Printed and bound at the Plimpton Press, Norwood, Massachusetts. Tipped in color frontispiece illustration by Childe Hassam; printed tissue guard. Ownership inscription and annotations by Zelia Krumbhaar Preston Hoffman. Minor wear, minor soil to binding, else very good. World War I poems by English poet Alfred Noyes, finely printed and bound, published by the Book Committee of the Art War Relief in New York City as a fundraiser. This copy contains the ownership inscription and several other annotations by Zelia Krumbhaar Preston Hoffman (18671929). She served during the war as acting president of the National Special Aid Society which financed the famed Franco-American military aviation unit, the Lafayette Escadrille. Contributors to the book include American artist Childe Hassam and sculptor Paul Manship. Hassam's patriotic painting "Allies' Day" is reproduced here in color as a frontispiece. The painting is from his flag series done at the end of the war. An embossed reproduction of Manship's medallion of "Victory" decorates the book's front cover. The book also includes a foreword by former U. S. President William Howard Taft. He notes that the co-beneficiaries of the proceeds of the sale of the book were the Royal Literary Fund and a fund ".for the relief of artists and their families who have suffered privations due to the war." Zelia Krumbhaar Preston Hoffman's ownership inscription notes her associations with various war relief and other charitable organizations such as the National Special Aid Society, the International Garden Club, and a committee of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Underneath her name, Hoffman outlines her extensive war-time charitable work: "President of the National Special Aid society during the Great War & Year of the Armistice 19171919President of the International Garden Club Inc. and Chairman of its War Work at Nevis and Bartow 15. East 84th Street New York City. Vice President of the Diocesan Auxiliary to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and Chairman of its Ways & Means Committee. (Secretary from it's beginning to 1917 and writer of its Constitution.)" The two poems contributed to the book by Noyes are "The Avenue of the Allies" and "Victory." At the head of the former poem, Hoffman makes reference to a public reading of the poem and organ concert she organized in New York City: "Read by Alfred Noyes at my Concert at Aeolian Hall before a distinguished audience, Ways & Means Com[mittee]. of the CathedralJan 1918. Monsieur [Joseph] Bonnet famous organist assisting." On the title page of the book, Hoffman expresses her her own admiration for Alfred Noyes and Childe Hassam by adding in ink before both of their names the phrase "Our great friend." After the war and after the death of her husband, Charles Frederick Hoffman (18561919), Zelia Hoffman moved to England and became a British citizen. She served as head of a local Liberal Women's Association and stood (unsuccessfully) as a Liberal party candidate for Parliament. 1.

Softcover. Condition: gut. 2011. Alfred Stieglitz. A legacy of light. In deutscher Sprache. pages.

Hardcover. Condition: New. In Stieglitz: A Beginning Light, Katherine Hoffman presented an account of the early years of the career of Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and of his European roots. Now, she offers a compelling portrait of his life and art from 1915 to 1946, focusing on his American works, issues of identity, and the rise of modernism in America.Hoffman explores Stieglitz's roles as photographer, editor, writer, and gallery director; how they intersected with his personal life ? including his marriage to artist Georgia O'Keeffe ? and his place in the cultural milieu of the 20th century. Excerpts from previously unpublished correspondence between Stieglitz and O'Keeffe reveal the fervor and complexity of their relationship as well as his passion for photography and modern art and his ongoing struggle to have photography recognized as an established artistic medium. These letters, along with his work as an editor and writer of short articles, illuminate Stieglitz's literary side, thus giving a new perspective on his total oeuvre.Generously illustrated with 300 images, this intriguing, beautifully written book separates the photographer's true personality from the myths surrounding him and highlights his lasting legacy: the works he left behind. …

First Edition. 8vo. 359, [19] pp. Uncommon title on modernism in terms of commerce. Herein is bridged late Jugendstil and a starker modernism one might associate with Bauhaus. While the Austrian-Hungarian Empire had collapsed with the conclusion of World War One, Vienna remained a cultural cauldron of real influence beyond. Only with the Anscluss would Austria's leadership in the arts falter, as many an artist was forced to emigrate or thrown into a concentration camp. This book, or guide, makes plain the fullness of creative energy still emanating from the former Habsburg domains. Josef Hoffman, of course, remains a revered figure in the arts to this day internationally. He was both an architect and designer of a wide array of decorative objects. As a founder of the Vienna Secession Movement, his ideas rippled in all the arts, and his move towards greater abstraction in design was in perfect sync with evolving styles of the times. Through a vast multitude of objects photographed covering ceramics, metalwork, toys, furniture, glassware, wallpaper and other decorative objects, this book celebrates the embrace of this modernism. A very large number of designers are represented, and so one gets a real sense of the creative ferment that was then stirring. Exciting is the diversity of visions sparked by the movement while generally adhering to the pared down vocabulary characterizing that movement. Advertisements in the back are also of interest. The cloth has light soiling. The interior shows signs of light use. Ex-library light, with the only evidence two small inked stamps on the title page.…
