The Sketchbooks of Picasso "Je Suis Le Cahier" Hardcover Book 1st Ed. 1986
By (after) Pablo Picasso
Located in North Hollywood, CA
"Je Suis Le Cahier" The Sketchbooks of Picasso hardcover book 1st Edition 1986 The Sketchbooks of Picasso "Je Suis Le Cahier". Pablo Picasso, "Picasso considered all of his works to be entries in his diary; he excluded nothing. The sketchbooks are generic chapters inextricable from his oeuvre. In Picasso's paintings the spontaneity of gesture is deceptive since the manner is which he leaves his tracks visible superficially suggests minimal preparation. Although most of Picasso's solutions appear to be immediately worked out on the canvas, this was far from the fact. Many paintings sprang fully formed as the fulfillment of preconscious models, but very often others were the product of the process of trial solution and discovery through drawing. There are eight sketchbooks for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, five for the saltimbanques, four for the Luncheon on the Grass series, and two for The rape of the Sabines. In sketchbook No. 171, Picasso inscribed...

Leather & Bronzed Metal Gothic Revival Photo Album w. Gilt Pages Antique Photos
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique and very rare Gothic photo book filled with French photos from circa 1860-1880. Over the decades we have bought and sold many Gothic Revival antiques from almost all the centuries since Gothic pieces have been around. This however is the first time that we ever found a pure Gothic photo album. This hand-crafted album dates from circa 1870-1890 and some of the antique photos are even older. The most eyecatching features (when this album is closed) are ofcourse the large, bronzed metal, Gothic hinges and they even still open and close perfectly on the side where this album closes and opens. Another great feature is the embossed leather Gothic decoration on the spine of this rare antique. It includes two Gothic trefoil symbols for the trinity, making this rare antique also a meaningful one. The guilded outsides of the pages makes it resemble the outsides of many large antique bibles and the multitude of photos inside (many Parisian) are images that tell part of the story of what life was like (for the well to do) in the mid 1800s in France. Besides the clothes and furniture, the facial expressions also have a story to tell. If you have an eye for those things then this Gothic album...
