Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 157 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 32 cm ISBN 9780847818112, 084781811X OCLC 30109492 LCCN 94014245 LC NA7615.B54 B79 1994 Dewey 728.8/09756/88 ; grey cloth in color photographic dust jacket ; "The Octagon, the museum of the American Architectural Foundatio…n." ; Produced in conjunction with a traveling exhibition organized by the Octagon, the museum of the American Architectural Foundation. ; In the late 1880s, two supreme talentsarchitect Richard Morris Hunt and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstedwere brought together by the Vanderbilt fortune. The result was the magnificent Biltmore Estate, explored here in archival and new color photography, sketches, and construction photos that document the entire design, development, and construction. ; "The most distinguished private place" - that is how, in 1893, the great landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted described Biltmore Estate, perhaps the most ambitious private building project of America's Gilded Age. It was only five years earlier that George Washington Vanderbilt purchased the first parcel of what would become his 125,000-acre estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Along with Olmsted, he commissioned the preeminent architect of the day, Richard Morris Hunt, to design the estate. The house, modeled in part on the chateaux of the Loire Valley, has become one of the greatest and most important in American architectural history. Its 255 rooms, with spectacular and finely crafted interiors, opulent furnishings (some designed by Hunt), and furniture and decorative arts objects collected by Vanderbilt from all corners of the world, have made it a rich national treasure. The estate served as the cradle of the profession of forestry in America. With Olmsted's advice and expertise, it became the first working model of a scientifically managed forest and played a critical role in the creation of our national parks. This meticulously researched book accompanies an exhibition organized by The Octagon, the Museum of the American Architectural Foundation; it chronicles Biltmore from inception, development, and construction through its Christmas 1895 opening celebrations, and into the present. Original architectural drawings, sketches, plans, presentation drawings, nineteenth-century photographs, and vibrant new color photography complete this portrait of a great landmark. Today Biltmore Estate belongs to George Washington Vanderbilt's descendants, who have opened the house to the public and have made it one of the most visited in America. ; a few nicks on dustjacket ; FINE/VG.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 340 pages. Published in 2007. Book-length account on subject. One of the most valuable books on American music and culture ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subs…equent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by Random House as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Wilfrid Sheed's "The House That George Built: With A Little Help From Irving, Cole, And A Crew of About Fifty". The Golden Age of American music, not just American Song. Preceded only by Irving Berlin, George more or less created and solidified the House, along with an astonishing gathering of musical genuises, a "high-point" feat never to be repeated in American history. Which "embodied all that was cool, sexy, and sophisticated in popular culture. For four glittering decades, geniuses like Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Harold Arlen ran their fingers over piano keys, enticing unforgettable melodies out of thin air. A dazzling, authoritative history of the era that tripled the world's total supply of singable tunes. It all began when immigrants in New York's Lower East Side heard Black jazz and blues, and it surged into an artistic torrent nothing short of miraculous. George Gershwin, in his brief but incandescent career, straddled Tin Pan Alley and Carnegie Hall, charming everyone in his orbit. Half a century later, Gershwin love songs like 'Someone To Watch Over Me', 'The Man I Love', and 'Our Love Is Here To Stay' are as tender and moving as ever. Sheed also illuminates the unique gifts of the great jazz songsters Hoagy Carmichael and Duke Ellington, conjuring up the circumstances of their creativity and bringing back the thrill of what it was like to hear 'Georgia On My Mind or 'Mood Indigo' for the first time" (Publisher's blurb). "Far and away, our greatest contribution to the world's art supply during the so-called American Century" (Wilfrid Sheed). An absolute "must-have" title for Wilfrid Sheed and George Gershwin collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in red ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the author: "For Gale - Cheers, Wilfrid Sheed". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Wilfrid Sheed's shaky-looking handwriting has always been like that, idiosyncratic in its own way, and NOT a sign of old age or arthritis. The recipient, who is named, was personally known to the British-born, American immigrant-author. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (slight crimping on the bottom hard board corner, but it's there) is still in especially fine condition: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant critics of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO MICHAEL FEINSTEIN "THE GERSHWINS AND ME" TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1400061059. