BatesReprint Services CorpOr the first true account of Lincoln's assassination, containing a complete confession by Booth many years after the crime. Giving in full detail the plans, plot and intrigue of the conspirators, and the treachery of Andrew Johnson, then Vice-President of the United States. This work was written for the correction of history. Illustrated. Sphinx: The Life and Art of Leonor Fini by Peter WebbVendome PressTalented, glamorous and ambitious, Leonor Fini was one of the most influential female artists of the 1930s. From her opulent, bohemian childhood in Italy to her debut in a group exhibition at the age of seventeen and her rise in the international art world, Fini was legendary for both her vivacious personality and her ethereal subjects. This is the first comprehensive look at Finis life and art. Fini’s figures—sphinxes, felines, nymphs, priestesses, nudes— are bold proclamations of female sexuality that convey a powerful feminine subconscious. Also renowned for her theatrical set-design, costumes and posters, the artist developed close relationships with other avant-garde Surrealists including Andre Breton, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, and Max Ernst, who became her lover. Henri Cartier-Bresson’s nude portrait of Fini in a pool, taken while they were vacationing together, recently sold at auction for a record sum. Sphinx is a fascinating portrait of a magnetic woman who lived her life with panache and elegance, deftly wrapping drama into her art. “Fêted for her paintings, illustrations, theatre designs and, above all, her flamboyant bohemian lifestyle.” ~ The Sunday Telegraph: Stella Magazine “This opulent tome befits her perfectly.” Grazia“One of the most flamboyantly potent female artists of the mid-20th century — outspoken, provocative and willfully contrary.” ~ The Times “A sort of female Dalí—colourful, extravagant, as famous in her heyday for her personal appearance as her art.”~ Malkin Towers Media blog “Dreamlike paintings.” ~ ELuxury
“One of those artists whose life may have been her greatest work.” ~ The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Glamorous Surrealist.” ~ Vogue
“A sensuous celebration of female sexuality.” ~ Dangerous Minds
“Her story is certainly fantastic.” ~ Spectator
“Compellingly individual.” ~ Bloomberg.com
“A fascinating subject.” ~ The Art Newspaper
“Gorgeous.” ~ Nothing Elegant blog
“A wonderful visual survey of an extraordinary career.” ~ The Independent
“Exquisite.” ~ The Vintage Academe Blog Leonor Fini (Electa) by Mondadori ElectaMondadori Electa (Acc)A complete volume dedicated to the extensive output of a great 20th century Italian artist, Leonor Fini (1907-1996), a friend of the Surrealists, close to the Dada movement, fascinated by the theater, but always herself, a woman and a star of enormous dynamism. Paul Eluard dedicated poems to her, she was photographed by Cartier-Bresson and Man Ray, she was a painter close to Surrealism, a scriptwriter, costume designer and illustrator and the person responsible for various ups and downs in Italian art-history criticism circles. Leonor Fini will do justice not only to her career as an artist and star but also her paintings, which are full of her vivacious spirit, and her extraordinary personality that Max Ernst defined as the Italian fury in Paris.
