McKee (David). Elmer, 1st edition, Dennis Dobson, 1968, colour illustrations throughout, including rear endpapers, original glazed colour illustrated boards, spine a trifle sunned, lower cover with small residue from sticker to upper outer corner, 4to (Qty: 1)A very good copy of the rare first edition of Elmer , in which David McKee's endearing multi-coloured elephant makes his very first appearance. The book went out of print quite quickly, and not until it was republished in 1989 did Elmer become the international success he is today. Although the 1989 edition appears in commerce quite readily, we have not seen another copy of the first edition at auction. The story, with its message of inclusivity, is arguably just as relevant now as when it was first published, perhaps accounting in part for its enduring popularity. The author went on to write and illustrate at least another 40 books about Elmer, a TV series was produced giving rise the the inevitable attendant range of merchandise, and Elmer is now published in more than 20 languages. More recently a musical puppet show, Elmer The Patchwork Elephant Show , has been touring Britian (in the first few months of 2019), celebrating the elephant that stands out, and embracing the message that it is always best to be yourself.

OTAKAR SCHINDLER 1923 - 1998: ADAM AND EVE IN PARADISE 1940s-50s Mixed media, drawing, oil, metal, wood, violin pegs and strings 31 x 47 x 9 cm The object Adam and Eve in Paradise has an original foundation – a drawer from the artist’s studio, demonstrating the exceptional imagination and versatility of artist Otakar Schindler, who is primarily known for his work in the theater. After the end of World War II he established the amateur theater Kytice (“Bouquet”) in Ostrava, which became the professional Petr Bezruè Theater in 1955. In 1959 it welcomed a group of graduates of Prague’s Academy of Performing Arts led by director Jan Kaèer. Over time Schindler became a sought-after stage designer not only in Ostrava, but also in Brno, Cheb, Liberec, Pilsen and Prague. In 1975 he relocated to Prague and settled there permanently, creating a successful team with Luboš Pistorius at the Realist Theater. In addition to stage design, Schindler also focused on painting. He created surprising Surrealist collages in his sets and costumes, using fragments of discarded objects found at garbage dumps and in prop departments at theaters. His most well-known stage designs were for Nezval’s Schovávaná na schodech (Petr Bezruè Theater Ostrava, 1964, dir. Kaèer), Chekhov’s Racek (The Seagull, Èinoherní klub Prague, 1975, dir. Kaèer) and Giraudoux’s Ondina (Ondine, Realist Theater Prague, 1982, dir. Pistorius). By 1968 he had contributed to 50 television productions, created 15 stage designs for puppet theater, and exhibited in many countries throughout Europe. Otakar Schindler’s place of birth – the gamekeeper’s lodge at Stará Plesná 87/91 – still stands to this day.

MIKULÁŠ MEDEK 1926 - 1974: ACTION I (EGG) 1955-1956 Egg tempera and oil on canvas 116 x 93 cm Signed lower right: "I.X.1955 - 10.II.1956 - MEDEK" Painter Mikuláš Medek occupies a leading position in Czech post-war art due to the original expression, profound meaning, and unique spirituality of his work. He also proved his artistic independence and spiritual dimension during the communist regime, which was a harsh adversary of modern art and free thought. In each of his early paintings he addresses new, deep problems that border on questions of life itself, with a style building on pre-war Surrealismthat is assisted by the extremely precise descriptiveness of the objects depicted and the narrativeaccentuating the emotional impact on the viewer, creating an imaginative space and developing the popular medieval concept of the painting-within-a-painting. He builds the composition from several seemingly independent objects connected with differing actions that he occasionally undertook with his wife, Emila Medková, and reflected the artist's physical states and psychoanalytical thoughts. His characters are set in empty, tight spaces delineated by orthogonal and transversal lines; his own style of Mannerist, puppet-like figures are executed with exact outlines. In Medek’s work, the deformation of the original concrete model is attached to feelings of feverish hallucinations, with elongated hands, expanded heads and hair stylized into flat barbs. Medek believed blue and red were the only absolute colors: “Colors are perfect when they are made out of metal – blue out of iron and silver, red out of gold.”In 1955 he started to paint his Action series from a larger series of paintings titled Naked in Thorns, which Ludmila Vachtová described the following year in an article in Tvar magazine; her text represents the first information published about Medek’s work: “Now he is concerned with expressing the conflict that arose by placing today’s man in the world, with creating a sort of modern mythology that has been constrained at times and is now permeating into symbolism, but is impressive for its sense of urgency. This symbolism is not the pretext, but the result of a new view of the most commonplace actions that are the most mechanized in our lives, ones that have become stereotyped. Because the painter has discovered conflict within them, they have the strength to become mythologies. His view can be interpreted as narrow and one-sided, but you cannot deny its right to exist. If we say humankind, world and life, we cannot exclude from this group the anxiety of mankind, anxiety from the things, situations and relationships that surround him and often bury him.”A painter, illustrator and writer born to a well-known intellectual and artistic family (grandson of the painter Antonín Slavíček, son of writer and General Rudolf Medek, and brother of Ivan Medek), Mikuláš Medek attended the State School of Graphic Design, attended Vlastimil Rada's studio and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and was a student of František Tichý and František Muzika at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. He was expelled in 1949. He participated in activities held by the Surrealists (Teige, Effenberger, Fára, Istler, Tikal) and took part in compiling art anthologies, but he was not allowed to work as a professional artist. Initially influenced by the Surrealists, he later became a leading figure of Czechoslovak Art Informel and non-figurative painting. He has created a number of installations for chapels in South Moravia (Jedovnice, Senetářov, Kotvrdovice) and the international offices of Czechoslovak Airlines (including Paris, New York, Damascus, Prague–Ruzynì)and his paintings are represented in public and private collections around the world. His work significantly overlaps with the photography work of his wife, Emila Medková. The contextual cogency, the magical power of his painterly style, and the spiritual energy emanating from Medek’s oeuvre, as well as its message to younger generations, make Medek one of the most important and most original artists not only on the Czech scene, but in the entire painting world of the mid-20th century. Medek’s work is represented in a number of Czech and international public institutions as well as in private collections.The last exhibition of the artist’s work was held at the Rudolfinum and the Auditorium of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague; the National Gallery in Prague is preparing a large Medek exhibition scheduled for next year.Drawing for the painting: Action I Egg, 1955, charcoal, packing paper, 1140 x 780 mm, Olomouc, Museum of Art, inv. no.: Km14636.Exhibited at: I.
