Nearly every page in this work comprises in a 3 x 3 grid nine photographs taken by LeWitt of his home and studio. It is a fascinating window into the life of this very private artist. In these photographs we encounter his collections of Japanese prints his own artists' books music type samples art ephemera books photographs family heirlooms sculptures etc.<br /> In Esthétique du Livre d'Artiste: Une Introduction à l'art contemporain 2nd ed.: 2012 Anne Moeglin-Delcroix writes p. 275 "In giving a tour methodically exhaustively of all that fills up his studio LeWitt seems to recount his life through the photographs of his family bric-à -brac.Despite the title despite as well the small indiscreet pleasure that one takes in penetrating the universe where an artist whose impersonal structures were all that we knew until now did we know that he listened to Lassus and Bach that he read Beckett and Chandler that he admired Japanese prints and popular imagery the interest is somewhere else as is the presence of Sol LeWitt elsewhere. His presence asserts itself with force because it is entirely active there in the book itself."<br /> A near fine copy enhanced by a classic "Lines in Four Directions" drawing executed and signed by LeWitt for the recipient; faint sunning to the edges of the dust-jacket and very minor wear to the corners.

19081191031908. First Edition . SUN TZU. The Book of War. The Military Classic of the Far East. London: John Murray 1908. Octavo original gilt- and red-stamped green cloth. $8500.Rare first British edition of this essential military treatise""a text of matchless wisdom""dating back to the 5th century BCE featuring the translation into English by Calthrop a lovely copy in original cloth.Better known by the more popular translation of the title Art of War this seminal book of military strategy was written in the 5th or 6th century BCE and is attributed to Sun Tzu who ""is regarded as the first Chinese to have written about military affairs and as the founder of strategy"" Cornelli Sun Tzu and the Indirect Strategy. While there remains dispute over his life the work's profound influence is uncontested. ""It has been consulted by military figures and business strategists"" from Napoleon to Mao Zedong. General Douglas MacArthur stated ""I always kept a copy of Art of War on my desk"" and West Point uses it in a seminar on military strategy. To Sun-Tzu ""war was an extension of politics and required a coherent strategic and tactical theory and a practical doctrine governing intelligence planning command operational and administrative procedures To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting"" Ancient History Encyclopedia.The work remains pivotal to leaders in business the law professional sports and diplomacy. Its essential message is: ""Ripeness is all. That is he or she who takes a strategic approach to business lifewho is fit in mind body and spirit who is always ready for just about anythingis the player most likely to win the ongoing war that is life."" In effect the goal is to be ""so prepared for battle that battle has been rendered unnecessary"" Wall Street Journal. It is ""a text of matchless wisdom"" New Statesmen. Sun Tzu's work is a ""classic not just a military classic in the same sense that Thucydides' Peloponnesian War is a classic rather than a military classic like Thucydides it conjures the entire spectrum of human motivations that lead the already ultra-powerful to seek more power through violence. this classic returns us time and time again to the human scale and the extraordinary deeds that men and women find themselves capable of given the right situation"" Literary Hub. Each chapter is devoted to a unique aspect of warfare and treats it comprehensively. First translated into European languages about 200 years ago; this translation by Captain E.F. Calthrop was completed in the aftermath of the Anglo-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars. His translation served as the only one available until it was supplanted by that of Giles a British scholar. While Calthrop was treated as an interloper into the field of translation the importance of his endeavor should not be underestimated. Indeed Calthrop's achievement was made even more impressive by a later discovery that his mistakes were due in part to the source of his translationa Japanese version of Sun Tzu which was apparently corrupt. The first edition in English was published as Sonshi in Tokyo in 1905 Samuel Sunzi Art of War. Initially issued in 1905 this revised edition is the first British edition. Minor toning to spine.
