Edvard Heiberg was among the leading figures in the struggle for cultural values in Danish society. In 1930 Heiberg became a professor at the famous Bauhaus in Dessau, where Hannes Meyer had replaced Walter Gropius as director. But it was a short stay due to the political troubles that soon brought the school to an end. Heiberg later went to Moscow for a short stay also where he worked on urban planning with the expatriate Hannes Meyer. Heiberg was a convinced and active communist. He became chairman of the Studentersamfundet in 1933 and editor of the magazine Plan. During the occupation, he also ended up in Vestre prison and then came to Horserødlejren until he escaped and came to Sweden. Here he worked until the liberation of Svenska Riksbyggen. After returning home, he resumed his collaboration with Karl Larsen, and they built, among other things, one of the high-rise buildings at Bellahøj and a section of the large residential area Voldparken in Husum. In addition to his many excellent articles in Kritisk Revy, Arkitekten and others, H. marks his strong social commitment with the book 2 Vær. straks, 1935, a harsh contribution to the housing debate.

First printing thus. - "Writings and artists' projects from Real Life magazine, a seminal 1980s periodical edited by the artist, writer and curator Thomas Lawson and writer Susan Morgan. Published in 23 intermittent black-and-white issues from 1979-1994, Real Life was devoted to providing an outlet for a circle of artists who did not feel properly represented in the mainstream art world at the time--many of whom are now grouped with the Pictures and Post-Pictures artists. The anthology features both artists and art historians writing on art, media and popular culture--oftentimes infusing a new kind of humor into their cultural critiques--as well as original pictorial contributions. It includes writings by and about Eric Bogosian, Kim Gordon, Dan Graham, Barbara Kruger, Thomas Lawson, Allan McCollum, John Miller, Matt Mullican, Richard Prince, David Robbins, Michael Smith, Ed Ruscha, Jeff Wall and Lawrence Weiner, to name a few, as well as visual projects by Sherrie Levine, James Welling, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Group Material, among others."

COWELL, Henry:
Kirkegaards Antikvariat
kir54379
New York: Something Else Press, 1969. Publishers original hardcover with well preserved and unclipped dustjacket. Fine yellow endpapers and topedge in green matching the binding. XXIII,158 pages, with scores. Jacket faded else a fine, clean and well preserved copy. First edition of this beautifully made revised version. Since its original publication in 1930, Henry Cowell's New Musical Resources has become recognized as one of the few seminal technical studies to be written by a twentieth-century composer - "The purpose is to point out the influence the overtone series has exerted on music throughout its history" Cowell states in his introduction. Henry Cowell, in full Henry Dixon Cowell (1897-1965) American composer who, with Charles Ives, was among the most innovative American composers of the 20th century. Cowell grew up in poverty in San Francisco and on family farms in Kansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma. He acquired a piano at age 14, and the following year he gave a concert of his experimental piano compositions. At 17 he studied at the University of California with the influential musicologist Charles Seeger, who persuaded him to undertake the systematic study of traditional European musical techniques. He also urged Cowell to formulate a theoretical framework for his innovations, which he did in his book New Musical Resources (1919; published 1930), an influential technical study of music. While studying comparative musicology in Berlin with Erich von Hornbostel, Cowell became interested in the music of other cultures; he later studied Asian and Middle Eastern music, elements of which he absorbed into many of his own compositions. In 1923–33 Cowell undertook a series of tours of Europe as composer and pianist. Many of his concerts provoked uproar, but they also brought him to the attention of leading modern European composers. He taught at the New School for Social Research in New York City in 1932–52 and, from 1949, at Columbia University. From 1936 to 1940 he was incarcerated in San Quentin state prison on charges of homosexual conduct. He continued to write music while in prison, and in 1940 he was paroled to the custody of composer Percy Grainger. Cowell was granted a full pardon in 1942. Cowell’s innovations appear particularly in the piano pieces written between 1912 and 1930. Seeking new sonorities, he developed “tone clusters,” chords that on the piano are produced by simultaneously depressing several adjacent keys (e.g., with the forearm). Later he called these sonorities secondal harmonies—i.e., harmonies based on the interval of a second in contrast to the traditional basis of a third. These secondal harmonies appear in his early piano pieces, such as The Tides of Manaunaun (1912); in his Piano Concerto (1930); and in his Synchrony (1931) for orchestra and trumpet solo. Some of his other piano compositions, such as Aeolian Harp (1923) and The Banshee (1925), are played directly on the piano strings, which are rubbed, plucked, struck, or otherwise sounded by the hands or by an object. Cowell’s Mosaic Quartet (1935) was an experiment with musical form; the performers are given blocks of music to arrange in any desired order. With the Russian engineer Leon Theremin, Cowell built the Rhythmicon, an electronic instrument that could produce 16 different simultaneous rhythms, and he composed Rhythmicana (1931; first performed 1971), a work specifically written for the instrument. Cowell wrote numerous pieces reflecting his interest in rural American hymnology, Irish folklore and music, and non-Western music. In order to publish the scores of modern composers, he founded the New Music Quarterly in 1927 and was its editor until 1936. He also edited American Composers on American Music (1933) and with his wife, Sidney Cowell, wrote Charles Ives and His Music (1955). A number of well-known American composers, including John Cage, Lou Harrison, and George Gershwin, studied with and were influenced by Cowell.

