Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A sharp and influential mid-century critique of modern art and aesthetic theory, Mona Lisa's Mustache represents architect and cultural polemicist T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings at his most incisive. Written with wit and intellectual force, the book challenges Surrealism, abstrac…tion, and occultist tendencies in modern culture, engaging figures such as Rossetti, Kandinsky, Picasso, Blavatsky, and Dalí. The work became a touchstone for postwar debates on taste, classicism, and cultural authority. This copy is Near Fine overall. The cloth remains clean and well-colored with only the faintest signs of handling; corners sharp, spine square, and binding firm. Internally, the pages are clean and bright with light, neat pencil annotations and underlining that do not obscure text or interfere with readability. Of particular note are period handwritten notes on the front pastedown referencing Emma Goldman (1869-1940) and Wilhelm Reich (orgone theory) - thoughtful study notes that align thematically with the book's critique of mysticism, psychology, and modern ideological movements. Stated FIRST EDITION on the copyright page, with Borzoi colophon; first printing, 1947. T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings (1905-1976) was a British-born architect, designer, and cultural critic known for his vigorous defense of classical aesthetics and his opposition to modernist trends. Educated at Oxford, he later worked extensively in the United States, influencing architecture, interior design, and popular debates on taste. His writings, including Mona Lisa's Mustache, remain influential critiques of modern art's philosophical and cultural foundations.
