Hardback. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near fine. First American edition. Karl Gerstner was known for several things at once: He was a graphic artist and typographer of the Swiss school, a color theorist and writer, and an abstract painter. Which aspect of his long career was most important shifted with time and according to the interests of the inquirer. "The Art of Karl Gerstner: The Spirit of Colors" (warning: references to this book are sometimes found with the title and subtitle reversed, for legitimate reasons) combines his theoretical work with many examples of his paintings. It also includes not only essays by Gerstner, but essays about Gerstner. What was he about? The general thrust of his thoughts on color, and perhaps his paintings, might be summed up by Lynn Gamwell in "The Guardian" in 2015, two years before Gerstner's death at age 86: "Swiss artists such as Gerstner created patterns that resonate with .mathematical descriptions of nature in terms of symmetry. Like the mathematicians, these artists established basic aesthetic building-blocks-units of color and form-and arranged them using rules that preserve proportion and balance." Critics were not always overly-fond of the end results when it came to his paintings as works of art in and of themselves. For example, Roberta Smith said this in the "New York Times" about one of Gerstner's rare solo exhibitions in 1997: ".there's a brittle, overly intellectual bravura to these machinations that makes them seem more like high-performance color charts than paintings, despite Mr. Gerstner's ability to make his technically perfect surfaces feel handmade.Thus while the works unlock some of color's mysteries to dazzling effect, the dazzle never deepens." There are so many examples of Gerstner's work in this book, including large fold-out plates, that you have plenty of information to form your own opinion. Our copy is a first printing of the first American edition. It was originally published in German with the title, "Der Geist der Farbe," or "The Spirit of Colors," which appears here both on the top of the front of the dust jacket and on the half-title page. However, the wording at the bottom of the front of the dust jacket, the title on the title page, and on the official Library of Congress catalog record is "The Art of Karl Gerstner"-hence where the confusion over the official title of the book comes in. To make matters worse, neither is stamped on the black linen binding, only Gerstner's name. That gray stamping is worn on the cover but still in fine shape on the spine, and the binding itself is in excellent condition, without even any bumping on the corners or spine. (There is some slight bowing on the boards, however.) The text block is tight and solid, and the pages are free of marks, creases, and tears. The dust jacket is showing slightly more wear, with a bit of shelf wear at the lower left corner of the rear panel and very small nick on top of the inside flap. The lamination is starting to pull away from the paper at a number of places as well, but at no place has it completely peeled away.…

If so, you will find of absorbing interest this autobiographic account of the life of Grace and Gilbert Stephenson at Warren Place, Pendleton, North Carolina. After nearly 40 years of life in cities, in 1950 they returned to their native state to make their home on the plantation owned and in the residence that had been built by his grandfather. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that they have made themselves a part of their ancestral community and that they have been accepted by its people. To their neighbors and friends, white and Negro alike, they are 'Mr. Gilbert' and 'Miss Grace' not Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson.In a community in which there are 70 negroes to 30 white people, they reveal and illustrate the friendly, cooperative relationships that exist between the races.[!] ; " Gilbert Thomas Stephenson (17 Dec. 1884-9 June 1972), lawyer, banker, author, educator, and farmer, was born at Warren Place near Pendleton, Northampton County, the only child of Susan Anna Fleetwood and James Henry Stephenson. His forebears were large plantation owners in the community. He was graduated from Severn High School in 1899 and at age fourteen entered Wake Forest College, where he earned an A.B. degree in 1902 and an M.A. degree in 1904. From Harvard University he received an M.A. degree in 1906 and an LL.B. degree in 1910. Wake Forest, on whose board of trustees he served for twenty-one years, three years as president of the board, awarded him an honorary doctor of civil law degree in 1955. Admitted to the bar in 1910, Stephenson began the practice of law in Winston-Salem. He was city solicitor, judge of the municipal court, and chairman of the Forsyth County Democratic Executive Committee. During World War I he was chairman of the state war bond campaign.On 19 Dec. 1912 he married Grace Morris White. They had two sons, Thomas Wilson of Wilmington, Del., and James Henry of Baltimore, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Following several months of critical illness, he died at age eighty-seven at Warren Place and was buried on the plantation in the family cemetery."- From Dictionary of North Carolina Biography ; FINE/VG.