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 180 pages. Published in 2017. Retrospective Monograph, presented as a primer. One of the single best books on the transgressive art of Gilbert & George. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused wi…th all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as hardcover original only. There is NO American Edition. A brilliant production by Gilbert & George: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy pictorial hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Art by Gilbert & George. Text by Michael Bracewell. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "What Is Gilbert & George?". The short answer: Resonant layers of meaning engendered by the artists' juxtaposition of traditional British attitudes with iconography drawn from the social and sexual margins. Performance artists who also use the traditional genres and photography, Gilbert & George are transgressive in that they re-value (rather than de-value) their central British-ness and self-imposed marginal status at the same time. "Over the course of 37 short chapters, Bracewell has created an accessible handbook to their work. Provides candid insights into their working practice, East London, sex, Victorian art, nationalism, and male-ness, among many other subjects" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Gilbert & George collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker on the front free endpaper by the artists: "With love from Gilbert & George". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. There is no recipient named. This title is a contemporary art classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: There is NO American Edition. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. Two of the most important and influential artists of our time. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 645 pages. Published in 2010. Book-length account on subject. One of the best books on ballet ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a s…mall and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Jennifer Homans' "Apollo's Angels: A History of Ballet". Her deeply moving history of ballet. For Homans, ballet is a metaphor for art itself. Ballet is not dance. Anyone can dance, which is about life's vitality. Ballet demands the exact, mediated opposite: Precision, rigor, purity. In a word, art. Ballet - art - is about transcendence: The high leap we identify with ballet is transcendence itself, about a higher and exalted state of being that we often call grace. "Grace" is now undervalued and rarely invoked in both demotic and hieratic discourse. There is no grace, and a lot of vulgarity, for example, in contemporary culture as well as Ivory Tower academe. Like all great histories, "Apollo's Angels" makes a larger point: A culture that does not have a notion of transcendence is an inferior one, and will not have an enduring legacy. Often described as "Dionysian", "Le Sacre du Printemps" ("The Rite of Spring"), the sublime Nijinsky/Stravinsky collaboration that radically changed the course of ballet, is instead "Apollonian", the re-presentation of primitive trance-ritual through ballet's highly formalized movements, steps, and gestures. The virgin sacrifice in "Le Sacre du Printemps" is the primal version of the sacrifice in "Swan Lake" (and countless other ballets) that the prima ballerina-heroine makes. An absolute "must-have" title for Jennifer Homans and ballet aficionado/collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Selected as one of the Ten Best Books of 2010 by The New York Times. One of the most brilliant critic/writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1400060605. no.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 250 pages. Published in 2019. Book-length account on subject. One of Adam Gopnik's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are sever…al. Published in a small and limited first print run by Basic Books as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Adam Gopnik's "A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism". The best short book on its subject ever written in our time. In three succinct, eloquent essays, here is the distillation of Adam Gopnik's ongoing reflections on liberalism that the liberal pantheon, from John Stuart Mill to Lionel Trilling, would have admired: "What Is Liberalism"; "Why The Right Hates Liberalism"; and "Why The Left Hates Liberalism". We live in a wretched and hapless time because we are caught between two extreme - and truly evil - ideologies: Right-wing fundamentalism and left-wing radicalism, which are, in the end, two sides of the same coin. Whereas liberalism is not "a political theory applied to life but life applied to political theory". Liberalism, in sum, is pragmatic and grounded in reality yet daring and humane. "Taking us from Montaigne to Mill, from 'Middlemarch' to the Civil Rights Movement, Adam Gopnik argues that liberalism is not a form of centrism, nor simply another word for free markets, nor merely a term denoting a set of rights. It is something far more ambitious: The search for radical change by humane measures. In an age of autocracy, our lives may depend on its continuation" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Adam Gopnik collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and dated (in the year of publication) in black pen-marker on the title page by the author: "Adam Gopnik 2019". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-year dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus.

