DRAGSTRIP GIRLOne-Sheet (27" x 41")Very Fine+ Folded American International, 1957The one sheet offered here is a great representation of the genre, mixing smoldering passion with forbidden excitement in a single image. The lurid, searing red and yellow colors serve to highlight these emotions, drawing potential viewers in inexorably. This folded poster has only light fold wear, including the three center point cross folds, a few minor scattered crimps, and a slight bleed-through from a stamp on the verso, but otherwise is an exceptionally clean copy.Following the end of World War II, Hollywood began to realize that there was a new class of moviegoers that they had yet to exploit: teenagers. Now, with increased mobility, disposable cash, and an almost insatiable desire for entertainment, the teen market has become one that Hollywood has begun to actively court. It was almost inevitable that the new teen genre would intersect with the established crime genre to create a new category of motion picture: the Juvenile Delinquent film. Remarkably, given the period, not all the JDs were male. Pictures like The Violent Years (1956) and Reform School Girl (1957) proved that girls could be just as delinquent as boys. Into this mix came Dragstrip Girl (1957), deftly mixing the JD genre with the famous - and illegal - sport of drag racing in a film about a young woman who loves speed, the thrills it brings, and the tragic consequences that result.

DUMBOPost-War Belgian (14" x 21.75")Fine+ on Linen RKO, 1947The post-war Belgian poster is really the piece to have on this title, featuring Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse, Carl, Jr. (the locomotive that pulls the circus train), and the two crows, is far superior to the one sheet. From 1947, this is from the original release of the movie in that country, as Belgium was occupied by Germany during the war, and films imported from America were banned. Prior to restoration, this poster had previous issues, including tiny tears, chipping, and fold wear. There have been sporadic touchups to all, including the top left corner, and there is a tax stamp in the lower left corner. The poster does contain handwritten notes and prices in the upper imprint area, which is not unusual.Dumbo (1941) is now considered one of Disney's classic and most beloved animated features. Based on a children's story by Helen Aberson-Mayer and Harold Pearl, tells the story of an elephant with oversized ears that enable him to fly. The movie was made to recover from the losses suffered after the box office failures of both Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). These failures were caused mainly by the severe contraction of the European market during World War II, which led to a decrease in ticket sales. Unlike its predecessors, Dumbo has a shorter running time of only 64 minutes. It was deliberately made with simplicity in mind, and the directive was to keep the production cost as low as possible. This was achieved by purposely avoiding the use of special effects work that had been used in previous features.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

LA TRAITES DES BLANCHES BY JEAN-LOUIE DEBUT DE LA FORESTFrench Newspaper Grande (47" x 73")Fine- on European Linen; Artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen Le Journal, 1899This poster on European linen with an overall appearance that is largely undiminished has had some touch-ups to previous fold wear and separations, pinholes, chipping, as well as tears to the interior. There is some paper loss in the lower vertical folds and in between the words "Le" and "Journal" in the upper left. There is also an ink stamp in the lower left, some general color softening and the linen has been trimmed into the border by approximately 1" vertically and horizontally, extending slightly into the upper printing. This intriguing poster from 1899, with Art Nouveau-inspired design by Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923), promotes Le Journal, a Paris daily newspaper published from 1892-1944. This issue is particularly infamous as it covers a chapter of author Dubut de Laforest's novel La Traite des Blanches (The White Slave Trade), a fictionalized account of an actual incident that occurred in 1880 when it was revealed that some 50 foreign - and underage - girls were taken captive and forced to work as prostitutes in the brothels of Brussels. The case drew international attention, especially when it came to light that some of those involved in the affair were members of the local police force. Steinlen's image, which brings to mind the iconic poster art of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, captures a scene from the novel inside one of the brothels as the house manager looks on derisively as three desperate girls are forced to endure their captivity and abuse. Among those who appreciate posters from this period, Steinlen's work is considered especially collectible, so make sure you don't overlook this rare beauty, as it deserves a special place in your collection.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

