The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation. Auguste Rodin

Thunder Bay 1st 1995

(Order reference 11644).

From the blurb:

“More and more we are looking to cultures around the world for inspiration in decoration and design. The tribes of Africa and the peasants of Europe, ethnic groups such as the Pennsylvania Dutch, the canal folk of England: all offer a rich heritage of painting styles.

This book draws on these and many other sources to provide a wealth of ideas for painting furniture and practical items which will add colour and tone to any home. Each chapter covers a particular folk tradition and opens with an exploration of its influences and development. The Designs & Variations pages which follow form a unique visual reference for alternative motifs and colour combinations. A series of projects then outline the steps to producing your own works of art in that style. A general chapter shows clearly how to scale designs, mix colours and paint all the brush-strokes. There is also comprehensive information on crackling, antiquing and other ageing processes to turn your inexpensive furniture into priceless antiques.

Folk artists from around the world have contributed to this wonderful catalogue of images and information. Projects range from small to large, from simple to elaborate and are graded for the beginner, intermediate painter and advanced folk artist. Anyone who has ever picked up a brush or even just thought about doing so will find Decorative Painting of the World an invaluable guide and inspiration.”

This absorbing study surveys the developments in decorative design from the 1830s to the 1950s, showing how the modem age has affected the status of decoration and examining the role of ornament in a rapidly changing industrial society.
Arranged in three sections, the book opens with an introductory essay which looks at the cultural background of the discourse of decoration, bringing into play two major strands of decorative theory, and looking at the changing natures of modernism and traditionalism. The central section of this book is composed of pictorial examples, arranged in order of chronological development, from the most significant trends in taste and fashion. The concluding postscript expands on the origins and development of the two opposing strands identified, which the author defines as normative and critical `schools'. The first takes its foundation from the `Philosophical Radicals' and their programme of industrialisation and social reform, and is exemplified by Owen Jones and the Department of Science and Art; the second is the critical reaction led by Ruskin and the Arts and Crafts Movement. The one led toward the abandonment of decoration, the other toward its pastiche. The author concludes with a critical summary of the present sorry state of decoration. However, decoration is seen as a natural attribute of our species, and the discourse that has built up around it is by no means closed.

Thames & Hudson 1st 1986

(Order reference 13577).

The explosion of Modernist art and design which made its original impact at the Paris Exposition Internationale of 1925 was quick to find an echo in the United States. Art Nouveau, a sensation in its time, had become tired and jaded, and the joyous exuberance of the Art Deco style was just what was needed to take its place. Exhibitions of decorative arts were mounted in American museums, and the department stores competed with each other to introduce the new aesthetic to the American public. The artists at the forefront of this surge of creativity were at first European and predominantly French, but American designers were soon making their own contribution to the Deco style. As the dazzling illustrations in this book demonstrate, in sculpture, furniture, ceramics, architectural decoration, graphics, and virtually all the applied arts, American designers developed a dynamic, indigenous tradition.
Most of the important buildings of the 1930s, in all parts of the country, were embellished with Art Deco ornamentation — from the Oviatt Building in Los Angeles, decorated by Lalique, to New York's romantic Chrysler Building. Cinema-goers found the style adopted in films of the period, and Art Deco became part of the background of ordinary people. Yet, by the onset of World War II, Art Deco was almost played out and in a very short time it was completely out of fashion. Only in recent years has it become the target of enthusiastic collectors.
Alastair Duncan here explores in depth for the first time the wide and neglected subject of American Art Deco. With a wonderful array of more than 500 illustrations, including 233 in full colour, he reassesses and puts into perspective the work of such gifted artists as Donald Deskey, Joseph Urban, Paul Manship, Gilbert Rohde, Walter von Nessen, and many others — artists whose vision helped to transform American art and design.

I've always considered myself an outsider and I've always tried to do good by being bad.' Tibor Kalman's uncompromising 'anti-design' approach has provoked admiration and distaste in equal measure. Despite having no formal graphics training, Kalman has triumphed in a range of disciplines and media, moving on whenever the work seems to get too easy. Shattering the conventions of good taste and order, Kalman's in-your-face methods communicate through the power of humour, the vernacular and upside-down thinking.

Moving from the beginnings with Kalman's M&Co in the early 80s, the work for Talking Heads and the hip New York Restaurant Florent, to the creative directorship of Artforum and Interview, this book traces the trajectory of Kalman's design 'anti-career', often in his own words. The latter part of the book focuses on the Benetton-sponsored Colors magazine, in which Kalman, as editor-in-chief, tackled hot issues such as AIDS, poverty and racism with his characteristic blend of humour, radical commitment and provocative imagery. Using material drawn from interviews with Kalman himself, this book is a revealing portrait of the notorious 'anti-designer'.

