Springbrunnen. Öltempera auf Leinwand. 1992 1992 - 100 x 50 cm, Tadellos Signiert und datiert. Valentin Lustig (*1955 ) aus Klausenburg in Siebenbürgen (Rumänien) stammender Künstler. Seit 1983 lebt Lustig in der Schweiz. Seine Kunst reicht von naiv bis surrealistisch-phantastisch, und enthält zahlreiche Anspielungen auf mythische und biblische Themen. Als Kind von Holocaustüberlebenden thematisiert Lustig auch das Schicksal des jüdischen Volkes. Doch dies kommt nicht explizit zum Ausdruck, da er sich einer individuellen und symbolischen bis ins Groteske reichenden Bildersprache bedient, die verschiedene Deutungen zulässt.

Faksimile - Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame du Duc de Berry. Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, Nouv.acq.lat. 3093. (2 Bde.). Luzern, Faksimile-Vlg., 1992 - 4° (28 x 20 cm), 252 S., mit Pinsel- und Blattgold versehene Miniaturen; Kommentarbd.: 254 S., Rotes OLdr. goldgeprägt ( Kommentarbd. HLdr.) in Acrylglasschuber, Rücken minimal beschienen, sonst tadellos. Nr. 708 von 980 Exemplaren. Glanzvolle Bilderhandschrift des Herzogs von Berry . Eines der prachtvollsten Stundenbücher Die Bilderhandschrift "Très Belles Heures" markiert einen Höhepunkt mittelalterlicher Buchmalerei, geschaffen zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts von den begnadetsten Künstlern jener Zeit. Auf 25 Miniaturseiten entfaltet sich die ganze Pracht der Buchmalerei, für die diese Handschrift berühmt ist. Nicht umsonst ist sie im Inventar des Herzogs von Berry als "sehr schönes Stundenbuch Unserer Lieben Frau in kunstvollen Lettern" beschrieben.Sowohl Text als auch Bild werden mit demselben erstaunlichen Aufwand ausgeschmückt. Verschwenderisches Gold und Farben von unerhörter Leuchtkraft werden für Szenen verwendet, die in kräftigen Bildern vom spätmittelalterlichen religiösen, aber auch profanen Leben erzählen.Jede der Miniaturseiten besteht aus drei Elementen. Einmal ist da die große, tafelbildartige Miniatur, dann eine prachtvolle Initiale und schließlich eine figürliche Szene am unteren Blattrand. Insgesamt entstand so ein geschlossener Eindruck von höchster gestalterischer Qualität.Monumentalwerk mit abenteuerlicher Geschichte Die Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame bildeten in ihrer ursprünglichen Gestalt eine der monumentalsten Handschriftenkonzeptionen der Kunstgeschichte. Aufgrund ihrer Schönheit und luxuriösen, aufwendigen Ausstattung war das Werk schon im Mittelalter als Kunst- und Sammelobjekt geschätzt. Im Verlauf ihrer wechselvollen Geschichte wurde die Handschrift nämlich in drei Teile aufgeteilt.1412 schenkte der Herzog von Berry die gewaltige Bilderhandschrift seinem Schatzmeister Robinet d'Estampes. Dieser behielt das eigentliche Stundenbuch für sich. Die beiden anderen Teile des Werkes spezielle Gebete an einzelne Heilige und ein Meßbuch gingen an das Haus von Bayern-Holland.Später gelangte das Meßbuch nach Mailand, die Gebete kamen nach Turin. Die Turiner Gebete sind heute leider verloren: Sie fielen dem Brand der Bibliothek von 1904 zum Opfer, mit Ausnahme von vier Blättern, die sich heute im Musée du Louvre in Paris befinden (siehe Eintrag "Die Blätter im Louvre").Das eigentliche Stundenbuch, das Robinet behalten hatte, blieb bis ins 18. Jahrhundert in Familienbesitz. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde es von Baron Alphonse de Rothschild erworben, dessen Nachkommen die Handschrift 1956 der Bibliothèque nationale in Paris überließen.Einzigartige Stellung in der Kunstgeschichte Nach langwierigen wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen durch den Verfasser des Kommentarbandes konnte eine bisher unbekannte, erstaunliche Tatsache festgestellt werden: Offensichtlich waren alle an der Handschrift beteiligten Maler eigentlich Tafelmaler.Jede einzelne Miniatur ist ein Kunstwerk für sich, eine Facette der reichhaltigen Fülle der Buchmalerei, die sich nicht auf die Traditionen der Metropole Paris beschränkte, sondern auch Maler aus Flandern miteinbezog.Diese Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Meister macht die Handschrift besonders reizvoll. Beteiligt waren der Meister des Paraments mit seiner monumentalen Kunst, der "Heilig-Geist"-Meister mit seinen heftig bewegten Bildern und schließlich der Meister Johannes des Täufers mit seinen weichen Farbtönen. Dazu kommt noch die herausragende Kunst der Brüder Limburg, denen zwei Miniaturseiten zugeschrieben werden. Die Künstler waren frei von vorgegebenen Gestaltungsprinzipien mittelalterlicher Buchmalerwerkstätten und verfuhren weitgehend nach eigenen Vorstellungen. Aber dieses außerordentliche Werk der Pariser Buchmalerei um 1400 ist noch mehr: Es erwies sich als das wichtigste Zeugnis der weitgehend verlorengegangenen französischen Tafelmalerei dieser Epoche.Die einzigartige Gestaltung von Rahmung und Architektur wurde von den Malern dieses kunstgeschichtlich so wichtigen Werkes vermutlich [Attributes: Soft Cover] [Bookseller: antiquariat peter petrej]