FUTURA 2000 (LEONARD McGURR) (N. 1955)Space Odyssey Continuance 1989 signé, titré et daté 89 au revers acrylique et peinture aérosol sur toile signed, titled and dated 89 on the reverse acrylic and spray paint on canvas 131 x 91 cm. 51 9/16 x 35 13/16 in.Footnotes:Un certificat de la Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris, pourra être obtenu, à la charge de l'acquéreur.ProvenanceCollection particulière, France Acquis auprès de celle-ci par le propriétaire actuelCette œuvre, exposée en 2005 au Conseil Régional de Basse-Normandie, a été réalisée en hommage au film culte de Stanley Kubrick 2001 A Space Odyssey qui fut d'une grande inspiration pour Futura 2000. L'artiste avait déjà été inspiré par ce film lorsqu'il réalisa, en 1988, son œuvre Kubrick Reseen.This work, exhibited in 2005 at the Conseil Régional de Basse-Normandie, was created as a tribute to Stanley Kubrick's cult film 2001 A Space Odyssey, which was a great inspiration for Futura 2000. The artist had already been inspired by the film when he produced his work Kubrick Reseen in 1988.Ephémère et sulfureux dès son origine, le graffiti est par essence un art où prime le contexte entre volonté de dégrader, libre expression, cri politique, signature, geste esthétique. Apposant de leurs sceaux leurs créations, ces « peintres en aérosol », selon l'expression de Monzon, dont les premiers graffs apparurent à Philadelphie dans les années 1960, furent révélés à New York dans les quartiers de Washington Heights, dans le Bronx, à Brooklyn, dans les années 1970. Cet art novateur explosa dans le métro, véritable terrain de jeu de ces virtuoses de la bombe. Sous les yeux encore ensommeillés des travailleurs matinaux, les rames de déflagrations de couleurs se parurent, créées avec la vitesse d'exécution qu'incombe tout art libertaire.L'affirmation d'une identité pour ces artistes clandestins, de même que l'appartenance à une mémoire clanique collective, peu à peu se meut en une ambition plastique. En 1973, le New York Magazine lance le concours du plus beau graffiti : le Street Art rejoint dès lors les galeries d'art...C'est sur le chemin de l'école (School of Visual Arts) que le jeune Leonard McGurr, se nourrit de cette nouvelle forme d'art qu'il découvre dans le métro, dont il commence à taguer les tunnels de New York à l'âge de quinze ans. Son blaze (signature) est alors adopté : Futura 2000, inspiré d'une voiture Lincoln du même nom et de la police Futura créée par Paul Renner en 1927. Il appose alors l'an 2000, car, vivant dans les années 1970, il ne pensait pas connaître l'aube d'un nouveau millénaire.Devenu le protégé de Keith Haring, qui l'aide à pousser la porte des galeries d'art new-yorkaises, le jeune prodige est découvert en 1981 à la célèbre P.S.1 lors de l'exposition devenue légendaire New York /New Wave aux côtés de Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Rammellzee, etc. L'année suivante lui est consacrée une exposition personnelle à la Fun Gallery, à l'instar de Jean-Michel Basquiat quelques mois plus tôt. Véritable icône du mouvement hip-hop, Futura 2000 participe au rayonnement du Street Art et est présent dans toutes les expositions muséales consacrées au graffiti : Tate Gallery à Londres ; Boijmans van Beuningen à Rotterdam, Hong-Kong, Tokyo. Une des œuvres que nous présentons History of Spray Painting marque le lien fort qui unissait l'artiste à Keith Haring (la dédicace est très éclairante)C'est en cette aube des années 1980 que l'artiste rencontre le groupe Clash, alors de passage à New York. Le taggeur réalise pour eux la bannière de l'un de leurs concerts et les accompagne en tournée mondiale. C'est grâce à cette expérience, dont il dira qu'elle fut l'une des plus belles de sa vie, que Futura 2000 découvre la France et Yvon Lambert. L'Europe lui ouvre ses portes. La Fondation Cartier, le Palais de Tokyo et les plus grandes institutions