Añadir al carritoThree vintage gatherings of the periodical "Film Music Notes" (FMN), comprising all 26 issues published in 1942 through 1944, bound in three volumes, each with titled wrappers, "Film Music Notes / 1942," "Film Music Notes / 1943," and "Film Music Notes / 1944," with manuscript graphite, red, and blue pencil annotations on 39 pag…es of fourteen issues. The three gatherings found here comprise the first full three years of the periodical's publication, beginning with "Volume I / January, 1942 / Number IV" and ending with "Volume IV / December, 1944 / Number III." Detailed inventory available upon request. The three bound gatherings are: "Film Music Notes / 1942," comprised of all eight issues published in 1942, from Vol. 1 No. IV through Vol. II No. III, with each issue ranging from seven to nine pages. (In 1942 FMN published only eight issues, rather than the nine found in 1943 and 1944, combining the May and June issues into one "May-June 1942" issue, Vol. II No. III.) "Film Music Notes / 1943," comprised of all nine issues published in 1943, from Vol. II No. IV through Vol. III No. III, with each issue ranging from eight to twelve pages. "Film Music Notes / 1944," comprised of all nine issues published in 1944, from Vol. III No. IV through Vol. IV No. III, with each issue ranging from eleven to twenty three pages. The first issue of FMN, Vol. 1, No. 1 (not included in the bound volumes here), was published in October 1941, and was spearheaded largely by the efforts of a group of Hollywood women on behalf of the National Federation of Music Clubs (the Federation). On June 1, 1941, as part of the "Festival of Motion Pictures" at the Federation's biennial American Music Festival, the Federation, feeling the Academy Awards were not adequately recognizing musicians and composers, held their first film music awards night. The overwhelming success of the awards night, as well as growing requests from music educators for resources and advise on how to teach about film music, lead Federation members, headed by chairperson Grace Widney Mabee, to begin the publication of the groundbreaking periodical four months later, which, during its inception, was largely built upon the Federation's existing structures and resources. In 1943, FMN was integral to the formation of the National Film Music Council (NFMC), created largely by Federation members and FMN contributors and editors, Mabee, Sigmund Spaeth (FMN Advisory Chairman), Constance Purdy (FMN editor), and others, and was announced in the "Foreword" of FMN, Vol. 2, No.1, October, 1943, found in the volumes offered here. FMN continued publication for seventeen years, ending in 1958. Issues of FMN are generally comprised of a "Foreword," followed by "Comments and Open Forum" (which by the November 1942 issue, Vol. II, No. II, had transitioned to "News Items"), film reviews (which focus on the use of music in film, and range from five to 28 reviews per issue), as well as various articles, essays, and biographies. Regular contributing authors found in the three bound volumes here include: Gail Kubik (composer), Margery Morrison (FMN Associate Editor), Purdy (actress, musician, and FMN Editor), Naomi Reynolds (of The Musician's Congress), and Spaeth (musicologist, author, and FMN Advisory Chairman). Contributing authors found in the volumes on offer here, include: Composers: Scott Bradley, Rudy De Saxe, Adolph Deutsch, Nat W. Finston, Arthur Kleiner, William Lava, Vernon Leftwich, Alfred Newman, Miklós Rózsa, David Rudhyar, Jack Schaindlin, Max Steiner, Herbert Stothart, Franz Waxman, Roy Webb, and Charles Wolcott. As well as: Alice Evans Field (MPPDA studio liason), Chauncey Haines, Jr. (musician), Hal Hall ("The American Cinematographer" editor), John Huntley (British film historian), Isabel Morse Jones (LA Times critic and musician), Jay Leyda (experimental filmmaker), Louis Lipstone (head of Paramount Pictures music department), Harry Mines (LA Daily News critic), Ivan Narodny (Russian revolutionary and émigré), Mildred Norton (LA Daily News critic), Cecil Stokes (creator of the Auroratone), and Dr. Bruno David Ussher (musicologist and LA music critic). Articles found in the volumes on offer here, include: "Cartoon Music of the Future," "[George Pal's] Puppetoons," "The Auroratone," "Scoring the Jungle Book," "Russian Music," "The Importance of Motion Picture Music," "Music in Government Films," a "Special Article" on Constantin Bakaleinikoff (composer and Director of Music Department of RKO-Radio), "Music of the Americas," "Screen Music Assumes New Stature," "Procedure of Preparing a Musical Score for a Picture," "José Iturbi Comes to the Screen," "[Dmitri] Shostakovich - Film Composer," "A Visit to the Music Recording Stage at Warner Bros.," "What Music Arranging Does for the Pictures," "An Afternoon in the Home of Erich Wolfgang Korngold," "New Russian Music Born of War," "The Sixth Sense in Film Mechanics," "Notes on the Life and Works of Aaron Copland," "Rhapsody in Blue: A Day on the Gershwin Set," "British Film Music," "Mexican Films in Hollywood," and "An Institute of Music in Contemporary Life," among many others.
