"Scultrice di sentimenti e stati d'animo, narratrice di affetti con perizia da ingegnere meccanico, pittrice e disegnatrice delle emozioni profonde che percorrono la superficie della pelle eludendo la durezza del cuore. I suoi materiali d'elezione sono lo stagno galvanizzato, i colori acrilici, la carta, la matita, il carboncino, ma anche una serie di objets trouvés o di loro parti e di congegni meccanici utili a far ?muovere' le sue figure : cinghie, rulli, martinetti, fili, altalene metalliche, rotelle, manovelle, spirali. Tutto danza nei teatrini scultorei o pittorici allestiti da Leaf. Come se, dopo aver dato vita ai suoi personaggi, non resistesse alla tentazione di animarli, farli scivolare e fluire come portati dall'acqua o da un grande fuoco."

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Riproduzione anastatica dello sketchbook dell'artista. Testo e illustrazioni a colori e in bianco e  nero - anche su tavola ripiegata - di June Leaf . Cm 30,5x19. pp. 188. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Il 26 novembre 1974, June Leaf lasciò la sua prima annotazione scritta a mano, tipo diario, nel suo nuovo sketchbook (riprodotto qui da Steidl), durante un difficile inverno trascorso nelle miniere di carbone di Mabou, in Nuova Scozia, con suo marito Robert Frank: "Di solito non mi piace scrivere perché sono più soddisfatta da un'azione". Nonostante ciò Leaf continua questa pratica in tutto il suo sketchbook, a volte usando una stretta combinazione di immagini esplorative e testo scarabocchiato, a volte mettendo in pausa l'atto di prendere appunti per alcune pagine mentre un'idea visiva veniva raffinata attraverso un disegno. Il libro è un piacere da maneggiare ed esaminare da vicino: ogni macchia, sbavatura, segno di grafite cancellato e segno di pressione nel quaderno di schizzi originale è stato catturato nel facsimile. Questa attenzione ai dettagli permette naturalmente di apprezzare in profondità la sensibilità lineare, la velocità, l'inventiva e la varietà di Leaf, rendendo questa pubblicazione un documento prezioso nella ricerca del lavoro di Leaf e, allo stesso modo, per studi più generali sul processo artistico.

Condition: Wie neu. Steidl, Göttingen. 2010. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher`s plastic foil. Hardcover without jacket (as issued). 183 cm x 300 mm. 188 pages. Book design by June Leaf. Four colour throughout. "This book is a facsimile of June Leaf's sketchbook from the winter of 1974 and 1975, spent in Mabou Coal Mines, Nova Scotia. She has lived here since 1969 with her husband, Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank. The book is above all a working document of Leaf's thoughts. Drawing is her primary medium, an approach explained in her first written entry of 26 November, 1974: "I don't usually like to write because I am more satisfied by an action." Her sketches are exploratory, inquisitive, incomplete: for example she refines a motif as simple as a knot over days and weeks, drawing it in different ways until it becomes no more than a detail in a larger, more complex picture. Leaf is not afraid to express the difficulty of the creative process, her frustration as well as her progress: "I've come to a dead stop. Should make a sculpture don't want to! Should play the fiddle don't want to! Should take a walk too cold. Where's the inspiration?" Amidst such uncertainty Leaf's husband remains a constant source of inspiration: representations of Frank are scattered throughout the book, from its opening pages to the last, unpretentious entry of 24 April, 1975: "Blue book ends." (from the publisher) June Leaf was born in 1929 in Chicago, where she studied at the New Bauhaus Institute of Design. She concluded her art education at Roosevelt University in 1954. Leaf held her first solo exhibition at Sam Bordelon Gallery in Chicago in 1948 and has since exhibited internationally. Today Leaf spends the majority of her time in Mabou Coal Mines, although she and her husband are often drawn back to the metropolis: to Bleecker Street on New York's Lower East Side.***************Steidl, Göttingen. 2010.
