Hard Cover. Zustand: Fine (see description). Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine (see description). Rob Suggs Cover Art (illustrator). First Edition. ------------( 1st printing of the First Edition ) ---hardcover, a Fine copy in a Fine dustjacket, signed by Lamsley (Best Wishes Terry ), Rath and Griffin --In 1961, ghost story writer H.R. Wakefield stated bluntly, I believe ghost story writing to be a dying art . . . This pessimistic statement has been echoed down through the decades since the Second World War, an event which, for many, seems to signify the end of the Golden Age of ghost stories. --Are those people correct who claim that the modern world, with its all-too-real technological horrors, is no place for the ghost story, with its seemingly gentler terrors? Or is there still room today for tales that frighten without recourse to gruesome special effects , designed simply to appeal to a more and more jaded audience? --Midnight Never Comes, the first anthology of all-new stories from Ash-Tree Press, clearly shows that the art of the ghost story is very much alive and well, and ready to enter the next century. Gathered together here are seventeen stories by contemporary writers in the genre, designed to prove that the traditional supernatural tale is far from a dying art. In a variety of styles and settings, the authors explore that dark world which, in these stories, exists beside -and often intrudes upon -our own, with results that range from the terrifying to the humorous. This is a collection of supernatural tales which will delight long-time enthusiasts of the genre, and at the same time show that there is something new under the sun, and that reports of the ghost-story s demise are very much premature. --Contents: Stephen Volk: The Latin Master ; Colin Mackay: Mary King s Close ; Michael Chislett St Asphodel and St Jonquil ; Tina Rath: "Father" O Flynn and the Fressingfold Friezes ; Terry Lamsley: The Snug ; Rosemary Pardoe: The Sheelagh-na-gig ; John Whitbourn: Bury My Heart at Southerham (East Sussex); Jonathan Aycliffe: The Scent of Oranges ; Marni Griffin: Outside the Gates ; David G.

Georgia O'Keeffe; Charles Demuth; Louis Lozowick; Morton Livingston Schamberg; Paul Strand; Edmund Lewandowski; Elsie Driggs, Etc (illustrator). First Edition. -------------( 1st Printing of the First Edition ) ---hardcover, a Near Fine/Fine example in a lightly rubbed Near Fine/Fine dustjacket, 243 pages, profusely illustrated in colour and b&w photos and illustrations, ---"Characterized by highly structured, geometric compositions and lucid forms, Precisionism -a style that emerged in America in the teens and flourished during the 1920s and 1930s-reconciled realism with abstraction and wed European art movements to American subject matter to create a streamlined, -machined- aesthetic with themes ranging from the urban and industrial to the pastoral. The tensions and ambivalences about industrialization expressed in works by the Precisionists are particularly fascinating and relevant to a contemporary audience in the midst of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, in which robots are replacing human labor for various functions, underscoring many of the same excitements and anxieties about modernization that existed nearly a century ago. -----Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the de Young in San Francisco and the Dallas Museum of Art, Cult of the Machine: Precisionism and American Art examines the connections between the past and the present through more than one hundred masterworks by such modernists as Charles Demuth, Georgia O Keeffe, and Charles Sheeler. This elegant volume sheds scholarly light on the aesthetic and intellectual concerns undergirding the development of this essential strand of early American modernism, exploring the origins of its style, its relationship to photography, and its reflection of the social and economic changes wrought by industrialization and technology. -----Four essays contextualize the many intriguing aspects of Precisionist art within the social and political landscape of the Machine Age. Emma Acker leads readers through the major themes of the historic topic in dialogue with salient contemporary examples. Sue Canterbury focuses on the city as a key subject of many Precisionist works. Lauren Palmor describes the aesthetic attraction to steel factories shared by the painter Elsie Driggs and the photographer Margaret Bourke-White. And Adrian Daub offers a philosophical thought piece that examines the human relationship to modernity and technology shared by the Precisionists of yesteryear and artists today. -----Including a detailed timeline that links artistic and technological precedents in the first half of the twentieth century and replete with more than two hundred reproductions of works of art and archival photographs, this catalogue is the first in many years to survey the extraordinary contribution of the Precisionists to American art and culture"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)--- Size: 10.25w x 11.75h Inches.
