Chicago Marc Chagall 1979" AND SIGNED BY WILLEM DE KOONING IVAN ALBRIGHT JOAN MIRÓ AND GEORGIA O'KEEFFE FEATURING 100 COLOR REPRODUCTIONS OF THE ART INSTITUTE'S MOST FAMOUS WORKS. Issued as part of the festivities surrounding the Art Institute's 100th birthday in 1979 The Art of Institute of Chicago: 100 Masterpieces celebrates the museum's 100 most beloved masterpieces and the artists behind these great works. In addition to the valuable signature pages each on a separate preliminary page this book contains beautiful color reproductions of 100 of the most magnificent works held by world-renown museum.<br /> <br /> There was much fanfare surrounding the 100th anniversary of the Art Institute. In addition to this book's publication the institute was feted with a Centennial Birthday party and a month-long exhibition in March 1979 entitled "The Art Institute of Chicago: 100 Years".<br /> <br /> David C. Hilliard a life trustee who helped produce 100 Masterpieces explains that the deluxe limited editions were sold in large part to buy an Indian sculpture for the Institute in honor of Board Chairman James Alsdorf and his wife Marilyn. Devoted art fans themselves the couple's private collection of Indian and East Asian art helped academics and collectors contribute enormously to the scholarship surrounding this field.<br /> <br /> The process of getting the artists' signatures had its difficulties - particularly when it came to approaching the more irascible ones like Georgia O'Keeffe who was a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Per Hilliard:<br /> <br /> "There is a good story connected with the book. We sent a young man down to visit Georgia O'Keeffe and ask for her agreement to participate. Georgia could be prickly so we chose as our envoy a young man whose father had given her the land on which she had her house and studio. And indeed he was given a warm reception and tour. When they parted Georgia said she would sign. but then added "If you will tell me the location of my painting that I gave to the Art Institute 'East River from the Shelton.'" We were overjoyed and asked the American Arts Department to let us see it. As Georgia knew it had presumably been stolen years before and a full search could not locate it. But she relented I think she enjoyed her joke and signed the books anyway!"<br /> <br /> A rare and extraordinary work that powerfully encapsulates the growth and development of the Art Institute of Chicago from a tiny academy to a "hub of the city's artistic life" Encyclopedia of Chicago . All the more desirable with the signature of five of the 20th century's greatest artists.<br /> <br /> Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago 1978.

With Andre Breton Soupault was one of the founders of the Surrealist movement: "Soupault's earliest verse collection 'Aquarium' 1917 was published with the help of Guillaume Apollinaire who introduced Soupault to André Breton. In 1919 Soupault Breton and Louis Aragon cofounded the review 'Littérature'. Originally drawn to the antirationalism of the Dada movement Soupault soon rejected its nihilism and he and Breton experimented with other revolutionary techniques. One result of their experimentation was the "automatic writing" of the jointly authored 'Les Champs magnétiques' 1920; 'The Magnetic Fields' known as the first major Surrealist work. Soupault soon abandoned automatic writing to produce carefully crafted verses such as those in 'Westwego' 1922 and 'Georgia' 1926. As the Surrealist movement became increasingly dogmatic and political Soupault grew dissatisfied with it and eventually broke with it and Breton" Encyclopedia Britannica online.
