Soft cover. Condition: Fine. A near new book that has A small wrinkle on the lower right corner 432 pages "Warhol, the self-promoting "king of Pop" who pictorially chronicled American society--its faces, products, and events--may be one of this century's least understood artists. Given the recent spate of Warhol reminiscences, this biography is a good value: Words and pictures clarify his life and career, and the coffee-table format, offering over 300 reproductions that include personal photos and art--is visually satisfying. The author is an art critic who was also a colleague and long-time Warhol chum. His perspective is comprehensive, informed, and blunt without being too gossipy or sensational. The text, based on first-hand knowledge of Warhol as well as extensive interviews with his family and friends, conveys Warhol's struggle.

Häftad, dek. omslag i färg med flikar. Förlagsnytt exemplar i perfekt skick. Stockholm, CKM förlag, 2011. Stor 8:o. 320 sid. Slösande rikt illustrerad i färg (den rikligast illustrerade monografin över Grünewald). Med utställningsregister, kronologisk verksförteckning, personregister och litteratur.

Orientalen är en kritisk granskning av hur den offentliga bilden av Grünewald och hans konst formades frĺn debuten och hur den har förts vidare fram till vĺr egen tid. Allt sedan början av 1910-talet framstod i svenska tidningar den dĺ drygt 20-ĺrige konstnären Isaac Grünewald (1889-1946) som det enskilt främsta hotet mot den 'nationella' konsten i Sverige. Grünewald var jude, en 'oriental', en 'österlänning', en 'främling' som inte hörde hemma i den svenska konsten, hette det. Han framställdes som en obetydlig mĺlare, men ett geni som 'reklammakare' att döma av den uppmärksamhet han alltid väckte med utställningar och insatser som opinionsbildare. Motviljan frĺn presskĺren vände först pĺ 1930-talet, men Isaac Grünewald tycktes gĺ stärkt ur strid efter strid. Först i efterhand började kritikerna erkänna honom som sin generations mest kände, mest framgĺngsrike, mest inflytelserike och rentav främste svenske konstnär - och inte bara som den mest stridbare och kontroversomsusade. Sonsonen Bernhard Grünewalds bok Orientalen dokumenterar utifrĺn tusentals bevarade pressklipp de nationalromantiska och antisemitiska klichéer som klistrades fast vid den offentliga bilden av Isaac Grünewald. Den är samtidigt den biografi som ger den hittills mest ingĺende skildringen av Isaac Grünewalds liv och gärning. Boken ger även en större presentation av Grünewalds konstnärskap, med ett urval av 223 verk.

Tryckta blĺ omslag, dedikation "Till Henrik, nestorn, med hälsning frĺn Bo G." Med Alf Henriksons exlibris. Kort reva nedtill längs främre omslagets falsveck, men i gott skick. Uppsala 1971. Diss. Stencilupplaga i A4-format. [1] + 229 blad. Licentiatavhandling, v.t. 1971 vid konstvetenskapliga institutionen, Uppsala universitet. Nĺgra ĺr senare utkom pĺ Nordiska museets förlag Grandiens bok "Drömmen om medeltiden. Carl Georg Brunius som byggmästare och idéförmedlare". - - - Carl Georg Brunius var klassisk filolog, arkitekt och konsthistoriker, student vid Lunds universitet 1803 och vid Uppsala universitet 1811, docent i grekiska 1815, adjunkt i detta ämne och i romersk vältalighet och poesi 1820 resp. 1821, och Esaias Tegnérs efterträdare som professor i grekiska 1824. Brunius framträdde tidigt som latinsk skald. Sin mesta tid ägnade han dock ĺt byggnadskonsten: 1833-1859 ledde han restaurationsarbetena pĺ Lunds domkyrka (och utförde den djärva höjningen av kryptan), dessutom verkställde han restaurationerna av Växjö domkyrka (1849-52) samt av flera stads- och landskyrkor i Skĺne, och uppgjorde ritningar till nya kyrkor och planerade om- och nybyggnader pĺ skĺnska herresäten (Jordberga slott, Sövdeborg, Trolleholm med flera). Brunius lät även uppföra en egen bostad vid Mĺrtenstorget i Lund ( Kiliansgatan 17) som ännu är bevarad. Brunius var även forskare i Sveriges äldre konsthistoria och utgav (tillsammans med Johan Gustaf Liljegren) Nordiska fornlemningar (med 100 planscher, 1823), Nordens äldsta metropolitankyrka (1836; omarbetad och tillökad upplaga 1854), Antiqvarisk och arkitektonisk resa genom Halland, Bohuslän, Dalsland, Vermland och Vestergötland ĺr 1838 (1839), Glimminge faste steenhus i Christianstads lehn i Skaane (1844), Historisk och arkitektonisk beskrifning öfver Helsingborgs Kärna (1845), Skĺnes konsthistoria för medeltiden (1850), Konstanteckningar under en resa ĺr 1849 (1851), Om renaissans- eller barockstilen i Skĺne (1856), Konstanteckningar under en resa till Bornholm ĺr 1857 (1860) samt Gotlands konsthistoria (I-III 1864-66).