le réclament. Une décennie plus tard, cet homme, dont la vision et l'ambition sont à la mesure de son audace, crée son propre studio de design Futura Laboratories en 1997. Datant de 1989, Space Odyssey Continuance porte en elle la fièvre de ces années qui bouleverseront l'art contemporain. Futura 2000 explore ici un continent immatériel et diasporique où la musique est un lieu de mémoire. Le rythme du break dance et le son hip hop émanent de cette création picturale, où le mix agit comme principe structurant. Entre nervosité des lignes et ellipses furtives, son abstraction porte en elle l'héritage de l'Action Painting, que l'artiste avec frénésie embrase, dans une brume étoilée de pigments corrosifs et évanescents. Dans un geste ancestral, Futura 2000 rejoint ainsi l'art pariétal où chaque glyphe tracé était autant de preuve de vie.Ephemeral and inflammatory since inception, graffiti is an art form for which context is paramount and which inherently combines the urge to deface while expressing freely a political outcry, a signature, an aesthetic gesture. Putting their stamp on their creations, these 'aerosol artists'—to use Monzon's expression—whose first graffiti appeared in Philadelphia in the 1960s, were revealed in New York in the districts of Washington Heights, the Bronx and Brooklyn in the 1970s. The ground-breaking art thrived in the underground, a perfect playing field for the spray can virtuosos. Painted with the speed of execution that is the hallmark of libertarian art, subway wagons rushed by the bleary-eyed early-morning commuters in a flash of bright colours. These clandestine artists initially meant to assert their identity, as well as their belonging to a collective clan culture; however aesthetic ambitions would gradually emerge. In 1973, New York Magazine launched a contest to find the best graffiti: thus Street Art entered the art scene. It was on his way to school—School of Visual Arts—, in the subway, that young Leonard McGurr discovered the new art form; at the age of fifteen he too began tagging the tunnels of New York. His tag (signature) was chosen then: Futura 2000, inspired by a Lincoln car of the same name and the Futura font created by Paul Renner in 1927. He then added the year 2000, because, since he lived in the 1970s, he never thought he would see the dawn of a new millennium.The young prodigy became a protégé of Keith Haring, who helped him gain access to New York art galleries, and was discovered in 1981 at the notorious P.S.1 during the now legendary New York/New Wave exhibition, alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Rammellzee and others. The following year he had a solo exhibition at the Fun Gallery, as had Jean-Michel Basquiat a few months earlier. A true icon of the hip-hop movement, Futura 2000 has played a part in the prestige of Street Art, and is featured in all the museum exhibitions devoted to graffiti: Tate Gallery in London; Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Hong Kong and Tokyo. One of the works we offer, History of Spray Painting, shows the strong bond between the artist and Keith Haring (the dedication is very enlightening).It was at the dawn of the 1980s that the artist met the Clash; the group was visiting New York at the time. The tagger made the banner for one of their concerts and accompanied them on their world tour. Thanks to this experience —which he would say was one of the best of his life—, Futura 2000 discovered France and met Yvon Lambert. Europe opened its doors to him. The Fondation Cartier, the Palais de Tokyo and all the major institutions called on him. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ProvenanceCollection particulière, France.Collection particulière, France (acquis auprès de celle-ci). Raoul Dufy a apporté une contribution significative au monde de la mode et des textiles à travers ses collaborations avec des maisons de couture renommées. A partir de 1905, Dufy chercha à transposer depuis la peinture, son esthétique à différents supports. Il élargit alors son éventail de techniques avec une maîtrise virtuose : gravure, illustration, céramique, décors de théâtre, décorations murales, tapisserie, ou encore textile, soulignant un attrait particulier pour les arts décoratifs. A ce titre, la création textile constitua une partie importante dans sa production artistique qui fut marquée par des collaborations prestigieuses avec le célèbre couturier Paul Poiret et avec la maison de soierie Bianchini-Férier. C'est à partir de 1910 