Kirkegaards Antikvariat

Strandberg Publishing, 2023. Hardcover. 316 pp. Richly illustrated. New, unopened copy. 1st ed. "Hailed as one of the most significant figures of early Modernism and at the same time condemned for his work and his moral – the discussion about Gauguin, his art and his character is still relevant today. Especially at a time where #MeToo is shedding new light on Gauguin’s relationship with adolescent girls and his share in colonialism in French Polynesia. ‘Gauguin – The Master, the Monster and the Myth’ is the first in-depth biography about the artist written by a Danish writer. The publication shares new insights about Gauguin – about his complex character as an artist and a human being. It challenges the traditional ideas we have about his life and work. Flemming Friborg unfolds the fascinating story about Gauguin’s life and the millieu of Impressionism that he was a part of but also at the same time distinguishing himself from. The book shows how his method and moral was bound in a carefully maintained, personal brand and therefore the master and the monster must be seen as inseparable – and therefore, as a result of this, Gaugain’s legacy and status as a genius artist remains unclear.". - Flemming Fribog (b. 1965) is an Art Historian and Associate Professor at CBS (Management, Politics and Philosophy). From 2002-17 he was director of Ny Garlsberg Glyptotek. He has been awarded several Danish and international orders such as the N.L. Høyen medal from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the honourable order L’ordre ministériel des Arts et des Lettres presented by the French Ministry of Culture.

Hinges a bit week, some foxing to topedge and endpapers. Overall a good acceptable copy. First edition. Elinor Glyn (née Sutherland 1864 –1943) was a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialised in romantic fiction, which was considered scandalous for its time Glyn pioneered risqué, and sometimes erotic, romantic fiction aimed at a female readership, a radical idea for its time. She became an upholder of women's right to explore and articulate their own sexuality. In her novel The Man and the Moment (1914), she coined the use of the word it to mean a characteristic that "draws all others with magnetic force. With 'IT' you win all men if you are a woman–and all women if you are a man. 'IT' can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction." Her use of the word is often erroneously taken to simply be a euphemism for sexuality or sex appeal. She had intimate knowledge of the decor and haute couture of the courts of Europe and this was a part of the Glyn author persona which she cultivated and publicly projected. She had genuinely seen the courts of Russia, Spain, Britain and Egypt, and had circulated in high society in France and the United States. With such knowledge, Glyn was called on by radio presenters, magazine editors, chairs of women's associations and others to speak and entertain their audiences. She was asked to talk on etiquette and romance, on marriage and on beauty; her advocacy of sexual freedoms and discussions of marriage and divorce meant that she was a popular speaker. The press noted where she went, what she wore and what she was saying. Her opinions made the headlines. During World War I, Glyn became a war correspondent, working in France. At the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, 28 June 1919, Glyn was one of only two women present.

