197524869Westlake Village CA: F & J Publishing Corp. Fine in Very Good dj. c.1975. First Edition. Hardcover. nice clean book with no discernible wear; jacket shows a touch of wear to a couple of upper corners light surface-rubbing. color and B&W reproductions An exploration of the life and work of Alfredo Ramos Martinez 1871-1946 who "fathered the great Mexican mural renaissance which made the names Orozco Rivera and Siqueiros world-famous." The author "has traced the artist from his early years in Mexico through the period of his European studies and his return to Mexico and finally to his climactic experience in the United States where he left a record of his finest work before he died." Laid in to this copy is a trifold brochure for an exhibition of Ramos Martinez's work presented at the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries in Los Angeles in October-November 1975; although not explicitly stated anywhere it seems likely that this also provided the occasion for the publication of this book. I believe this was the first and may still be the only full-length book about the artist published in English.

One of 300 copies quarto size 51 pp. The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily Märchen or Das Märchen is a fairy tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832 first published in 1795 in Friedrich Schiller's magazine "Die Horen" The Horae. It concludes Goethe's novella rondo "Conversations of German Emigrants" 1795 and is regarded as the founding example of the genre of "Kunstmärchen" or artistic fairy tale. The action of the story and its characters are continually faced with the dilemma of crossing a river or temporarily bridging it. The story acts as a metaphor or parable for the divide between the internal and external world and the aspirations of man to permanently bridge the two. <br/><br/>This was the first book illustrated by Ann Arnold and the last time she worked in linoleum.

1972165505London: Dennis Dobson 1972. Octavo boards. First British and first hardcover edition. "Nowhere is Lafferty's devout Catholicism more evident than in this strange mélange of a novel which incorporates elements of fantasy and science fiction while being indefinable as either. The book's madcap characters and bizarre settings are typical Lafferty as is the uncertainty about whether the wild plot essentially a secret history of the world amounts to a complete allegory or simply a crazy game -- or perhaps both. No matter since the result is also typical Lafferty in being highly entertaining and absorbing." - Barron ed Fantasy and Horror 1999 7-217.