The International Contest between Heenan & Sayers Victor Dubreuil, New York - VICTOR DUBREUIL'S TROMPE L'OEIL PAINTING OF A LITHOGRAPH Oil on canvas Canvas size: 31 1/2" x 41 1/2" Frame size: Frame size: 36 1/8" x 46 3/8" Signed l.r.: V. Dubreuil Provenance: Private collection Exhibitions: The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio, The Artist at Ringside, 1992, exh. cat. p.72 (illus. in color on cover); The National Art Museum of Sport, Indianapolis, Indiana, June 1-August 2, 1992; Spanierman Gallery, LLC, New York, Tranquil America: A Century of Painting, 1840-1940, November 4, 2000-February 28, 2001 Literature: The Artist at Ringside exh. cat. (The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio, 1992), p.72 (illus. in color on cover); Tranquil America: A Century of Painting, 1840-1940 (Spanierman Gallery, LLC, New York, 2000), pl.9, color illus. Victor Dubreuil's painting of The International Contest between Heenan & Sayers cleverly recreates the 1860 lithograph by the same name. It is a remarkable trompe l'oeil or "trick of the eye" and an exact replica of the print on canvas. The artist's intentions behind creating such an image are not readily apparent. The painting may be a reference to the class struggles prevalent during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Boxers were mainly from working class backgrounds and in America pugilism became a popular avenue for African-Americans eager to escape slavery. In contrast, the spectators were from the wealthier classes and it is known that among the crowd watching the Heenan and Sayers fight were Charles Dickens and William Thackeray. The painting may also be a comment upon Anglo-American relations during the second half of the nineteenth century, as the global power of imperial Britain was threatened by its colonial dominion. The heavyweight title fight between the English boxer Tom Sayers and his American counterpart John .C. Heenan was fought in 1860. It took place at Farnborough, England because pugilism was still officially outlawed in the United States. However, it was the first title fight to draw attention form both sides of the Atlantic. Heenan outweighed Sayers by 46 pounds and towered six inches above him. Up to this time America had not been regarded as a serious contender for the world title, but the discrepancy in the weights was expected to give Heenan a real chance. The fight was bloody from the beginning, in the sixth round, Sayers broke his right arm blocking a punch and in the eighth, Heenan broke his left hand. In the 37th round someone cut the ropes and the referee deserted. The fight continued for five more rounds until it ended in a draw. Among the most enigmatic of the American trompe l'oeil still-life painters of the late nineteenth century was Victor Dubreuil, born in New York City to French émigré parents. While Dubreuil's training is unknown, his name appears in Manhattan directories in 1886. Dubreuil had a satirical streak, frequently painting dollar bills to underscore America's preoccupation with wealth in the age of the robber barons. His works show a preoccupation with the plight of the working man through the policies of government. [Bookseller: Arader Galleries of Philadelphia, PA]

