Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 7 inches. This sheet has been folded in half, resulting in four panels. Only the front panel has text. This has been provisionally dated as 1931 as that is the first year after the school moved to North Faring Road where June 10th fell on a Wednesday. Text reads: Miss de Laguna and Miss Vance request the honor of your presence at the Commencement Exercises of the Westlake School for Girls on Wednesday morning, June tenth at eleven o'clock seven hundred North Faring Road. This invitation was addressed to Miss Louisa Sterry, believed to be the daughter of Norman S. Sterry, famed California lawyer. Frederica De Laguna, Frederica (b. around 1874) was an American educator. Born in Oakland, California, c. 1874; Stanford, AB, 1896, Columbia, AM, 1904. With Jessica Smith Vance, founded Westlake School for Girls in Los Angeles (1904) and Westlake Junior College (1924), later known as Holmby College. Founded by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna as a small college preparatory school in 1904, it was initially located opposite of Westlake Park. In 1917, the school moved to Westmoreland Avenue in the Wilshire district and then to the location at 700 N. Faring Road.; Originally constructed in 1928 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the dormitory and complete campus were designed by Arthur Kelly and his associate, Joe Estep. The design included exterior stucco walls, tiled roofs, and arches as decorative motifs, towers, corbel tables, and wrought-iron balconies. The demolition of much of the campus followed the 1971 Sylmar earthquake. The Westlake School for Girls was established in 1904 by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna in what is now downtown Los Angeles, California, as an exclusively female institution offering both elementary and secondary education. It was so-named because it was near Westlake Park, now known as MacArthur Park. At the time, the school was a for-profit alternative to the already-established Marlborough School, which had been established as a non-profit before the turn of the century. It moved to its present-day campus located on North Faring Road in Holmby Hills, California, in 1927. The school was purchased by Sydney Temple, whose daughter, Helen Temple Dickinson, was headmistress until 1966, when Westlake became a non-profit institution. Shirley Temple, the child star, attended the school as did many who became notables in acting, athletics, and other endeavors (Astronaut Sally Ride was an alumnae). The Temple family owned the school until 1977, with Dickinson serving in an ex officio capacity. In 1968 Westlake became exclusively a secondary school. The Harvard School for Boys was established in 1900 by Grenville C. Emery as a military academy, on the site of a barley field located at the corner of Western Avenue and Sixteenth Street (now Venice Boulevard) in Los Angeles, California. Emery was originally from Boston, and around 1900 he wrote to Harvard University to ask permission to use the Harvard name for his new secondary school, and received permission from the university's then-President, Charles W. Eliot. As both schools continued to grow in size towards the late 1980s, and as gender exclusivity became less of a factor both in the schools' reputations and desirability, the trustees of both Harvard and Westlake effectuated a merger in 1989. The two institutions had long been de facto sister schools, and interacted socially. Complete integration and coeducation began in 1991. Single sheet, printed on one side, with thin protective sheet (with small tears) and envelop.

Volume riccamente illustrato a col. ; Presenta leggeri segni d'uso ai bordi (senza mancanze nè lacerazioni), interno senza scritte; Molto buono(come da foto). ; From the many thousands of paintings, sculptures and constructions in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 150 outstanding examples have been chosen to indicate the quality and diversity of modern masters and movements from about 1885 to the present day. This book, a substantial revision of An invitation to See first published in 1973, takes account of new developments in art since then and the Museum's acquisitions of notable examples of both earlier and more recent date. (.) Painters range from late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century pioneers of Modernism such as Degas, Cézanne, van Gogh and Seurat to late twentieth-century artists who challenge the very premises of Modernism itself. Sculptures vary from representations of the human figure by Rodin, Matisse and Moore, to an abstraction by Arp, a bird by Brancusi and a soft sculpture by Oldenburg. Among the constructions are works by Picasso, Calder and David Smith. .; L immagine se disponibile, corrisponde alla copia in vendita. Inglese.

