| ARNHEIM, RUDOLF. ART AND VISUAL PERCEPTION: A Psychology of the Creative Eye. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1954. First edition. First edition. 4to. Near fine in very good minus jacket. Jacket with fading, rubbing and edgewear. Jacket unclipped. Book has minor shelfwear at extremities. Inscribed by the editor of the University of California Press, August Frug to UC Press author Henry Schaefer Simmern: "For our most patient author, Henry / Schaefer Simmern / University of California Press / August Frug." Additionally INSCRIBED BY ARNHEIM with an original poem: "With patience has the author to contend, / Impatience suits the artist and the friend. / You egged me on with fist and frown: / 'Sit on your so-and-so and write it down!' / And so, impatiently, you gave to me / Some of the things you are and see. / July 1954 / Berkeley / Rudolph Arnheim. Hard Cover. Very Good in Very Good DJ. First edition of this groundbreaking classic in which Arnheim -- through Gestalt theory -- argues that perception and thought should be conceived of as nearly synonymous. Inscribed to the man largely responsible for its publication; according to Darla Darning Kelly in Uncovering the History of Children's Drawing and Art, Arnheim "struggled for years to have his [.] Art and Visual Perception published, but his work met only with rejection. Through the intercession of Henry Schaefer Simmern, who introduced Arnheim to August Frug, editor at the University of California Press, [the book] was finally published in 1954" (116, quoting Berta 548). Since its publication, Art and Visual Perception has never been out-of-print and has been translated into over a dozen languages; it was revised in 1974 and reissued in a 50th anniversary edition in 2004. A remarkable association among the three men most most closely involved with its production. The book carries no formal dedication; in many ways, however, what should be considered the dedication copy of this seminal book, one of the 20th century's most important works of art theory.

| BRAINARD, JOE. THE BANANA BOOK. New York: Siamese Banana, 1972. First edition. 4to. Side-stapled mimeograph.

Else sharp and bright. First edition, one of 26 lettered copies signed by Brainard. The "A" copy. Wraps. Very Good. Typical Brainard: gossipy, funny, and erotic.
