1991127445Encinitas California: Artra Publishing Inc 1991. First. Hardbound. VG light edge wear. Purple boards with color illustrated DJ 112pp profuse color plates. From the jacket--Alive in a world tolerant of eclecticism and skeptical of traditional values John Asaro's paintings are an anomaly. His canvases like zealous missionaries speak clearly and colorfully of life are both expressionistic and concise pragmatic and technically adventurous. Paradoxically his "romantic realism" invades the art scene like a whiff of orange blossoms as refreshing and pungent to our senses as the seaside images permeating the pages of this book.

1966132233Germany: Peter-Presse / Atlas Films 1966. Original German A1 poster for a 1966 German re-release of the 1942 US film. <br/><br/>Orson Welles' followup to "Citizen Kane" 1941 was utterly different from Kane in style and texture but just as brilliant in its own way. Writer-director Welles does not appear on camera but his voiceover narration superbly sets the stage for the movie's action which fades in valentine fashion on Amberson Mansion the most ostentatious dwelling in all of turn-of-century Indianapolis. Despite the legendarily unsolvable problem of film editor Robert Wise being instructed by the studio-outside Welles' knowledge-to edit away nearly an hour of the film's length it remains a masterpiece of storytelling bringing Tarkington's Pulitzer winning novel to life in high style. <br/><br/>Shipping billed at cost. Item can only be shipped within the US. <br/><br/>23 x 33 inches non-archivally mounted on board. Light rubbing and soil and a few edge nicks and chips. Very Good.
