Aleph is for Ox (book) / Moss, David ; Kline, Chris., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-57554-10000831
Scope and Contents

Moss writes, "Several years ago Iwas at a prant fair in Brooklyn and met a wonderful young artist named Chris Kline...I wondered what an alphabet book might be like using the rather eclectic set of symbols of the Paleo-Hebrew interpreted in Chris's brilliant style...I did the set of letters in black and white fleshed out somewhat into the third dimension. I told Chris what animal or object each letter originally was based on and let him do his magic. It took years to complete the book, but the result was amazing. Chris printed the whole book by hand in serigraphy in bright vibrant florescent colors. The whole is my attempt to explore, honor and memorialize in a very contemporary form this incrediibly simple but remarkably impactful invention - the Alphabet.' -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Moss writes, "The early writing systems were based on abstracting physical images...In Asia with ideograms and Egypt with hieroglyphics and cuneiform in Mesopotamia. In all these now literate societies, educated classes of scribes, writers and readers, developed to utilize the immense new power of the written word...But an equally revolutionary step in writing accurred right here [in Israel]. Early traces of this revolution were discovered in caves in the Sinai from around 1500 BCE. Someone had the brilliant idea that instead of using symbols to physically represent objects or ideas, what if the symbol just represented the initial sound of the word it depicted. It meant that instead of requiring thousands of characters to record language in written form, it could be accomplished with about twenty to thirty simple symbols! And thus the Alphabet was born.This breakthrough meant that insted of requiring years of hightly specialized study for exclusive and powerful elements of a...

All of Ted Joans and No More / Joans, Ted ; Lebel JJ., 1961

 Item
Identifier: CC-49439-70484
Scope and Contents This is the 2nd printing of this book in September 1961; it was 1st printed in July 1961. Theodore "Ted" Joans (July 4, 1928 - April 25, 2003) was an American trumpeter, jazz poet and painter. Born on a riverboat in Cairo, Illinois, Joans earned a degree in fine arts from Indiana University. He later associated with writers of the Beat Generation in Greenwich Village and San Francisco. He was a contemporary and friend of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. In the 1960s, Joans had a house in Timbuktu. He claimed to be a brother of Leroi Jones, despite the spelling difference, but this appears to be apocryphal. Joans' painting Bird Lives hangs in the De Young Museum in San Francisco. He was also the originator of the "Bird Lives" legend and graffiti in New York City after the death of Charlie Parker in March 1955. Joans invented the technique of outagraphy, in which the subject of a photograph is cut out of the image. Joans died in Vancouver, British Columbia due to complications of...
