Identifier: CC-27387-28428
Scope and Contents

This exhibition catalogue was adapted from the German edition published on the occasion of Heartfeld's exhibition at the Akadamie der Kunste zu Berlin in 1991. John Heartfield, born Helmut Herzfeld, is known primarily as an inventor of photomontage. He was a master of bitter, satiric art using images and texts from newspapers, magazines, and advertisements juxtaposing incongruous details and creating strong images. Heartfield's aim was to mobilize social energy and expose the evils and corruptions of Nazi Germany. Fleeing Germany when Hitler came to power, Heartfield worked in England creating graphic design illustrations for the publishing industry. Several designs for book covers and dust jackets by a number of writers are reproduced in the book. Heartfeld was an active member of the Dada group in Germany in the 1920's. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-52199-73320
Scope and Contents Anthony Gurgess provided the introduction to this book.Library Journal Review (Michael Rogers): "James Joyce is remarkably alluring, and it's not just the writing. There's something about the figure of old Kinch himself with his walking stick and thick spectacles that's compelling. This heavily illustrated extravaganza (90 photographs in all) celebrates the great artist in all his incarnations from Dublin boyhood to elder years. Except for the mustache, he looks the same throughout-his is a face scratched in stone from birth. The late Anthony Burgess's introduction provides a brief biography on Joyce, and the volume is capped off with a chronology of his life. The main course of this sumptuous feast, however, is the portfolio of photos and drawings, many familiar (by Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, for instance) but many published here for the first time.

Jubilate Agno / Smart, Christopher., 1954

Scope and Contents This text is re-edited from the original manuscript with an introduction and notes by W.H. Bond, curator of manuscripts at the Houghton Library, Harvard University. "This extraordinary poem was written between 1756 and 1763, when its author was confined in a lunatic asylum...In its 1939 edition the poem was wrongly arranged so that many of its wild outpourings seemed a good deal more lunatic than they actually were. Mr Bond has proved...that some, if not all, of the poem was intended to be read antiphonally, in the manner of Hebrew poetry...It is as it were, a poem for two voices." This new arrangement brings out the power and imagery of the poem. This poem parses the holy scriptures into morphemes and alphabetizes the pieces, transforming holy writ into language according tp Thomas Vogler, a contemporary critic. Smart uses the Hebrew letter, lamed, to signify God in the poem. This copy was signed and owned by John Frederic Nims, a poet whose work is held by the Sackner Archive....
