A propos de cet article

Book Condition: Very good. First edition of limited edition of 1000 copies. Long poem accompanied by turn-of-the-19th century B/W photos by an unknown photographer in Florence, Italy. The text block is in very good condition with no tears, dog ears, or marks. Tight binding. The cream-colored rough texture cloth cover is in very good condition but for some discoloration along the edges. The corners are not bumped, nor is the spine. The dust jacket is intact, but is sun-browned in spots, slightly chipped, and has a few small tears along crease of the inner blurb. 7 x 8 ¼?, 67 pages, 13 ounces. XX [Information from the dust jacket blurb]: When asked about himself Donald Weismann (1914-2007) said he was born at 788 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In that town full of Rhenish architecture he claims to have said ja before he said yes, and that after learning to say yes, he's said it almost to the exclusion of no. He remembers his first heroine as Laura La Plante as he saw her in the movie, LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN. His father, an erstwhile motorcycle racer, pugilist, magician, juggler, acrobat and genius with old-style numbers, brought home young Weismann's first live array of heroes, heroes like Stanislaus Zbysco the World's Champion heavyweight wrestler, Thurston the magician, Paavo Nurmi the ?Flying Finn," a man called ?Soapy" who could spit tacks into the wall to form the outline of the United States of America, and a man called Paganini Burns who played The Rosary on a violin?with one hand. Weismann added that between heroes there were packs of terribly fine dogs that followed his father home. [Biography] Donald L. Weismann attended the University of Wisconsin (B.S., Ph.M.), University of Minnesota, Harvard University (Carnegie Fine Arts Scholarship) and Ohio State University (PhD). After teaching art in Wauwatosa and Sheboygan, Wisconsin high schools, he taught art history at Illinois State Normal University, North Texas State University, Wayne State University, the University of Kentucky where he was Professor of Art and head of the Department of Art, and at The University of Texas, first as Chairman of the Department of Art, and since 1964 as University Professor in the Arts. He is also Chairman of the Program in Arts and Letters. During 1961-1962 he was a special consultant to the U.S. Information Service in Florence, Italy. He has published scholarly articles, stories, and poems in the New Republic, Art Journal, Midwest Review, University Review, Texas Quarterly, The Christian Scholar and others. A book, Language and Visual Form, is due from the University of Texas Press in 1966. Dr. Weismann's work in painting and collage has been exhibited in the principal galleries of the U.S. and has been nationally circulated by the American Federation of Arts. His work has won various prizes and awards in regional and national exhibitions. He is married to the former Elizabeth Wilder. They have two teen-aged children, Anne and Christopher.…
