"Rabbi Israel Goldfarb, who was also a cantor, was born in Sieniawa, Galicia (now Poland) , and immigrated to the United States in 1893. He graduated from Columbia University and attended the Institute of Musical Art (now The Juilliard School) as well as the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he later served on the faculty for more than twenty years as an instructor in biblical cantillation and basic prayer chants for rabbinical students. He was also the rabbi of an active traditional synagogue in Brooklyn for fifty-one years. But Goldfarb is best remembered today for his many contributions to synagogue music, especially with regard to compiling as well as creating congregational melodies and harmonized responses for the liturgy. He was one of the first in America outside specifically Reform circles to publish such songsters for the synagogue as well as for school and home use. Some of these were done in the 1920s in collaboration with his brother, Samuel Eliezar Goldfarb, a liturgical composer and Jewish music educator in his own right.

Hardcover. First Edition. Black photo-illustrated DJ with red and white lettering; white cloth boards with stamped and black lettering; 200 pp., unpaginated; richly illustrated with b&w photos. "One of the most important artists to emerge in the last quarter century was Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989), whose bold photographs left a strong impression on society and culture. Known primarily for his refined aesthetic, Mapplethorpe created classical portraits, nudes, and still lifes that helped redefine photography as an art form at a time when the medium was floundering. Mapplethorpe's controversial sex pictures -- blunt images of sadomasochism and live "play"--Were simultaneously condemned and revered during Mapplethorpe's life, and later became the center of debate over public funding for the arts, censorship, and the First Amendment. Pictures., a book created in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, presents for the first time the full range of these sexual images, which many critics believe to be the artist's most inspired work. This book is a tribute to Robert Mapplethorpe's daring vision and his enduring legacy. Edited and designed by Dimitri Levas, with text by Ingrid Sischy, Pictures. dispenses with the intellectual, political, and religious rhetoric surrounding earlier debates, allowing the photographs to speak on their own terms." -- WorldCat.
