1908884571908. DESIGN Sugiura HISUI designer. MITSUKOSHI; MITSUKOSHI TIMES; OSAKA MITSUKOSHI Tokyo & Osaka 1908-1923. Western-style magazines 24.9 x 18.4 cm decorated wrappers. Lovely covers most by Sugiura Hisui 1876-1965 or designed under his supervision. Hisui is the most important figure in the development of Japanese commercial art in the 20th century the progenitor of "Taisho Chic" and a force to be reckoned with as a practical designer at Mitsukoshi and an educator at the Japan School of Art the Imperial School of Fine Art and the Tama Imperial School of Art which he co-founded. He even spent two years in Europe in the early 20s researching design. He created many portfolios of design examples for professionals wrote treatises on the principles of design and was a tireless creator of posters and magazine covers. He began work at Mitsukoshi in 1908 as a design consultant in charge of cover art for the house organ MITSUKOSHI TIMES. When MITSUKOSHI magazine began in 1912 he had already been promoted to head of design for the company a year earlier and stayed in that position for decades. His artwork graced the covers of many magazines over the years but it was his work for MITSUKOSHI and MITSUKOSHI TIMES and OSAKA MITSUKOSHI that began his design career. We are offering here a group of issues of those magazines most with his brilliant cover art. The magazines as a form of trade catalog and guide to fashion for the well-heeled clientele of Mitsukoshi department store were intrinsically ephemeral. They are hefty magazines a vade mecum for the bon ton with pictures of summer frocks kimono fabrics morning coats shoes - with instructions on how they should be cleaned stored worn. With pictures and prices and order sheets. Useful and used then thrown away they are seldom found today. A gathering of this size is quite unusual especially as it begins with issues of MITSUKOSHI TIMES from 1908 - the year that Hisui took over design reponsibilities for the house organ.

196110424San Francisco: Grabhorn Press 1961. Folio. 4 46 2 blank pp. illus. Limited edition one of 180 copies. This copy bound by Katy Starr-Baum in full black calf with inlays of sanded aluminum and pained paper as well as onlays of buffalo watersnake and stone veneer all arranged in a coronal design from front board to rear; graphite top edge with sprinkled palladium; handsewn silk endbands; hand-painted endpapers echo the cover design. Housed in clamshell box. <br /> <br /> A beautiful and fitting binding on one of the Grabhorn Shakespeare series with colored woodblock illustrations by Mary Grabhorn. A bold design using material that speaks to the time—stone and metal. The hand-painted endpapers evoke the night sky and have an iridescence that is dynamic when one opens the cover the light catching the paint shifts as the board moves. While boldly monochromatic what color there is in the binding the leather onlays and the painted paper picks up the pastels of Grabhorn's illustrations. The coronal design speaks to the backdrop of this play Henry IV holding onto power amidst treachery and Prince Hal's coming into the crown. But as Starr-Baum notes the design has a more potent deeper meaning: "the circular shape … represents familial cycles: the traits and behaviors that are passed down from one generation to the next and the transformation of Prince Hal into King Henry." A powerful binding by one of the most recent recipients of the Fine Binding Diploma of the elite American Academy of Bookbinding. Grabhorn Press unknown

Not wanting to seem like an opportunist taking advantage of the controversy and the publicity surround Mishima's death he contemplated shelving the project but was later persuaded by Mishima's widow Yoko who said that her husband would have wanted it to be released.

It was compiled from a huge number of stories anecdotes and songs collected by Guggenheim over a 14-year period.

Karol Kallay 1926-2012 was a citizen of the world a photographer with blue blood running in his veins who in the educational spirit of the First Republic remained a sworn Czechoslovak even after the breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1993. He was born a Hungarian aristocrat on the 26th of April 1926 in Cadca in Czechoslovakia’s First Republic where right from the republic’s beginnings the use of aristocratic titles - distinguishing those with “blue blood†from the mere mortals - was officially banned. Despite this his distinction conspicuously radiated out of him all his life. He always wanted to be a photographer. Perhaps it was because at the age of sixteen he won a gold medal in a Slovak photo contest. But it was also thanks to the excellent education he got from his older friends in the Trencin amateur photographic club Halasa Hajduch Farkas which was one of the many Slovak photographic societies started after the war by Jiri Jenicek an officer of the Czechoslovak army and a brilliant and enthusiastic amateur photographer. Kallay’s wise father didn’t want to impede his son’s “comedian career†as he regarded the photographic profession but he had one condition - his son had to study something proper first. And so Karol after the end of the Second World War studied commercial engineering and law in Bratislava. He worked for a construction company in Zilina and Sucany and in his free time he devoted himself to photo reportage as an associate of a photo weekly Domov and Svet. That brought him to Prague where he meet two eminent photographers: Karel Hajek the shining star of reportage photography and Jan Lukas whose recently published book Zeme a lide not only impressed him but practically predetermined his future photojournalistic direction in the spirit of humanistic photography. “Through Jan Lucas I discovered magazines - "Life" "Paris Match" "Illustrated London News" including fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "Harper’s Bazaar"; articles and the opinions of the aesthetician Alexander Libermann and the artistic direction of Alexey Brodovitch - it was all important learning for me because we didn’t have that in Slovakia†he remembers. And so Kallay’s specific bipolarity as an excellent fashion and advertising photographer was basically the source of his income with excellent reporting constantly mapping out the people’s lifestyles that he found on his frequent travels all over the world. Thanks to the Bratislava weekly magazine "Moda" to which he was a regular contributor he could leave his regular job in 1956 and become a freelance photographer. That opened the way for him to contribute to the most important foreign fashion magazines - mainly "Jardin des Modes" in Paris and "Saison" and "Sybille" in Berlin. And because of this at home he became forever known as a successful photographer of fashion who brought the freshness and the dynamism of live photography into his work. In other words: he stopped photographing models as stiff coat hangers. In addition he traveled published books and did reportages for prestigious magazines such as "Geo" "Stern" "Spiegel" "Focus" "Merian" "Sports International" "Paris Match" and "Illustré" of which at that time the world behind the iron curtain knew practically nothing about. And thanks to this talent Karol Kallay became a photo reporter like none other in Czechoslovakia. Mladé letá hardcover
