He served as the Commissioner for the Bureau of Indian Affairs during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration from 1933 to 1945. Collier worked tirelessly to promote policies that respected Native American cultures, traditions, and sovereignty. His efforts aimed to improve living conditions, education, and land rights for indigenous communities. His tenure as Commissioner left a lasting impact on Native American policy and administration. His commitment to understanding and respecting tribal customs influenced his work on cultural preservation and documentation. --- Ira Moskowitz (1912 2001) was a Polish-born artist who dedicated much of his life to creating Judaic art. His work reflects themes related to Jewish culture, religion, and history. --- Moskowitz s art resonates with the spiritual and cultural aspects of Judaism. His pieces often feature symbolic motifs, biblical narratives, and scenes from Jewish life. He contributed drawings, lithographs, and etchings to the book. His visual representations enhance the reader s understanding of the intricate dance forms. His artistic legacy includes a wide range of works on paper, prints, and paintings. His dedication to Judaic themes has left a lasting impact on the art world, and his pieces continue to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts.…

    Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Item Description Rembrandt The Master & His Workshop: Volume One Paintings Christopher Brown, Jan Kelch, Pieter van Thiel; Volume Two Drawings & Etchings Holm Bevers, Peter Schatborn, Barbara Welzel; Yale University Press, New Haven and London in association with National Gallery Publications, London, 1991. The Rembrandt Research Project, comprising the foremost Rembrandt scholars, based in Amsterdam, has undertaken the formidable task of establishing a body of works which can be securely attributed to Rembrandt. This has resulted in the deattribution of many works, once unquestionably accepted as Rembrandts. New research on artists known to have studied in Rembrandt s Workshop and the attribution of paintings and drawings to these students has provided more information. These books also serve as catalogues of the exhibition organized by curators from Berlin, Amsterdam and London galleries which have three of the finest collections of Rembrandt. In addition, works were lent to the exhibition from owners all around the globe, and they are listed in the books. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 - 1669), usually simply known as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker and draughtsman. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age, when Dutch art (especially Dutch painting), although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative and gave rise to important new genres. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such as Jan Vermeer of Delft, Rembrandt was also an avid art collector and dealer. These two books, 396 and 288 pages measuring 289 X 245mm, are in fine condition as are the dust jackets that are now in protective, mylar wraps. A beautiful set of books. The two large books are very heavy and additional postage will be required. …

    Hard Cover. Condición: Fine. Hard Cover, large 8vo., (measuring 6 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches) an odd volume ( no. 50) from the "Complete Works," being complete as two volumes in one, large paper, limited edition of 2062 copies (2000 for England and America) bearing the date 1879 on the title page, but also "II/ PROSERPINA/ (1875-1886) on half title, suggesting per the Bibliographical Note, p.193, this being the Third collected edition of 1886, (also mentioned in Watson.)*Finely bound in an unsigned three-quarter crushed green morocco over marble paper covered boards, ruled with single gilt line, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed, with marbled end papers, armorial engraved bookplate, fly leaves of laid paper, text printed on watermarked heavy wove paper at the Ballantyne Press, Edinburgh, with the Ruskin House colophon at the rear.**CONDITION: Fine. All plates are very clean, bright and unmarked. **"Bibliographical Note" denotes the work as originally released in 6 separate parts with the first "Collected" edition being in 1879. The 15 full page black and white engravings and soft ground etchings are variously numbered from IX to XXXI, bound in; these prints were originally sold separately for six pence apiece. (see p. 193). Additionally, numerous in-text line illustrations were drawn by Ruskin and later made into woodcut engravings by Arthur Burgess; Ruskin suggests his readers use the illustrations for their own art exercises. COLLATION: [4] blank, [3], frontispiece, [2], 191-569 pp., including indexes, Notes, [1], publisher's colophon. **Continuing on, perhaps, in the vein of the Enlightenment's Erasmus Darwin, this work by the hugely influential Victorian artist, art critic, teacher, and social critic John Ruskin (1819-1900) imbues personal observations of the natural world with robust philosophical, artistic and moral purpose. "Proserpina" was first published in 1875, based on notebook drawings he begun on various travels with his family from the 1840's. Botany for artists and humanities students might best describe his approach. In the discussion of "Mosses," for instance, he quotes classical and later literary and historical allusions, as well as detailing the taxonomy, physical characteristics and historical importance of the plant in Scottish military history. Additionally, the botanic growth and decay pattern is analyzed for it's contribution to soil building, thus adding even ecological and spiritual spins to his topic. Suitably titled, then, after the Greek myth of Proserpina, harbinger of Spring and flowers; (Proserpina emerges annually from the confines of Hades where she has been kidnapped by the amorous Pluto, King of the Underworld, her yearly ascension marked by the flowering plants where she reappears.) Ruskin argues for his own style of botanical nomenclature, primarily with English names, as opposed to the conflicting, overly latinized, work of contemporary and historical taxonomists: Miller, Haller, Linnaeus, citing his credentials as the founder of The Ruskin School of Art in the University of Oxford. The sections in Vol. II on "The Caprice of Flowers" and "The Wildness of Flowers" mention his inamorata Rose LaTouche, giving those chapters an uncharacteristically lusty ring. Publisher George Allen (1832-1907) the Ruskin-mentored (and Rossetti trained) printer and printmaker responsible for the Author's self-published empire of art-related titles, took over broad responsibilities with the business in Ruskin's later years. A wonderful volume with inspiration for the artist or architecture student seeking design inspiration from the natural world, or those who just enjoy fine herbarium art. REFS: Watson 1349. T.J. Wise and J.P. Smart, A Complete Bibliography. of John Ruskin, (London: R. Clay & Sons, Printers, 1891-93,) Vol. I, No. 208, (p. 230) lists the newest 1886 addition of the Part X ( "The Caprice of Flowers"). PROVENANCE: Charles Waterman Armour, with his bookplate.
