1st edition, number 38/160, limited, 2000. A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket in a Near Fine slipcase. Laid in is an original signed & numbered color lithograph created expressly for these copies by Stock. Lithograph titled "The Butler in Love" is signed and also numbered 38/160. The book is also signed by Conrad and Stock opposite the half title page. Only signs of very minor shelf wear. Lithograph is protected in glassine sleeve. "Mark Stock's paintings connect viewers to the euphoria, loneliness and sometimes fatal entanglements of romance. Often melodramatic and tinged with irony, Stock's images illustrate love's power to provoke our best - and most illicit - behavior. A well-dressed voyeur peeks through a mansion window, silent and intent on the object of his desire. Picnicking lovers lock into each other's eyes. An attractive woman smokes a cigarette as she sits next to a man's corpse, which has been rolled neatly in a carpet, ready for disposal. A butler steals a moment to treasure lipstick left on a glass by the woman who employs him. Stocks paintings tell each character's story with remarkable clarity and, in many cases, with humor. A master of the realist narrative style, Stock uses color, shadow and line to amazing effect. Details in facial inflection, body language, and background tell you there's more going on here than rapture, scandal, and dangerous liaisons. These paintings keep you coming back for another look, for clues to life's emotionally charged moments." Inside flap.…