Its norms are shaped by economic and social conditions; it can confirm a role or staus or be manipulated to overcome resistance to innovations that seem threatening.

Holt, Tonie & Valmai: In Search of the Better 'Ole - the life, the works and the collectables of Bruce Bairnsfather Milestone 1st 1985
4to, red bds, v min wrinkling to d/w edges + 1 small chip o/w F/VG++ 980 gms
(Order reference 14834).

Bruce Bairnsfather created the best known cartoon character of the First World War - 'Old Bill", and he drew what many consider to be the most enduring cartoon of all time - the “Better 'Ole". To those who experienced the privations of the years 1914-1918, the value of Bairnsfather's contribution to the morale of the nation, through laughter, is without question. To many he was "the man who won the war."

In this first biography of the man and his work, the authors trace his life in fascinating detail. Not only was he the first officially appointed British Officer Cartoonist, whose help was subsequently formally requested by the French, the Italians, the Americans and the Aussies, but he was also an international playwright, actor, accomplished lecturer, film producer and author. The man himself was a compelling paradox-a desperately shy person who adored the limelight: a loyal, lovable personality, ridden with suspicion: an upper class product who was more comfortable in the company of the working man: a lonely celebrity who should have won, but lost, a fortune

Bairnsfather s work can be found on plates, cups, jugs, mugs, pots, car mascots, ashtrays and the like - all now collectors pieces. His characters appeared on postcards, playing cards, cigarette cards. jig-saw puzzles. and during World War II on the noses of the daylight bombers of the American Eighth Airforce, for which he acted as official cartoonist.

In 1978 the Canadian National Film Archives gave a showing of the film, Carry on. Sergeant! on the 50th anniversary of its world premiere. It had been the first major movie produced in Canada. Its writer and producer was Bruce Bairnsfather and it resulted in scandal, intrigue and heavy financial loss. Nevertheless, it was a milestone in Canadian history.
Tonie and Valmai Holt recount the successes, the failures, the ventures with Charles Cochran. Darryl Zanuck and Seymour Hicks: how Sydney Chaplin played Old Bill and John Mills played Young Bill: the days as 'Lord of the Manor’- and bankruptcy: the episode with the actress, Constance Collier.

The story is illustrated with over 150 photographs and drawings, many of them never before published, and includes a section setting out the range and the values of Bairnsfather memorabilia and collectables that can be found by assiduous collectors.

The whole is linked by a narrative, both sympathetic and analytical, reflecting the ability of a husband and wife team of writers to see things from both male and female, military and civilian. points of view.

(Order reference 5232).

The past four decades have been years of revelation and acclaim for Inuit art. Prior to 1948, only the rare arctic traveller, trader or missionary knew of and collected the very small magical figures carved in ivory or soapstone by Inuit hunters.
Recognition came when the first exhibition and sale of carvings at the Handicrafts Guild in Montreal captured the attention of the press and of Montreal's art patrons.
Then followed the introduction of the stone-cut and stencil prints, the whale bone art, the woven tapestries, and the wall hangings.
Highlights of these remarkable events are described in this volume by involved and fluent writers: some are eye-witnesses to the unfolding of creative gifts; others are researchers detailing the history and the prehistory of the Inuit people and their art.
Three Inuit artists speak frankly about their art, and their hopes for the future—a viewpoint seldom expressed in print.
This selection of articles and illustrations will serve the newcomer well in providing a solid introduction to Inuit art; collectors and researchers will appreciate the gathering together of expert knowledge in one volume.

Albert Racinet's nineteenth century survey of ornament remains a classic work of fine art publishing. One hundred and twenty full-page colour plates are reproduced here to create a stunning visual history of ornament from Ancient Greece to modern times.
First published in Paris in 1885 as L'Ornement Polychrome, Deux¬ieme Serie, the coverage in this volume is global in scope. The first plates present the most vibrant ex¬amples of ornamental art from the great empires and their civilizations. From Rome, Byzantium, China and Arabia, colours and motifs can be compared in all their extravagance and beauty. In this volume is the representation of ornament from Eastern Europe: painted enamelling from the Ottoman Empire, illumi¬nated manuscripts from Armenia, and designs exemplifying the 'rhyth¬mical logic' which Racinet perceived as the principle underlying centuries of Russian ornament. The remaining plates discover the evolution of ornament century by century. Par¬ticularly noteworthy is the resplen¬dent jewellery, stained glass and marginal decoration of the Renais-sance and the Middle Ages.
Racinet's introduction and detailed plate captions explain the import¬ance of image and medium, from the essentially spiritual Egyptian symbols of the natural world to the `intense' tones of nineteenth century floral designs printed on wool mus¬lin. Accompanying line drawings help to clarify the process of identi¬fication and definition at work in the text.
With a classified index of media and subjects, this book will delight the student of art or design with the variety and exuberance of its glorious patterns.