Häftad i tryckta omslag, oskuren. Ryggen med prydlig lagning, främre omslaget med diskret namnteckning, bakre omslaget med litet nagg upptill. Spĺr av raderad dedikation (?) pĺ främre omslagets insida, tillskrift av författarens systerson pĺ förtitelsidan. Med prydliga handskrivna rättelser av Högberg pĺ s. 4, 7, 63 och 67 i detta exemplar, stora rättelselappar finns insatta pĺ s. 7 och 21, och bladet med s. 19/20 är en kancellans, därtill med ytterligare rättelser inskrivna pĺ s. 20. U.o., [tryckt i Paris pĺ eget förlag], 1930. 8:o. [iv] s. inkl. porträtt, första bladet tomt, + viii + 100 s. Förordet daterat "Finnkyrka, par Sundsvall (Sučde), 1er janvier 1930". Sällsynt. Olof Högberg (1855-1932), som gjorde sitt överraskande skönlitterära genombrott sent i livet 1906 med "Den stora vreden", hade under sina studieĺr i Uppsala förebĺdats en lysande bana som matematiker. Han fullbordade aldrig studierna men fortsatte hela livet arbetet pĺ föreliggande avhandling vid sidan av sitt skönlitterära författarskap. Han kunde dock inte väcka nĺgon entusiasm för avhandlingen bland svenska experter och lyckades inte heller erhĺlla tryckningsbidrag för den. 1930 lät han slutligen trycka boken pĺ egen bekostnad i Paris pĺ inrĺdan av en ung Sven Stolpe, som han lärt känna under sina vintervistelser pĺ Sigtunastiftelsen. Han hoppades pĺ internationella framgĺngar och hade själv översatt "pĺfundet", som han kallade boken, till franska. Den skickades till en del utländska universitet och tidningar och han berättar stolt i ett brev att han fĺtt rekvisitioner frĺn Frankrike. Men pĺ det hela taget uteblev den förväntade uppmärksamheten. Även Högbergs egen självkritik framgĺr tydligt av hans rättelser i flera exemplar av den färdigtryckta boken.

Technic: Copper print, colorit: original colored, condition: Left and right lower corners replaced, size (in cm): 33 x 39,5 cm; - Illustration of a Malaysian Pu-Wálli (Lat.) branch, with small flowers and fruits. From the work Hortus Indicus Malabaricus. A comprehensive printed work on South Asian botany for botanists of the early modern period. European scientists, including Carl Linnaeus, borrowed from the Hortus Malabaricus. Scholars and doctors in Malabar sketched and described the local flora. Their illustrations were then executed in copperplate engravings and accompanied by the plant names transcribed in Arabic script in Latin, Malayalam, Konkani and Malay. Published by Joannis van Someren.; History: Plant science, or botany, deals in detail with the diversity of the plant world and tries to bring it into a system. The plants are examined in terms of structure, growth, life cycle, reproduction, metabolism and chemical properties. Plant science is one of the oldest sciences: people have been studying the effects of certain plants since early on. What was of interest was whether these were edible or of a healing nature. Today, five sub-areas make up botany. Plant morphology studies plant structure and form. This includes the internal and external structure as well as the structure of the plant cell. Plant physiology examines functional processes such as metabolism. Plant systematics brings order to the plant world. It describes precisely the different types of plants. Geobotany deals with the location of the plants. This includes the interaction between the plant and its environment. Ecophysiology explores to what extent and why plants have adapted to their environment in the past. This is particularly interesting because this also happens in environments with hostile conditions.

Ecophysiology explores to what extent and why plants have adapted to their environment in the past. This is particularly interesting because this also happens in environments with hostile conditions.

Technic: Copper print, colorit: original colored, condition: Lower left and right corner perfectly replaced, size (in cm): 33 x 41 cm; - Illustration of a Malaysian kareta tsjori-válli branch, a climbing plant with trifoliate leaves, panicle flowers, fruits and seeds (similar to the five-leaved vine). From the work Hortus Indicus Malabaricus. A comprehensive printed work on South Asian botany for botanists of the early modern period. European scientists, including Carl Linnaeus, borrowed from the Hortus Malabaricus. Scholars and doctors in Malabar sketched and described the local flora. Their illustrations were then executed in copperplate engravings and accompanied by the plant names transcribed in Arabic script in Latin, Malayalam, Konkani and Malay. Published by Joannis van Someren.; History: Plant science, or botany, deals in detail with the diversity of the plant world and tries to bring it into a system. The plants are examined in terms of structure, growth, life cycle, reproduction, metabolism and chemical properties. Plant science is one of the oldest sciences: people have been studying the effects of certain plants since early on. What was of interest was whether these were edible or of a healing nature. Today, five sub-areas make up botany. Plant morphology studies plant structure and form. This includes the internal and external structure as well as the structure of the plant cell.
