned by Marie Walker and 9 poems by Mel Gooding printed letterpress by Graham Bignell at New North Press on Tosa Shoji set in Legacy Sans. Bound by Tracey Rowledge: handmade olive green Japanese paper over paper boards with title printed in silver on front cover housed in publisher's white slipcase fine.<br/>The 9 dry points perfectly complement Gooding's verse. Joseph's images of common plants such as pussy willow ragwort bluebells and the like are anything but prosaic. Rather she infuses her images with the dignity of all living things and finds beauty in the simple lines. Gooding's verse does the same - "Close garden cousin of wild 'nonscriptus' / 'washes' paler but not less beautiful." - Garden Bluebell. For anyone who loves flowers and gardening this book will have particular resonance. Eagle Gallery unknown books