Kirkegaards Antikvariat
kir58939
Gyldendalske Boghandel, 1883. I pænt, lidt slidt samtidigt halvshirt med forgyldt titel. 403 pp. Forreste indre fals svag men stadig solid. En del samtidige blyantsunderstregninger. 1ste udgave. Proviniens: Komponisten Victor Bendix med dennes signatur. "Den kulturrevolutionerende Georg Brandes navngav i denne portrætsamling for første gang begrebet "det moderne gennembrud", der blev definerende for perioden op til det 20. århundrede. Her introducerede han de vigtigste forfattere i Norden, der gennem litteraturen satte problemer under debat og dermed skabte opbrud i de herskende samfundsnormer. Med skarp pen beskriver Brandes forfattere som Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Henrik Ibsen og J.P. Jacobsen. En vigtigt værk om en skelsættende periode i skandinavisk kultur. Georg Brandes (1842-1927) er den mest indflydelsesrige litteraturkritiker og –teoretiker i dansk litteraturhistorie. Det var netop Georg Brandes, der definerede de litterære genrer realisme og naturalisme op imod senromantikken, som han så som virkelighedsfjern og præget af tom æstetik." - Om Victor Bendix er der skrevet "Pianisten, komponisten og dirigenten Victor Bendix (1851-1926) var en spændende og særpræget skikkelse i dansk musikliv i årtierne omkring 1900 og en fin mentor for Carl Nielsen, som trods aldersforskellen blev hans nære kammerat og kollega. Victor Bendix kom fra et jødisk hjem i København, hvor han tidligt blev meget god til at spille klaver. I 1867 blev han optaget på den allerførste årgang på Københavns Musikkonservatorium med Niels W. Gade som en streng lærer i komposition og en tid lang hans mentor. Men Victor Bendix ville andet og mere end den meget konservative musikretning, der op til århundredskiftet blev tegnet af Gade og I.P.E. Hartmann. Da han i 1872 blev hyret som repetitør for Det kgl. Teater blev han fuldstændig begejstret over indstuderingen af Wagners to operaer Lohengrin og Tristan og Isolde. Sin løn brugte han umiddelbart efter til at rejse til Bayreuth, hvor grundstenen til Wagners operahus netop blev lagt, og han overværede prøver, hvor Wagner indstuderede Beethovens 9. symfoni. Besøget blev i den grad stimulerende for Bendix musikalske udvikling og gav ham mange nye kontakter. Han blev ikke alene den første dansker, der besøgte Bayreuth, men også (sammen med sin bror Otto) den første elev af Frantz Liszt. Orienteringen mod den nytyske senromantiske musik smittede også af på Victor Bendix egne kompositioner, ikke mindst den første symfoni Fjeldstigning, der tydeligt var udformet som et stykke programmusik og godkendt på højeste sted hos Franz Liszt. Bendix orientering mod den store senromantiskemusik faldt tidsmæssigt sammen med fætteren Georg Brandes berømte forelæsningsrække Hovedstrømninger i det 19de Aarhundredes Litteratur, der generelt set var et opgør med det danske åndslivs tilbageskuende romantik, ”fædrelanderi” og præstegårdskultur, hans opgør blev indledningen til en ny, mere kølig livsanskuelse og den senere kulturradikalisme. Måske var Victor Bendix musikalske aktiviteter en beskeden pendant til Brandes store kulturhistoriske omvæltning. Der var i hvert tilfælde en del ligheder mellem de to. Hverken Victor Bendix eller Georg Brandes fik den ledende position i det etablerede kulturliv, som de rent fagligt var kvalificerede til, men ydede fra sidelinjen store indsatser. Georg Brandes som berømt kritiker og forfatter, Victor Bendix som højt anset lærer, pianist, komponist og dirigent. Begge blev sent i livet udnævnt til titulær professor. Ægteskab og seksualmoral var i høj grad til diskussion i disse kredse, hvilket bl.a. afstedkom den såkaldte sædelighedsfejde (1883-87). Dette praktiserede Victor Bendix mere i praksis end i ord med en lind strøm af udenomsægteskabelige forhold og nogle tragiske skandaler til følge. Han havde bl.a. et forhold til Edvard Brandes purunge hustru Harriet, født Salomon, som var hans klaverelev. 22 år gammel tog hun på tragisk vis livet af sig selv, og forholdet mellem Bendix og fætrene Brandes kølnedes efterfølgende."

Shore joined East India Company's service in the year 1769 at the secret political department. Shore was thereafter made the assistant to the board of revenue at Murshidabad in 1770, which provided Shore the opportunity to experience the horrors of the 1770 Famine at first hand. In the years following the famine Shore was a member of the revenue council in Calcutta and later appointed a seat at the committee of revenue by the Governor-General. Shore also served as the revenue commissioner of the districts in Dacca and Bahar. The profound knowledge that Shore acquired over the years, came in use in Cornwallis' revenue experiments, which ultimately took the shape of Permanent Settlement. Shore himself succeeded Cornwallis as the Governor of Bengal in 1793 and remained in office till 1797. In 1798 Shore was created Baron Teignmouth in the peerage of Ireland for his services. After retiring Shore became a member of the Board of Control and wrote a biography and memoir on his close friend Sir William Jones. The Memoir of the Life and Correspondences of Lord Teignmouth was compiled by his son Charles John Shore, who became the second Baron Teignmouth.
