A very scarce original copy of Schulze-Delitzsch's attack on Lassalle's "Herr Bastiat-Schulze von Delitzsch, der ökonomische Julian, oder: Capital und Arbeit" (1864) (see here). Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch (1808-1883) was a German jurist, member of the Prussian National Assembly, Chamber of Deputies, and the German Reichstag. He advocated free-trade, unrestricted competition, and self-help rather than state-help. In 1863 he wrote "Capitel zu einem deutschen Arbeiterkatechismus", borrowing his fundamental principles in the main from Bastiat. Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-1864), a German socialist, was the architect of the German labour movement and founder the German Workers' Association. He was the first to speak about "the iron law of wages", defining it as the minimum subsistence pay permitting survival and the raising of children. But the more his revolutionary hopes were disappointed, the more sharply he turned against the middle classes (and Schulze's theories), whose capacity to solve the social question he denied. "Herr Bastiat-Schulze" was his rather assailing reaction to Schulze's book. In 1866, only after Lassalle's death (he was mortally wounded in a duel fought over a lady he intended to marry), Schulze finally answered with his "Die Abschaffung". - - Provenance: From the library of Dr. Max Menger, with his ink stamp and calligraphed name on spine label.

No DJ as issued/Pictoral boards. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. This book accompanies an exhibition of Ruscha's work on paper organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (June 24-Sept. 26, 2004). Photos sent upon request. Bx620; 1 x 11 x 11 Inches; 256 pages; In a 1976 drawing by Ed Ruscha, the word "Promise"---spelled out in ribbon-like script---is suspended at an oblique angle against a delicate gray background and bathed in a gauzy white light. Somehow, this image perfectly sums up the hopeful feeling that success is right around the corner. Ruscha's ability to give concrete form to the inner life of words and images from popular culture has made him a rare breed of artist---a critic's darling whose work also fascinates ordinary art lovers. Cotton Puffs, Q-Tips , Smoke and Mirrors: The Drawings of Ed Ruscha collects more than 200 of Ruscha's coolly mysterious works on paper in a handsomely designed volume marred only by a hard-to-read gray typeface. The odd title comes from a remark the artist once made. He uses cotton puffs and swabs to rub gunpowder (which creates those smoky grays) or pastel into the rag paper. Author Margit Rowell emphasizes the influence of photography and film on Ruscha's visual outlook---as well as his training in graphic design and the Los Angeles "landscape" of billboards glimpsed from car windows. Rucha, who is also known for his paintings and his idiosyncratic photo books (depicting serial images of gas stations, parking lots and other banal sights) , has been working on paper since the late 1950s. Rowell tracks the various themes and styles of his drawings, while essayist Cornelia Butler adds additional art world context. Although Ruscha has been called a Pop artist and a West Coast Surrealist, Butler sees him as "an essentially Conceptualist artist who seeks to render ideas as information." She singles out his "deeply eccentric nihilism...filtered through a keen humor." This book accompanies an exhibition of Ruscha's work on paper organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (June 24-Sept. 26, 2004)
