1960151331N.p.: N.p. 1960. Vintage satin banner with hand-sewn lettering by an unknown artist made after Paul Krassner and John Francis Putnam's 1963 poster. <br/><br/>Krassner created the "Fuck Communism" poster for sale through his satirical underground magazine The Realist with typography by longtime Mad magazine art director Putnam. In addition to publishing The Realist from 1958 to 2001 Krassner was a founder of the radical activist group the Youth International Party The Yippies and an early member of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters. <br/><br/>In the words of occasional Realist contributor Kurt Vonnegut "At the beginning of the 1960s FUCK was believed to be so full of bad magic as to be unprintable. . By having FUCK and COMMUNISM fight it out in a single sentence Krassner wasn't merely being funny as heck. He was demonstrating how preposterous it was for so many people to be responding to both words with such cockamamie Pavlovian fear and alarm." <br/><br/>36 x 14 inches. Near Fine. N.p. unknown books

Album containing unmounted watercolor and gouache pencil and color printed studies of individual pieces of furniture and interior design ensembles probably created as maquettes for advertising purposes.

Total of 48 pieces some a little rubbed or chipped along the edges; a few of the pencil sketches foxed; but the whole is overall nice and bright suitable for display. Remarkably detailed the polished wood shines! and accomplished artwork shows lavish nigh on palatial bedrooms and dining rooms -- with ornate beds bookcases chairs tables bureaus dressers and more prominently on display. 13 images in pencil or in color focus on specific pieces of furniture sometimes many per page taking them out of their context rooms and allowing a detailed look at the piece itself. The designs seem primarily focused on classical and neoclassical styles but Muebles Rodriguez is known for carrying modern colonial Provencal and avant garde pieces as well -- some of that influence is apparent here. A lovely and rich presentation. <br/><br/> unknown books
