2006164959London: Merrell 2006. Hardcover. VG/VG. Orange boards with white lettering on spine. Illustrated dust jacket with white and grey lettering. 192 pp. Color illustrations. "Sean Scully born 1945 is one of the leading painters of our time. His successful career has been built on an apparently simple recipe of abstract painted stripes and bars in muted colours which despite their apparent simplicity and serentiy offer unsettlingly complex possibilities. His paintings are exhibited and collected by many major museums throughout the world from Canberra to Washington D.C." "This book brings together Scully's own writings for the first time and presents them alongside superb reproductions of the artist's paintings. The collection reveals Scully's sense of his position within modern painting and his understanding of and response to the artists whom he most admires. He discusses the circumstances that led him to become a painter; and outlines and expands on many of the themes that have engaged his art for the past twenty years."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Giorgio Morandi : Reisistance and persistence --; High and low or the sublime and the ordinary --; Van Gogh --; Diptych --; The argument --; The subject --; The wall --; Rothko : bodies of light --; On mythology abstraction and mystery --; Ian Stephenson : man of the north --; Liliane Tomasko : the third shore --; On photography --; On painting --; Landline --; Eva --; Interview with Eric Davies --; Yuendumu --; The Phillips Collection lecture.

192214259New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Good. 1922. 1st U.S. edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket solid enough book with binding intact but should be considered a reading copy only due to external wear and bumping an unsightly beverage-ring scar on the front cover see scan and internal tape repait to a page that had been ripped in half. Uncommon novel originally published in France in 1921. It's "historical fiction" in a sense but as the New York Times described it in 1922 "it is not a history of Salt Lake City as occupied by the Mormons so much as the story of the mental and physical anguish of a young widow who is unsuspectingly drawn into marriage with a Mormon and finds herself the second wife -- one of three wives and perhaps others." A stage adaptation was presented in Paris in 1926 about which the Times correspondent commented that the playwright "obviously knows very little about Utah and the history of the Mormons and Mormonism and was forced to rely entirely upon Pierre Benoit who also unfortunately knows very little concerning them a fact which did not prevent his novel from obtaining immense popularity in France." Nor did it prevent Benoit whose best-known work is probably "L'Atlantide" 1919 from becoming a member of the Académie française in 1931. . Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books

1960133256N.p.: N.p. 1960. Vintage borderless photograph from the 1962 film by photographer Andre Marinie. A candid on-the-set photograph of the film's reclusive director Robert Bresson behind the camera typically pensive and with cigarette in hand. Marinie's stamp and stamp from the film's production companies Agnes Delahaie Productions and Consortium <br/>Pathe on the verso. <br/><br/>Linda Rasmussen at AllMovie notes: "Characteristically breaking with tradition director Robert Bresson presents a realistic unique view of the life and death of Joan of Arc. Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. <br/><br/>"With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government was brought to trial convicted of heresy and burned as a witch. However Bresson shows Joan Florence Carrez as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan while more real is no less heroic than the traditional Joan."<br/><br/>In a custom museum-quality frame archivally mounted with UV glass. 9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine. N.p. unknown books
