Near Fine. light wear to covers corners & spine edges. interior clean & bright. dustjacket as light scuffs. oblong white boards w/ color illustration. 118 pgs w/ color & bw illustration. white dustjacket w/ cover illustration. "Contemporary Lithographs was a pioneering scheme set up by Robert Wellington who had helped make Zwemmer's the centre for modern art in the 1930s and the artist John Piper. Their inspiration was to take good quality prints into schools across Britain. Together they commissioned and produced two series of prints with in some cases Piper taking on the task of coaching artists who were not familiar with the auto-lithography process. They involved many of the Zwemmer artists as well as their own friends: Edward Bawden the Nash brothers Eric Ravilious Graham Sutherland and John Piper himself." "This beautifully produced book reproduces all the works for the first time and traces the scheme from its ambitious beginnings to its closure at the start of WWII. With its companion The School Prints it will appeal to anyone interested in Modern British Art and sit perfectly alongside several titles in the ACC Design series."--Jacket.

201911402Stillwater ME 2019. Artist's book unique from a series with excerpts from Celia Thaxter's AN ISALND GARDEN reflecting the noted poet's garden in Spring and Summer on Arches text wove signed and dated by the artist Nancy Ruth Leavitt with the notation that this is her 121st manuscript book. Page size: Autumn: Still the Garden Glows. Excerpts from AN ISLAND GARDEN ; 30pp. 24 of which are painted in watercolor and gouache. The previous two titles in the series were slightly larger as befits the longer seasons they represent. Bound by the artist: handsewn in Katie MacGregor handmade paper wrappers on which the artist has painted three large green blooms; housed in custom-made light green cloth over boards clamshell box with label and painted by the artist in greens and oranges - each letter a variant color. <br/>The text is as with the two previous volumes taken from Celia Thaxter's last book she died the year the book was published and according to the important American bibliographer Jacob Blanck it was "one of the most elaborate pieces of bookmaking of the period" featuring cover and page design by Sarah Wyman Whitman and chromolithographs after paintings by Thaxter's friend and guest on Appledore Island Childe Hassam. <br/>Nancy Ruth Leavitt has chosen to interpret Thaxter's text through the flowers the poet describes so lovingly - with smaller amounts of text - scattered below above and beside the major "event" of each page: the flowers. This is the exact opposite of the first edition of Thaxter's important book where the text is first and foremost highlighted by single stalks and single page chromolithographs of Hassam's renderings of the landscape of Appledore Island the gardener and some of her garden. Ms. Leavitt's dizzying exuberant images of flowers are a perfect reflection of the prose: "the clumps of wild roses glow with the red haws in the full light" and "goldenrod and wild asters bloom and a touch of fire begins to light up the huckleberry bushes." The last quote included by Ms. Leavitt signals the closing down of the summer garden until the following spring: "Autumn laying here and there a fiery finger on the leaves." This is lettered in oranges and greens on a vertical above the bold image of greens tipped with orange and red slanting down to the bottom of the last page. Although we are saddened to see the end of the growing season we know it will return and until then we have the inspiring images created here. unknown books

2012166505Novato California: The Pirkle Jones Foundation 2012. Hardcover. VG- corner bumping to top front of cover and pages. BW-photographic boards with black and white lettering. 144 pp. BW illustrations. "Black Power Flower Power" documents two of the most fascinating stories of 20th century America's cultural history-the growth of the Black Liberation Movement embodied by the Black Panthers and the 1967 blossoming of hippie "flower power" in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district. Photographers Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch masterfully documented the early days of the Black Panther Party in the San Francisco bay area. This significant movement changed the fabric of the United States. Their photographs profoundly chronicle the influence on American social political and cultural life and suggest the universal theme of family commitment and hope for the future. Ruth-Marion Baruch's photographs of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love in 1967 depicts a Mecca transformed by the psychedelic music fashion and anti-war sentiment of the counterculture movement. -Amazon.
