Known as Gilbert & George, Gilbert Proesch (born 1943) and George Passmore (born 1942) collaborate on brightly colored distinctive works of art. They are known for the highly formal appearance of their photo-based graphic artwork. Born in the Northern Italian South Tyrol region, Gilbert Proesch first studied in Austria and Germany before moving to London. His collaborator, George Passmore, was born in Plymouth in the United Kingdom and studied at the Dartington College and the Oxford School of Art and subsequently studied sculpture at St. Martins School of Art where he met Gilbert. While at school, they made The Singing Sculpture, a performance art-work. Wearing suits, they covered themselves in multi-colored powder and sang for substantial lengths of time. They later became known for "The Pictures" large-scale graphic work from photographs. Very good .

[Gilbert, Claude].

Histoire de Calejava ou de l'isle des hommes raisonnables : avec le paralèlle de leur morale et du christianisme.

Paris : EDHIS, [1970]. Facsimilé reprint 1700 [Dijon, Jean Reyseyre] edition. Orig. calf binding. 329,vii pp. (Éditions d'Histoire Sociale : réimpressions de textes rares). Numbered copy, Nr. 89 of 250. Condition : very good. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - Avocat dijonnais, Claude Gilbert (1652-1720) publie en 1700 (sans nom d'auteur ni d'éditeur) un récit utopique, L'Histoire de Calejava ou de l'isle des hommes raisonnables, avec le parallèle de leur morale et du christianisme. Il y raconte le voyage fictif en Lituanie d'un protestant chassé de France par la révocation de l'édit de Nantes, Christofile, de sa fille Eudoxe (qui, née d'une mère catholique, est alternativement protestante et catholique) et de son gendre Alâtre, et surtout y rapporte leurs entretiens avec les Avaïtes, habitants d'un pays imaginaire. Pour être admis à Calejava, il faut que les voyageurs soient « persuadés de l'existence d'un Dieu, de l'immortalité de l'âme et des peines et des récompenses de l'autre vie » ; mais il faut qu'ils soient « convaincus de ces vérités par des raisons solides et naturelles et non par l'autorité ». Gilbert rejette dogmes et miracles et prêche la tolérance et la solidarité, conditions du bonheur auquel Dieu destine les hommes et qu'ils peuvent acquérir en suivant la raison. À la religion il substitue une morale sociale, à la recherche individuelle du plaisir un altruisme assurant le bien général. Christofile et son guide turc fuient le pays. Quant à Gilbert, effrayé de ses propres audaces, il jette au feu tous les exemplaires de son livre à l'exception d'un seul qui a pu, ainsi que le manuscrit, être conservé. Bernard CROQUETTE, « GILBERT CLAUDE - (1652-1720) », Encyclopaedia Universalis [en ligne], consulté août 2015. The author, a lawyer from Dijon, realized, when he had a printed copy of his book in his hands, the possible dangerous consequences of publication and apparently convinced the printer to give him the entire edition which he destroyed with the exception of one copy. This last fact is doubted by Van Wijngaarden in his Les Odyssées philosophiques en France entre 1616 et 1789, in which work the chapter 3 is devoted to this work and its context.'Presented as scattered indications, the utopian picture occupies only a small part of the book, namely the chapters 5 & 6. Calejava was a community republic which practised economic communism relying on a rational collective urbanism and a system of public stores. Everybody has to work, but only five hours a day. The law allows divorce and encourages bigamy; celibacy, on the other hand, is severely punished and monastic chastity is considered a scandalous aberration. Children, taken away from their families at the age of four, are brought up by the State.Most of the dialogues deal with philosophical and religious ideas: it is clear that Gilbert was close to the libertine current and there are valid reasons for finding in this work an 'anti-Christian deism' (see Fortunati and Trousson).

(Sullivan, Arthur [of Gilbert & Sullivan fame]; German, Edward; and Hood, Basil).

Prof. Bunn / Elocutionist / Mesmerist / Ventriloquist / Illusionist / and / Entertainer / Children's Parties a Specialty": An Original Broadside Promoting Performances by One of the Characters in the Comic Opera "the Emerald Isle".

Early 1900's. [1901]. [1901]. - A 13 inch high by 8-1/8 inch wide broadside printed in black on pink paper, proclaiming "Prof. Bunn, Elocutionist, Mesmerist, Ventriloquist, Illusionist, and Entertainer. Children's Parties a Specialty". The broadside's proclamation is much the same as that by which the character of Professor Bunn identifies himself in Arthur Sullivan's comic opera "The Emerald Isle". The broadside is folded horizontally and vertically with creases and a couple of short tears to the edges. Good.

With a libretto by Basil Hood, the two-act comic opera "The Emerald Isle" was composed by Arthur Sullivan shortly before his death. Though he had only finished two musical numbers, he had left substantial notes and sketches for the voice part for much of the musical. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company commissioned Edward German to complete the work which had its premiere at the Savoy Theatre on April 27, 1901. The musical follows the efforts of Irish patriots who resist the "re-education" program imposed on them by the British. Professor Bunn, a "Professor of Elocution" who was hired by the British, switches sides and supports the Irish patriots and their resistance movement. Needless to say, the story contains comic romance and tales of Irish fairy folklore. Good .
