194046606Berlin: Vereinigte Verlagsgesellschaften Franke & Co. KG 1940. First edition. Softcover. Very good condition. Quarto. 8pp. Original photo-illustrated wraps with white lettering on cover. Illustrated promotional supplement of the periodical Illustrierter Film-Kurier in gravure. The 1940 film "Der ewige Jude" is a propaganda documentary about the world Jewry after an idea by Eberhard Taubert.<br /> <br /> As part of Goebbels' anti-Semitic strategy this film followed the 1937 art exhibition "Der ewige Jude" in Munich and the publication of a book in the same year and with the same title both with derogatory captions asserting the "degenerate Jewish race." Goebbels took an active role in the production of the film and insisted on Fritz Hippler as the director for the film. After the invasion of Poland Goebbels instructed Hippler to send camera crews to Poland to collect footage of Polish Jews. The film starts with an "impressive" foray through the Jewish ghettos in Poland depicting the Jews in filthy living conditions making a living through profiteering instead of honest work. The footage was manipulated in a way to show the Jews as originating in Palestine and from there flooding the earth drawing parallels to the way rats spread through new territory stressing the Jew's ability to adapt to various life styles. <br /> <br /> The promotional is illustrated with photomontages depicting Jews from various walks of life Polish street scenes a Rabbi holding up a knife in line with the brutal depiction of a Shechita as the face of Jewry juxtaposed with gleaming pictures of content German people and thankfulness towards a government willing to solve the "Jewish problem." Text in German. Slight wear along edges small closed tear at bottom of last page and some minor chipping along edges. Vereinigte Verlagsgesellschaften Franke & Co. KG unknown

197856289Los Angeles CA & Detroit MI: Chrysler Corp. ca. 1978-1980. 4to. 103 colour and black & white photographs sized 8 x 10 in. w/ nearly all featuring inventory numbers on versos many w/ concept artist’s identifying marks at lower fore-edge of images all w/ 3-hole punch at upper fore-edge. Black vinyl 3-ring binder manuscript label on spine w/ 1 sheet of manuscript tucked-into front cover entitled “Image Studies†rounded corners slight shelfwear light toning to leaf of manuscript NF exemplar. A fascinating Chrysler Corp. Design Group photo archive documenting the development of the full scale mock-ups and designs for the 1978 & 1979 Chrysler 300 Chrysler Cordoba as well as the rebadged Dodge Charger early concepts for the Dodge Minivan 5 years before introduction and the under appreciated Dodge Omni rally car. Many of the Chrysler concept car designs included here are signed by such artists as Svensen Kreiling and the famed Stewart Reed. The album opens with concept car designs for the 1979 Chrysler Cordoba 300 offering views of a concept car mock-up not only featuring a split between two different designs but also different wheels as well as views of the designs littering the walls and ceilings of the Chrysler Corp. Design Group studios. It also shows the nascent red & blue pinstriping on silver when the eventual production model featured that on a white background. Also shown are the development photos for the rebadged Dodge Challengers and Dodge Chargers basically reusing the Mitsubishi Galant Lambda as a base. Many of these Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Mopar concept cars are shown with a variety of artists’ renderings for Targa tops sleek modern lines and colours which unfortunately for Chrysler never made it into general production because if they had Chrysler may not have needed the 1979 bailout by the US Government. Of particular interest are the artists renderings of a 1978 Dodge Omni as a rally car and two very early concept designs for the Dodge/Chrysler minivan project led by Stewart Reed. The unsung Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon developed by Chrysler’s European Division were Chrysler’s first front-wheel compact car beating the K-Car to market by over three years and with its’ handling and popularity even received the attention of Carroll Shelby who worked to convert them into true performance race cars. The Minivan would remake the American auto market from the time of its eventual production introduction in 1984 revive the fortunes of Chrysler and spawn many competitors such as the Chevrolet Astro Ford Aerostar Toyota Previa and many others. Reed worked in Chrysler’s design group from 1971 to 1980 as part of the initial Minivan design team then Toyota’s Calty Design Research Inc. in Newport Beach CA and after 1994 operated his own design studio in Plymouth MI creating such concept vehicles as the 1998 Gear Box SUV and the 2001 Cunningham C7 Car.

20151973<p>First Edition. Artists' book 136 pp. : illustrations in color. Small 4to. Near fine. Illus. stiff wraps with unique collage element on the front cover. 1973</p><p><em>Winant's first major artists' book which includes texts by Matthew Brannon Moyra Davey Courtney Fiske Jim Fletcher Kenneth Goldsmith Jonathan Griffin Geoffrey Hilsabeck Michael Ned Holte Sarah McMenimen Anna Livia Alexander Provan Ross Simonini and John Yau. Per the 2016 review by PhotoEye the work is named after the 1974 Phillip Roth book of the same title yet "My Life as a Man makes no apparent contextual reference to Roth's book but the cover does appear as a small image multiple times in Winant's book. From the opening sequence which groups an image of a naked woman laying face down on a table under the watchful eyes of a team of male doctors with various other images of men gazing at woman it's clear the work offers a pointed critique of the ways in which the female form and gestures are controlled and imaged." Though the edition size is unstated the work is very rare and each copy comes with a unique collaged image on the cover and a folded poster of nearly completed New York Times crossword puzzles by Winant's mother</em>.</p> Horses Think Press

Original staple-stitched photo-illustrated wrappers by Aleksandr Rodchenko; 47 1 pp. With two leaves of plates featuring for example photographs and pictures of stage designs by A. Rodchenko to recto and verso on somewhat thicker paper stock. Wrappers somewhat dust-soiled and with traces of use; front cover nearly loosened; few leaves with small annotations; back cover with contemporary Soviet bookstore stamp; else very good. A single issue of this leading avant-garde journal of the eponymous artistic group Levyi front iskusstva Left front of the arts: LEF edited by the futurist poet and artist Vladimir Mayakovsky. Published monthly 1927-1928 twenty-four issues of the journal appeared in total. The original LEF published 1923-1925 introduced Constructivist design and formulated "productivism" as a movement in the arts. The editorial team also understood art as playing a central role in the class struggle. By 1925 just seven issues of the central organ of the Russian avant-garde had appeared. Due to massive criticism of its apparent incomprehensibility to the masses the journal was discontinued. Two years later the series continued under the name Novyi LEF New LEF for two more years with the final year appearing under the direction of Sergei Tretiakov. From the beginning Aleksandr Rodchenko was responsible for the cover design having won a cover design contest in 1923. See John Bowlt and Béatrice Hernad Aus vollem Halse Munich 1993 p. 135f. The 1927-1928 issues focused on Factography or "photography of fact" with a special interest in left-leaning cinema. The new publication positioned itself against the "poor taste" and "lack of class-consciousness" of art of the NEP period. Aware of the upcoming drive toward industrialization the editorial team understood the "twinning of art with production a necessary factor in the industrialization of the country." Novyi LEF featured Rodchenko's photographic experiments which were highly controversial at the time characterized by extreme perspectives dynamic oblique views and spatial superimpositions that significantly influenced the photography of the New Vision see Claudia Gabrielle Philipp in: Kat.
