Harry Hahn The Rape of LaBelle
Frank Glenn B00220CB6C Hardcover Good
B00220CB6C Hardcover, 1st edition, dust jacket was cut up in three vertical pieces and found inside of book, so included for information purposes only, 274 pages, black cloth boards, 1946 copyright, a gift dedication written on first page, with some bookseller's pencil marks on upper right side of page. Insides of front and back covers slightly wrinkled may be slight water damage since ink from dedication is slightly blurred, and has run into inside of front cover as well, where there is some light marking. Usually ships with delivery confirmation. Here is the summary from the remaining endflap: The cause celebre of La Belle Ferronnierre or The Lady In The Red Dress painted by Leonardo da Vinci was more than a gigantic art duel between two stubborn antagonists. The volume in your hands is packed with the sheer intrigue and dramatic suspense of a first class mystery thriller. Sir Joseph Duveen, bead of the international Art firm of Duveen Bros. Inc. staked his fabulous fortune and world wide reputation as well as the professional integrity of his hand picked clan of famous art experts on a tricky court defense that can well be termed the most shameful episode in the annals of 'big business in art.' In THE RAPE OF LA BELLE, Harry Hahn carries you step by step through an intricate maze of expert testimony. He carefully screens, then flails the methods, pretensions and professional competence of the Duveen clan of world famous art critics whose certificates attest the genuineness of hundreds of paintings in important public and private collections. Mr. Hahn has given to this important documentary work the fruits of years of research in the Archives of Europe. In the special field of the scientific examination of paintings he throws down the gauntlet in no uncertain manner to Bernard Berenson and his followers passing their expert testimony through a filter and a lens of inquiry that leaves little less than precipitate at the nether end. THE RAPE OF LA BELLE is a volume of a stature that the art world will find hard to forget. *

Jeffrey Russell Hayes Signs of inspiration: The art of Prophet William J. Blackmon
Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University 0945366078 / 9780945366072 Very Good
0945366078 Trade paperback, 84 pages, (8 1/4 inches wide x 11 inches high), Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art publishers, 1999 copyright. Book shows very little wear, covers have superficial scratches, binding is tight. Usually ships with delivery confirmation. Catalog for traveling show in 1999-2001 for William J. Blackmon - self professed prophet and self-taught artist of compelling paintings. From the foreword of the book: Within the movement of contemporary self-taught folk artists, there are some extraordinary persons whose artistic gifts are wedded to their vision of life. Prophet William J. Blackmon is Milwaukee's contribution to this lively art movement. His vision emerges directly from his religious beliefs, and these beliefs are unwaveringly joined with his urban-based social concerns. His art is aimed at action rather than reflection The message embedded in the visual and verbal forms of the paintings is intended to save lives rather than merely to entertain or to elicit contemplation. At their best, Blackmon's images are compelling in their freshness and simplicity. Their most attractive quality is their ability to communicate directly to viewers. In this sense, they perfectly fit the aesthetic of Leo Tolstoy, who believed that the direct and immediate communication of feeling was the measure of successful art. *

It highlights - close up and in colour - outstanding examples of design and craft in prints, paintings and screens, metalwork, ceramics, wood, stone and lacquer. The book opens with an introduction asking 'What is Japanese art?' This is followed by a series of thematic chapters in which the author provides cultural context while pointing out exceptional features. By showing the complete object alongside enlarged details - sometimes virtually invisible to the naked eye - intriguing comparisons can be drawn between seemingly unrelated pieces. The selection of illustrations evokes the hand and eye of the most accomplished Japanese craftsmen and women past and present. Ideal as a souvenir or introduction to any museum or gallery visit, this book will also provide endless creative inspiration. *