Bookbinding by Linda Sandlin with her miniature binder’s label on the inner back cover, reading: Sandlin’s Books & Bindery Valparaiso IN[diana]. Ca. 1992. - Size of binding: 7 1/8” x 10 1/4”, 221pp., illustrated with full page color illustrations & black & white drawings by Clarke Hutton. A copy of the Heritage Press edition of "The Prince and the Pauper", in a handcrafted design binding by Linda Sandlin. Bound in full gray (goatskin) leather with onlays of various color leathers; the spine features a blue leather title label with silver-stamped title & red leather “stitching” around the label. Front cover features the Prince’s crown in onlays of red & black & blue & tan leathers with metallic-surfaced leather details in gold & silver; Pauper’s coat in brown & blue leather outline, with special “patches” on coat & stick in brown leathers. The back cover (shown in the scan along with the spine) features the Prince's robe in dark purple & tan leathers with details or highlights in blue, red, & (feathered) black & silver & gold metallic-surfaced leathers; with gold-surfaced sword & Pauper's hat in dark blue with details in green, tan, brown & specially produced "stitched patch" on hat. Gray leather turn-ins & inner hinges with cream-colored endpapers. Applied, multi-colored headbands & multi-colored, sprinkled top edge. White, watered-surface cloth wraparound chemise. Chemise shows crease along spine area, a few dust spots. Bookbinding in fine condition. Artist’s descriptive statement: “It was one of those things where I had an idea in my head and had to get it on a copy of that book before it drove me crazy. Unfortunately, the best copy I came across was this Heritage press volume. The headbands are onlayed, and the the patches on the coat and hat are reverse side leather. All the ‘stitching’ on the patches and title slip are of red Nigerian goat strips which are tucked top and bottom to better simulate sewn threads, and to prevent peeling. The top edge is spattered to match the headbands. If you are familiar with the story you will remember that the two little boys (one a prince & one a pauper) trade places thus, the princely robe with the pauper hat, and the pauper coat with the prince’s crown.” (1993). This is one of Linda Sandlin's larger size handcrafted design bindings made around 1992. [Attributes: Hard Cover] [Bookseller: Peter Keisogloff Rare Books, Inc.]

Il Codice Squarcialupi è la più ampia e raffinata tra le antologie manoscritte di musica italiana copiate a Firenze nei primi vent’anni del Quattrocento. Autori degli oltre 300 brani che vi sono raccolti – di cui quasi la metà è testimoniata in quest’unica fonte – sono quasi tutti i compositori più noti del Trecento, dalla prima generazione di metà secolo, fino a quelli ancora attivi nei primi decenni del Quattrocento. Il codice è miniato con dovizia d’oro e di colori preziosi che lo rendono fra i documenti più splendidi della storia della miniatura italiana. Il codice fu un tempo in possesso del celebre organista fiorentino Antonio Squarcialupi (1417-1480). In seguito appartenne a Giuliano de’ Medici passando quindi alla Biblioteca Palatina; alla fine del XVIII secolo fu trasferito insieme ad altri volumi alla Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana ove oggi è conservato. Nell’edizione qui presentata il codice è accompagnato da un volume di studi di vari autori a cura di Franco A. Gallo. The Squarcialupi Codex Facsimile edition printed in 998 hand-numbered copies for the whole world. A box (size 320 x 460 mm)with leather-covered spine with gold tooling, contains the codex and a text volume of 290 pages printed on handmade paper and bound in Fabriano paper. The Squarcialupi Codex is the vastest and most refined of all manuscript anthologies of the Italian music copied in Florence during the first twenty years of the fifteenth century. The over 300 pieces it contains – to almost half of which only this source bears witness – are the work of nearly all the most renowned composers of the fourteenth century. In this edition the codex is accompanied by a volume with studies (translated into English) edited by Franco A. Gallo. ' [Bookseller: La Tosca Srl]

