1908113106New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1908. Octavo pp. 1-8 1-2 3-11 312 note: first leaf is a blank inserted frontispiece original pictorial gray green cloth front panel stamped in green white and black spine panel stamped in black. First edition. Eleven short stories three with genre relevance. In "Varick's Lady o' Dreams" a young man has several visions over the years in which a woman appears saying that she is a real person who is having the same vision; she cannot reveal her name or where she lives her accent is foreign; in their final vision he kisses her and she laments that he has spoiled everything and banished the visions forever; he spends the rest of his life wandering about Europe trying to find her. "The Exorcism of Lily Bel" presents the transition from fantasy to reality in more optimistic terms when the imaginary female playmate of a young boy is displaced by the arrival of a real female playmate. "Her Last Day" is about a young woman who is slipping in and out of longer and longer periods of madness. During a lucid interval she realizes she'll eventually wind up in an asylum. She escapes from her nurse in a New York City hotel and enjoys one last day of excitement and pleasure with the help of a down-and-out young gentleman she meets in the park before retuning to her hotel and jumping out the window to end her life. A notch about the usual commercial fiction of the day. Worth a look. Smith American Fiction 1901-1925 J-209. A fine copy. #113106 Harper & Brothers Publishers unknown books

Pioneering conceptualist Jiro Takamatsu 1936-98 a major influence on the artists of the Mono-ha movement had a career that spanned 40-plus years during which time his considerable influence as an artist theorist and teacher extended across the Japanese postwar cultural landscape. Takamatsu sought to take art outside conventional and institutional settings collapsing the boundaries between art and life. His practice shifts across appearance and materials from drawing and sculpture to photography. This volume catalogs recently exhibited works at Kayne Griffin Corcoran Los Angeles including the seminal "Rusty Ground." Also included are archival photography of the artist's studio historical process images and stills from a 1974 Japanese television documentary depicting Takamatsu at work. Copiously illustrated the book offers a timely reevaluation of Takamatsu's practice following a significant resurgence of appreciation for the Japanese avant-garde.--Publisher.
