19683280Orleans France 1968. Very good. 3 sheets 270 x 210 mm printed "roneotype" i.e. mimeographed on both sides to produce 6 pp. stapled as issued. Some insignificant toning a trifle soiled along folds. Suitable for exhibition and study. "Meta-Art" / Concrete Poetry in the service of revolution namely the May-June '68 student uprising that almost toppled the De Gaulle administration. <br/><br/>Here offered is the 6-page mimeograph Manifesto for the Occupation of the University of Orleans Library being an offprint from Moineua's own "Ne coupez-pas" journal no. 1 May 1968 et no. 2 November 1968 of which only 4 issues were published. "Ne coupez-pas" was devoted to political discussions visual poetry and typographical and design experiments we have been unable to locate a complete set. Whereas Moineau was a founding member of the "Meta-Art" avant-garde group and was active alongside concrete artists and activists such as Henri Chopin Moineau's graphic output was limited to only a few years late 60s. <br/><br/>The events of May 1968 have entered into social and cultural legend. While French students were leading the nation into a veritable revolution new waves of revolt spread across Europe in France and Italy particularly Mexico and Czechoslovakia culminating in the Prague Spring uprising. But the Student Revolt in France remains iconic: its proliferation outward to other sectors of French society culminated in a vast general strike that paralyzed the government. <br/><br/>The Mai '68 posters pamphlets and leaflets brought bold and exciting elements to typographic and graphic design as is attested by the present "lo-fi" mimeograph. In the words of the Parisian agit-prop Atelier Populaire these rude and hastily fabricated materials are described as "weapons in the service of the struggle and are an inseparable part of it. Their rightful place is in the centers of conflict that is to say in the streets and on the walls of the factories. To use them for decorative purposes to display them in bourgeois places of culture or to consider them as objects of aesthetic interest is to impair both their function and their effect. This is why the Atelier Populaire has always refused to put them on sale. Even to keep them as historical evidence of a certain stage in the struggle is a betrayal for the struggle itself is of such primary importance that the position of an 'outside' observer is a fiction which inevitably plays into the hands of the ruling class. That is why these works should not be taken as the final outcome of an experience but as an inducement for finding through contact with the masses new levels of action both on the cultural and the political plane." <br/><br/>Jean-Claude Moineau b. 1944 was a professor of mathematics Faculty of Science at the University of Orleans. Occasioned by the Mai '68 student revolts in Paris he organized the occupation of the University of Orleans Library. He soon formed the artistic revolutionary groupe GRRRR Groupe de Recherche et de Réalisation d'une Reflexion Révolutionnaire and the journal "Ne coupez-pas." Very few of his graphic works are known. unknown books

A near fine book with some rubbing to the top edge of the boards - without inscriptions. In a near fine gently spine faded dust wrapper which is unclipped showing $7.95. Some rubbing to the corners. George Romero's 'Dawn of the Dead' 1978 is a seminal horror film often hailed as a masterpiece of the zombie genre. This iconic sequel to 'Night of the Living Dead' showcases Romero's sharp social commentary using a shopping mall setting to critique consumerism. The film follows a group of survivors who barricade themselves inside the mall as the undead swarm outside offering a tense and gory exploration of human survival instincts. Romero's groundbreaking special effects and innovative use of practical makeup designed by Tom Savini set a new standard for horror cinema. Dawn of the Dead is celebrated for its blend of horror satire and intense action making it a cult classic that continues to influence filmmakers and pop culture. With its compelling narrative and unforgettable visuals the film remains a cornerstone of zombie lore solidifying Romero's legacy as a pioneer of modern horror. St. Martin's Press hardcover

1919157244London: John Lane The Bodley Head 1919. Hardcover. Good. 287 p. interspersed with plates. 30 cm. Frontispiece and 51 other plates many in colour. Numerous b&w in-text illustrations. Quarter white cloth with blue paper. Boards a bit warped. Cloth soiled some stains to paper. Corners worn. Bookplate on front free endpaper. Foxing to text block edges and some plates. <br/><br/>Sir Frank William Brangwyn RA RWS RBA 1867 1956 was a Welsh artist painter watercolourist printmaker illustrator and designer. Famous in his lifetime he is less well known today. It's possible to link the decline of interest in Brangwyn's work to the decline of the British Empire itself. The artist's bold vigorous style was suited to the optimistic spirit of late-Victorian British societybut inconsistent with the less confident feeling prevalent in the post World War I period.