VISIONAIRE NO. 7: BLACK (FALL 1992) Visionaire Publishing, New York 1992 - Individual illustrated sheets laid into a silkscreened, die cut portfolio, profusely illustrated in monochrome. Designed by Mats Gustafson and Stephen Gan. Published in an edition of one thousand, five hundred copies, this is the seventh installment of everyone's favorite long-running luxe fashion quarterly, Visionaire. "With "Black", Visionaire doubled in size-and also in price. The issue was inspired by the season's all-black Comme des Garcons collection, Edward Gorey's macabre cartoons, and by artist Antoni Tapies. It was about darkness, the night, shadows, and what you may or may not see when you squint your eyes. A traditional artist's portfolio case tied with three black ribbons, provided the concept for the packaging. The die-cut letters were based on tears Stephen had made with scrap paper that enabled, once again, different first pages to peek through the cover". The contributors to this noir-ish issue are editor Stephen Gan, Edward Gorey, Ruben Toledo, Bill Cunningham, Elaine Gan, Juan Botas, Bruce Weber, Mats Gustafson, Mario Testino, Francois Berthoud, Karen Park, Gregory Foley, Bernard Figueroa, David McDonough, Mika Mizutani, Max Vadukl, Satoshi Sakusa, Peter Lindbergh, Ross Bleckner, Michel Haddi, Enrique Badulescu, Andrew Brucker, Philippe Salomon, Noelle Hoeppe, James Dignan, Michael Capotosto, Michael Stratton, and John Callahan; with a unique hand-assembled photo collage by Kristina Colovic. A most handsome individually numbered example (336/1500) of this uncommon issue showing a few light scuffs to the surface of the rear cover. It has been priced accordingly.

DHARMA LION A CRITICAL BIOGRAPHY OF ALLEN GINSBERG New York: St. Martin's Press, [1992].. Large thick octavo. Cloth and boards. Photographs. Near fine in lightly worn dust jacket. First edition. An excellent association copy, inscribed by the subject to his long-time friend and early mentor, Lucien Carr: "Dear Lucien - This is a little long & I haven't read it through myself - fast checked tender points re privacy - but it's friendly to the Buddhadharma so probably ok - As ever Allen / Ginsberg 3/15/94 N.Y.C." Ginsberg met Carr at Columbia University in 1943, and through Carr met Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady and William Burroughs. In the NYT Obituary for Carr (30 January 2005), Ginsberg's earlier comment about Carr's role in the circle of friendships that gave birth to the literary arm of the Beat generation was quoted: "Lou was the glue." Carr turns up in the text and in the index of this work with some frequency. [Bookseller: William Reese Company - Literature ABAA-]

Historisches Wörterbuch der Rhetorik. 11 Bände. Band 1 - 9: A bis Z; Band 10: Nachträge A bis Z. Band 11: Register. Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft Darmstadt, 1992.. ca 15000 Seiten. Gebundene Ausgabe. Mit dem Registerband.. Hardcoverbände mit goldener Titel- und Rückentitelprägung in nahezu neuwertigem Zustand. Mit dem gerade erst erschienenem Registerband.- Schon bevor die erste ausdrückliche Theorie der Überzeugung von Aristoteles ausgearbeitet worden war, gab es die Praxis der Rhetoriklehrer und existierten entsprechende Handbücher. Die Rhetoriker gehörten teilweise zur Bewegung der Sophisten und legitimierten die Überredung mit der Ansicht, dass eine Wahrheit nicht existiere oder wenn, nicht erkennbar sei. Im Mittelalter war die Rhetorik neben der Logik und Grammatik der Bestandteil des Triviums des in der Antike entstandenen Kanons der Sieben freien Künste. In der Aufklärung wurde die Rhetorik zunehmend aus dem Alltag, den Wissenschaften und dem Denken verdrängt, da man ihr vorwarf, von rationaler Erkenntnis abzulenken. Seither wird unter Rhetorik meist nur noch die Technik der Rede und der Textanalyse bzw. die Theorie und Praxis der Rede und des Gesprächs verstanden. Hohe politische Bedeutung erhielt sie wieder durch Karl Marx und später im Kommunismus als sogenannte sozialistische Rhetorik mit spezieller gesellschaftspolitischer Wortwahl. Sie deutete die politischen Verhältnisse im Sinne des Marxismus und stützte die Argumentation seiner Vertreter und ihre Überzeugungskraft. Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zur Rhetorik beschäftigen sich - vor allem seit der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts - überwiegend mit dem Gespräch sowie mit Fragen der Rede- und Gesprächspädagogik; ihre Forschungen kommen unter anderen aus der Sprechwissenschaft, der Linguistik (vor allem dem Sprachgebrauch in der Werbesprache), der Psychologie, der Pädagogik und der Soziologie.
