Description:
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1983. 443 pp, 8 1/2" H. "Constantinople, May 1908. City of the Golden Horn and the Sublime Porte; city of endless bazaars and sequestered palaces, glittering mosques and foreign compounds; ancient capital of an immense feudal autocracy teeming with different races and caught in the crosscurrents of European power struggles. (Here, Englishman Robert Markham who stood by helplessly as his Armenian fiance was raped and murdered twelve years before) sets out on his personal mission of redemption (as) the Turkish Third Army is on the verge of revolt, and throughout the Empire Armenians, Jews, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Turks are uniting to confront the existing regime. (T)akes us into the heart of Moslem culture and on the equally perilous journey to the dark side of one man's soul." Book has a small area of soiling at the fore-edge. Dust jacket has two very small edge tears, minor browning on the flap-folds, light edge wrinkling at the top edge and light…

Description:
Woodstock, New York: Elephant's Eye / Overlook Press, 1998. 160 pp, 4to (12" H). Profusely illustrated with b&w and color photographs. "(T)he first comprehensive exploration of Blumenfeld's work, (this book) forms a uniquely detailed study of her development. Dividing her sculpture into eight themed chapters, it concentrates on the major ideas and technical concerns that have preoccupied the artist from the beginning: Two Sides of a Woman; Creation; Metamorphosis; Options; Shadow Figures; Dreams; Souls; and, finally, Mythology. Early and recent works are illustrated side by side, highlighting the aesthetic and conceptual growth which has earned her respect from critics and collectors throughout Europe and the United States. (Upson's) text illuminates Blumenfeld's intense working methods and reveals how her life - divided between Italy, where she works, England, where she now lives, and the United States, where she was born - contributes to her creativity. Each chapter…