195112311TRIPTYCH OF ORIGINAL SCRATCHBOARDS FOR STEWARD'S UNPUBLISHED TRANSLATION OF JEAN GENET'S QUERELLE <br /> Three scratchboards two 12'x 15" the other 16" x 12" depicting critical scenes from Jean Genet's classic Querelle. Two are uniform in size and are matted and framed in the style of the oblong one which wads originally matted and framed by the artist. <br />The life of Sam Steward 1909 - 1983 the subject of Justin Spring's biography "Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward Professsor; Tattoo Artist and Sexual Renegade "Farrar Strauss Giroux 2010 took Steward from a small town Ohio upbringing to personal friendships with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas associations with George Platt Lynes Glenway Wescott and other literati and a close relationship with sex researcher Alfred Kinsey. Steward's life may well be most provocatively known for his explicit diaries journals photography and art that both recorded his sexual life in detail and which he shared with Kinsey. Starting out as an English professor at DePaul University with literary aspirations and after writing several commercially unsuccessful books Steward attempted mid-life in the early 1950s to seek approval from Jean Genet to publish his own English translation—with his own original illustrations - of Querelle de Brest. When it became clear to Steward that Genet was disinterested he dropped the project: these three scratchboards the art he he created for it. Steward's pursuit of "serious" literary expression ebbed and later in the 1960s under the pseudonym Phil Andros he authored a series of gay paperback novels STUD The Greek Way etc. regarded as the most literate of homoerotic fiction featuring his alter-ego hustler. He turned his artistic energies to tattooing operating parlors catering to naval and military servicemen in Chicago Milwaukee and finally Oakland. And his sexual activities increasingly involved sadomasochism in which he had always been interested All three of these drawings were reproduced in "An Obscene Diary: The Visual World of Sam Steward" Antonius Press/ Elysium Press 2010. During Steward's lifetime the "Lucky Strike" image was published in the Zurich-based Der Kries an early homophile publication introduced to Steward by Dr. Kinsey and also in the rare anthology of homoerotic art published by Der Kries in 1960 Der Mann in der Zeichnung under one of Steward's pseudonyms <br />Philip von Chicago. Spring writes: "Noteworthy among Steward's many illustrations for Der Kries is one that was originally created for Steward's 1951- 1952 English language translation of Querelle de Brest. Working form Polaroid photographs taken of himself in various poses Steward fashioned three scratchboard illustrations for the story. In the first a man lights a cigarette for a sailor; in the second Querelle strangles the Armenian pederast; in the third Querelle is penetrated by the bartender husband of Madame Lysiane. The illustration of the sailor having his cigarette lit subsequently appeared in Der Kreis under the caption "Lucky Strike." Indeed Steward etched "LUCKY STRIKE" in the cigarette in the picture on the verso it is signed "Sam Steward 1951 1952". The strangulation picture has in Steward's hand on the verso: "From Genet's Querelle de Brest. Querelle strangles the Armenian". In the picture itself Steward etched his signature and date in the design on the Armenian's shirtcuff: "Sparrow Phil 1951". The picture of Querelle and the bartender in sexual union hung on the wall of Steward's apartment for many years. It is pictured in one of Steward's sex Polaroids reproduced in "Obscene Diary". On the verso of it Steward wrote "L'Execution De Querelle 9-19-51" <br />Steward did not work in scratchboard alone. His art was quite versatile: murals in his apartments tempera watercolor pastel pen/ink and some wire sculpture and collage. These drawings could be regarded as the most important of his visual art. While they were motivated by literary aspiration they in effect represented a real turning point in his life. They combine a fascination with uniformed sailors and sadomasochism that was thematic to much of his art. And finally with their clear bold stroke of line these scratchboards capture intrinsically the violence and passion in Genet's landmark of 20th century erotic literature. <br /><i>NOTES ON THE IMAGES: The framed pictures are the orignals. The picture on the horizontal hung as framed on Seward's wall witness to his sexual activites as imaged in the cropped snapshot reproduced in Obscene Diary. The two original images on the vertical were reframed in the style that Seward framed the horizontal one. The close-ups of Seward's signature is from the verso of the horizontal image: the other two are photocopies taken from the versos before they were framed. The two reproduced images are as reproduced in the book Obscene Diary. </i> original art books
