With three original full-colour woodcuts especially executed by Miró for this edition printed Joan Barbarà’s Atelier in Barcelona and with 290 photogravure reproductions of Miró’s works printed by Jean-Paul Vibert and with several other black and white illustrations from photographs. Folio, publisher’s original blue cloth lettered in white on the upper cover and spine and in the original dust-jacket printed by Joan Barbarà and cut from wood by Joan Miró. 184, [6] pp. A fine copy, the book essentially as new and pristine, the jacket in excellent, as pristine condition. BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED Catalogue Raisonné OF THE EARLY WORKS OF THE GREAT SPANISH SURREALIST, JOAN MIRó. WITH THREE ORIGINAL full-colour WOODBLOCK PRINTS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR THIS EDITION. Earning international acclaim, Miró’s work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting. This catalogue features works from 1928 to 1960.

DANTZIG, George Bernard.
        Linear Programming: Invited paper presented before the Symposium on Numerical Methods July, 1948, Los Angeles, California.[National Bureau of Standards], 1948. First edition, pre-print.
      Extremely rare mimeographed typescript of the paper (published three years later) in which Dantzig gave the first general description of linear programming and his famous 'simplex' method - declared as one of the most important algorithms of the 20th century.<br/><br/> Harvard economist Robert Dorfman, in his paper 'The Discovery of Linear Programming' (Annals of the History of Computing, vol. 6, pp. 283-295, 1984), clearly refers to this 1948 paper by Dantzig as the first in which he discovered the "basic strategy of the simplex method and all its variants, ... Thus Dantzig described the basic step in climbing the beanpole in the summer of 1948", citing the published version of this paper. The contents of this mimeographed typescript is identical to the 1951 publication [also offered her] and is with all probability the version handed out to the attendees of the symposium (National Bureau of Standards) in July 1948 - the first and last page are marked with the rubberstamp of statistician, and specialist in numerical methods, Dr. Clifford J. Maloney (who worked for different governmental institutions) and who would have been a very likely participant at this symposium. <br/><br/> Included is, furthermore, one mimeographed typed sheet being an abstract of (a seemingly unpublished) paper by Dantzig, 'Application of the SEAC to Linear Programming', given before the Association for Computing Machinery, Sept. 7-9, 1950. In 1950 the first solution of the 'transport problem' on a computer was realized by coding the simplex algorithm for the National Bureau of Standards' SEAC digital computer under the auspice of the USAF's Project SCOOP. (See Gass & Assad: Timeline of Operations Research, p.72). The abstract ends with "In addition, the Bereau of Standards has agreed to develop an electronic computer capable of solving large-scale systems of linear inequalities more rapidly than computers currently under construction". This forthcoming computer, which Dantzig mentions, was the UNIVAC I that was installed at the Pentagon in the summer 1952. "The total influence of the Air Force's Project SCOOP is truly amazing. ... George Dantzig and Project SCOOP and the Air Force did not just contribute the linear programming model and the simplex method - what evolved from the Air Force's Project SCOOP changed the way business, industry, government and, especially, the military forces, plan, analyze and carry out their activities". (Peter Horner, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences). <br/><br/> Dantzig was the recipient of the first Von Neumann Theory Prize "for his work on linear programming". When it was announced that the 1975 Nobel Prize in Economics would be awarded jointly to Kantorovich and Koopmans "for their contributions to the theory of optimum allocation of resources", the later wrote the first that he would deny the prize, as a protest towards the exclusion of Dantzig.<br/><br/> WorldCat lists no copies of the separate 1948 paper.. Mimeographed typescript: 267 x 204 mm. 14 mimeographed, typed and stapled sheets, as issued, with the rubber stamps of 'Clifford J. Maloney'; lower left corder of the first shit bent, otherwise fine. Published version of the paper: Pp. 18-21 in 'Problems for the Numerical Analysis of the Future', issued by the National Bereau of Standards, June 1951. 4to: 260 x 200 mm, original printed wrappers; fine.

        Homage
      N.p.: N.P., (1984). Quarto. (12)ff. One of 350 copies.

These include: Lao-Tsu, Erasmus, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Goya, Daumier, Beethoven, Lincoln, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Dorothy Day. Eichenberg&#39;s portraits are unconventional and imaginative: the Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu is depicted as being one with the mountain peaks, with clouds swirling around him, and Abraham Lincoln looks on with compassion as a family of escaped slaves is pursued by men with dogs. Each print is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist, and housed within a bifolium sheet printed with the title. On the inside of the first bifolium sheet, which bears the title and contents, Eichenberg&#39;s wife has signed her name and indicated that she designed the book. Antonie was Fritz&#39;s wife. Fine in a sage-green linen portfolio with a printed red paper label to the front cover.