Original cloth. Condition: Sehr gut. Edition: 1. 276 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In very good condition. - Content: This book traces the shaping force of the medieval in that decade most responsible for the emergence of "French theory," one of the great reifed formations of academic modernity. It is a formation eternally ripe for defamiliarization, and I cannot claim to have studied this particular aspect of it with anything approaching the care or comprehensiveness it deserves. In fact, the closer this project came to completion, the more clearly I could see the extent of its blind spots, and thus the extent of my reliance throughout on the works of those with real expertise in the intellectual history of twentieth-century France; here I would single out Francois Dosse's indispensable histories of French structuralism and of the Annales school (two works which, when read side by side, would make many of the same points belabored in what follows), Tony Judt's books on the modern French Left, and the dozen-odd intellectual biographers of the central figures studied in these five chapters. Nor can the notes reflect the influence of other scholars I have never met particularly Margaret Cohen, Patrick Ffrench, Suzanne Guerlac, Rosalind Krauss, and Michael T. Saler on my ways of thinking about the intricate and often surprising inner workings of modern avant-garde subcultures, both the one studied here and others. I have benefited as well from the growing genre of books scrutinizing the impact of medievalism and medieval studies on modern (mostly French) thought, in particular R. Howard Bloch and Stephen G. Nichols's Medievalism and the Modernist Temper, of which this book might be understood as a later chapter; Katherine Bergeron's Decadent Enchantments, which approaches related issues from a musicological angle; and Amy Hollywood's Sensible Ecstasy, which appeared as the manuscript was nearing completion and which I have tried to note where appropriate. I owe a special debt to the late Pierre Bourdieu, who shortly before his death granted me permission to include a translation of his postface to Erwin Panofsky's Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism as an appendix to this project. Emily Steiner encouraged me to expand what was a long and unwieldy essay into a short book. Brainstorming sessions with William Kuskin and Mark Winokur helped me to reframe some of the central questions I have tried to ask, while Jessica Rosenfeld's sharp reading of the second chapter clarified what I was trying to say about Lacan. The book has its distant point of origin in a deceptively simple question Caroline Bynum asked me more than ten years ago; I hope I have begun to answer it here. Jennifer Jahner and Kat Rutkowski furnished able research and fact-checking assistance in the final stages. Others providing helpful comments, invitations, readings, and responses included Barbara Nolan, Helen Solterer, Michelle Warren, Barbara Newman, David Wallace, Rita Copeland, Jody Enders, Catherine Sanok, Eugene Vance, Vance Smith, Michael Uebel, Andrew Cole, Kellie Robertson, Erin Labbie, Sarah Kay, Andy Stafford, John Caputo, Sarah Beckwith, David Aers, and Ann Williams-Gascon; and, at the University of Colorado, Karen Jacobs, Jeffrey DeShell, Christopher Braider, Andy Cowell, Jeff Cox, Timothy Morton, Katherine Eggert, Elizabeth Robertson, John-Michael Rivera, Joe Amato, Katherine Millersdaughter, Charlotte Sussman, Valerie Forman, Brendan O'Kelly, and John Stevenson. At the University of Chicago Press, Alan Thomas s early interest in this project yielded a contract and several extensions, while Randy Peti-los has been a model of editorial patience and precision; both have made working with the Press an absolute joy. I have been particularly fortunate in the Press's choice of external reviewers: an anonymous reader helped me sharpen and define the project at a much earlier stage, while Amy Hollywood and Kevin Hart crucially stressed the importance of turning the book more explicitly toward the theological issues that now dominate several of the chapters. All three saved me from a number of embarrassing errors and oversights. Laurence Petit has proven an indefatigable ally throughout the course of this project: as a translator, a fact-checker, and a patient respondent to innumerable uninformed questions about French intellectual culture, university organization, and so on. She has been a collaborator in the best sense of the word, and I owe her an enormous debt of gratitude. Two budding avant-gardistes in my life, Campbell and Malcolm, have helped me maintain perspective and sort priorities at nearly every turn, and I thank them for their eternal lack of patience. The book is dedicated to Anna Brickhouse, both for lending this book her legendary skills as a reader and commentator and for sharing the gifts of her intellect, her humor, her time, and her love.