Reade, Brian: Aubrey Beardsley
Antique Collectors' Club 1987
large 4to, blue cloth-cvred bds with gold titling to fr bd + spine, min wrinkling to d/w o/w VG++/VG++ 1890 gms
(Order reference 14873).


Aubrey Beardsley was born in 1872; diagnosed seven years later as tubercular, virtually untrained; famous by his early twenties and dead at twenty-five, leaving an immense volume of work and exercising a wider influence abroad than any English illustrator since Hogarth.

This book, the standard work and a mammoth task of collection by Brian Reade, provides the public with the opportunity to see virtually the entire collection of Beardsley's mature work, culled from a wide variety of sources, thus enabling the collector to distinguish between the genuine Beardsley and the hundreds of spurious pastiches attributed to him. This superb assembly of the work of one of Britain's greatest masters of line drawing is now reissued by the Antique Collectors' Club.

Aubrey Beardsley was once popularly described as a disciple of evil and identified with the 'decadent' excesses of Oscar Wilde. Indeed, it is possible to see in the intense sensuous drawings he produced during his brief working life, some connection with the character of Wilde's Dorian Gray.

Interest in Beardsley's work was revived in the mid-'sixties with a retrospective exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum and similar ones held in New York at the Gallery of Modern Art and at the County Museum, Los Angeles. Perhaps the key to his great popularity is his consummate ability with line and shape and his use of space. He did not need to express himself in colour — his defiant personality projected itself in black and white, not in three-dimensional realism. If some of his contemporaries saw it differently, `the mere glorification of a hideous and putrescent aspect of modern life', the fact remains he is now regarded as an artist draughtsman of brilliant invention.

From the blub:

“Although one of the greatest French artists of the last century, Braque is still to some extent overshadowed by Matisse and Picasso. Yet, as the recent retrospective exhibition in London revealed, Braque's highest achievements are no less profound and original than theirs, and his work has likewise proved one of the most fruitful sources for modern artists to draw upon.
Instead of devising one eye-catching style after another, Braque has devoted his time to less spectacular but, in the long run, more rewarding tasks: he has evolved an entirely fresh solution to the problem of representing form and space on a two-dimensional surface and, at the end of his life, has arrived at an original and valid conception of artistic reality. Braque makes us look at things with new eyes, gives us a new insight into their physical reality and arouses in us a new awareness of formal, spatial, and tactile values. That is why we have to recognize him as a great master. This book traces the artist's development through Fauvism and the various phases of Cubism, many of which Braque originated, up to the more esoteric and visionary achievements of recent years.
Throughout the preparation of this study the author has worked in close collaboration with Braque, consequently many of the statements are made with the artist's authority.”

Maps and Map Makers Tooley, R V: Maps and Map Makers
B T Batsford 6th edn 1978
4to F/VG++ 865 gms
(Order reference 6950).

This standard work gives full information and illustrations of the principal map-makers and map publishers and their work from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, combining an appreciation of the popular decorative side of early maps with historical and bibliographical notes. For this new edition a fresh general introduction has been provided, and the lists of authorities at the ends of chapters have been brought up to date.
“... a magnificently illustrated study of map-making from the earliest times to the mid-nineteenth century.”— The Daily Telegraph
“It is the first really extensive catalogue raisonne on its subject.”— New Statesman
“No book quite like Maps and Map-Makers, nor so useful in its way, has ever been published in England. Nor have we any work on this subject so well or so generously illustrated, for it contains nearly a hundred large plates, several of them in colour. It has come very opportunely.”— Dr Edward Lynam in The Spectator
“This is the most comprehensive book on maps yet published in England.”—The Times
“Amateur collectors will find this book most useful; experts, librarians and booksellers will hardly be able to dispense with it as a reference book.”— The American Geographical Magazine
The jacket illustration, of De Jode's map of Alaska, Antwerp 1593 is from a transparency by S. Gooders.
