Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Kutovoi, Nikolai - Layout and Design (illustrator). First English Edition. 154 Pages. It is generally acknowledged that the twenty-five paintings by Paul Cezanne in the possession of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (14) and the Hermitage in Leningrad (11) constitute an extremely important part of the artist's legacy. They are not only of a high standard but are superb examples of the main periods in Cezanne's artistic career. Besides such recognized masterpieces as The Banks of the Marne, Great Pine near Aix, and Mont Sainte- Victoire, there are also some unique works, unparalleled in Cezanne's oeuvre, such as Girl at the Piano and Pierrot and Harlequin. All the paintings were acquired at the beginning of this (20th) century by two outstanding Russian collectors, Ivan Morozov and Sergei Shchukin, men of impeccable taste with a true eye for great art, which accounts for the exceptional quality of their collections. In buying Cezanne's canvases they were also encouraged by the keen interest which the Russian artistic public evinced in the master from Provence. As early as 1904, the year of Cezanne's first one-man show at the Salon d' Automne in Paris, the St Petersburg magazine Mir Iskusstva published reviews of Cezanne's exhibitions in Berlin and Paris. These were followed by a number of articles in the art magazines in 1910 and 1912. It was at this period that most of Cezanne's canvases now in the Soviet Union were acquired. In 1907, after Cezanne's posthumous exhibition at the Salon d' Automne, Ivan Morozov purchased two of his paintings, Plain by Mont Sainte-Vie to ire and Still Life with Curtain. But even in the most comprehensive of these treatises, the researcher was not able to cover the master's enormous output comprising over 800 pictures, about 500 drawings, and 350 watercolors. Each researcher therefore made his own selection from this treasure house and evaluated each chosen piece according to its merits. The author of this article attempts to analyse Cezanne's artistic development on the basis of pictures collected by Morozov and Shchukin. This is all the more interesting in view of the fact that Russian artists and critics also contributed to the collecting of Cezanne's works in this country, and that several generations of Russian and Soviet painters have drawn inspiration from the Cezannes in Morozov's and Shchukin's collections. There are 47 pages descriptive text followed by a biographical outline 1839 to Cezanne's death in 1906. This is followed by the 52 plates and 22 pages of notes on the plates. And lastly there is a list of Cazanne's exhibitions from 1895 in Paris 1982 in Tokyo.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Gilt and green coat of arms on front board; fold out colour frontispiece.Sections beginning to loosen. Bookplate pasted to front paste-down with some offsetting to front free endpaper. The pages were originally unopened. One pair has been opened carelessly with closed tears by the top of the spine. Two notes in ink and more in pencil adding omitted names or corrections. The loosely enclosed letter to a Lloyd Griffiths, dated 1889, suggests the corrections relate to members of his family. Instances of the name Lloyd are numbered in pencil. The pages of one central section have a 2" closed tear extending from the front edge inwards. A few other single pages have small closed tears. A thin line of damp-stain affects a few pages along the foot. Boards worn at corners and foot of spine, with 0.5cm section missing from frayed head and foot of spine. Pale staining to front board, and mild rubbing on rear board. Front joint cracked and loosened. Two splits across the spine causing slight flaps which have been re-adhered. Inner hinges cracked. Foxing here and there. Loosely inserted are: A list of incumbents for Caernarvonshire from 1873 (the date of publication, to 1890); a list in a different hand of Sheriffs of Anglesey updating to 1895 and signed by Lloyd Griffith, C.P.; three copies of a bookplate of the Free Library showing the Carnarvon(sic) Corporation Seal 1430 which is identical, but for a small difference, to the seal shown in the frontispiece. The glue backing of these has caused them to adhere, one to a page of the book, obliterating a part of the information there, one on top of that and one to the enclosed letter, which identifies the date of the seal and document shown in the frontispiece and describes the 'recent' rediscovery of the seal. Most of the writing is unaffected by the bookplate as it is stuck to the final page, which has less writing on it, and may be decipherable through a bright light. The book is weakened by use, but still all present, bound and holding. Good.

[New York}: The New York Exchange for Woman's Work (1940). 72pp. Booklet. Illustrated stiff paper covers; metal spiral bound. Ads. Some water staining at tail end in gutter; else very good. Recipes and menu suggestions from the Woman's Exchange Restaurant, founded in New York City in 1919. The restaurant was an outgrowth of the Woman's Exchange, a charitable group established to sell handcrafted goods made by "gentlewomen in reduced circumstances." The cookbook includes a wide variety of menus and recipes suitable for luncheon, dinner, "Sunday Supper," and even has "Hot Weather Suggestions" such as cold soups, egg salad, and cold meat, fowl, and fish. With ads for restaurants and purveyors of fine foods. When the restaurant closed in early 1980, one patron wistfully recalled: "Thank heavens for the Woman's Exchange, which served 'good food' in 'attractive surroundings' to 'a nice class of people.'" Here, in this 1940, pre-WWII cookbook, however, "the ladies who lunch" were on the rise. Women of the upper classes had not yet joined the workforce in great numbers. By the 1970s and 1980s that situation would change dramatically. Notes. 1. and 2. Patrons Bemoaning Loss Of Woman's Exchange - The New York Times (December 28, 1979) accessed online.