que Paul Poiret et Raoul Dufy s'associèrent et fondèrent ensemble « La petite Usine », un modeste atelier artisanal boulevard de Clichy où l'artiste réalisait l'ensemble des étapes de la création : le dessin, la gravure sur bois puis l'impression sur tissu. Cette collaboration fut un tremplin pour Dufy qui poursuivit ses créations textiles à l'échelle industrielle avec la manufacture Bianchini-Férier. Il s'exprima « Me voilà donc amené à la décoration et à la mode, non par délassement ou par amusement mais pour une expérience sérieuse. Que d'échos cette période de ma vie ne réveille-t-elle pas en moi ! Grâce à Poiret et à Bianchini-Férier, j'ai pu réaliser cette relation de l'art et de la décoration, surtout montrer que la décoration et la peinture se désaltèrent à la même source. » Ses motifs floraux aux couleurs audacieuses transposées sur des tissus imprimés, contribuèrent à la création de textiles luxueux et élégants. Le style de Dufy, reconnaissable à ses couleurs vives, ses lignes fluides et des motifs inspirés de la nature, a été particulièrement bien adapté au monde de la mode. Ses œuvres ont été intégrées dans la conception de robes, foulards et accessoires, marquant une influence artistique dans ce domaine. Son esthétique joyeuse, vibrante et sa capacité à capturer le mouvement ont ajouté une dimension artistique aux vêtements et aux textiles, faisant de lui un artiste prisé dans le contexte de la haute couture.Raoul Dufy made a significant contribution to the world of fashion and textiles through his collaborations with renowned couture houses.Starting from 1905, Dufy sought to translate his aesthetic from painting to various mediums. He expanded his range of techniques with virtuoso mastery, including engraving, illustration, ceramics, theatre set design, murals, tapestries, and textiles, emphasising a particular attraction to decorative arts. In this regard, textile creation played a significant role in his artistic production, marked by prestigious collaborations with the famous fashion designer Paul Poiret and the silk house Bianchini-Férier.It was from 1910 that Paul Poiret and Raoul Dufy partnered and together founded 'La petite Usine', a modest artisan workshop on Boulevard de Clichy where the artist carried out all stages of creation: drawing, wood engraving, and fabric printing. This collaboration served as a stepping stone for Dufy, who continued his textile creations on an industrial scale with the Bianchini-Férier manufacture. In his own words: 'So here I am led to decoration and fashion, not for relaxation or amusement, but for a serious experience. What echoes this period of my life awakens in me! Thanks to Poiret and Bianchini-Férier, I was able to realise this connection between art and decoration, especially to show that decoration and painting draw from the same source.'His bold, colourful floral motifs transposed onto printed fabrics contributed to the creation of luxurious and elegant textiles. Dufy's recognisable style, characterised by vibrant colours, fluid lines, and nature-inspired motifs, was particularly well-suited to the world of fashion. His works were integrated into the design of dresses, scarves, and accessories, marking an artistic influence in this field.His joyful, vibrant aesthetic and ability to capture movement added an artistic dimension to clothing and textiles, making him a sought-after artist in the context of haute couture.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Also inserted at the front is a one-page autograph letter, in the original envelope, to Lady [ADA] LOVELACE from Charles Wheatstone, dated [18]47, stating, "Dear Lady Lovelace, I give myself the pleasure of accepting your kind invitation for Thursday next, Yours very truly, C. Wheatstone." Augusta Ada Lovelace, Countess of Lovelace (1815-52), was a renowned English mathematician and innovator in computer science. She was also the only legitimate child of Lord and Lady Byron. Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-75) was an important scientist and inventor. See his extensive entry in DNB (which chooses to omit Ada Lovelace). FIRST EDITION of this controversial work whose author was renowned as a philosopher, chiefly on religious matters, and a free-thinking secularist. It would have found a sympathetic readership in Ada Lovelace, with whose family this copy is clearly connected, and Charles Wheatstone, but it was by no means met with universal approval, as evidenced by this scathing contemporary review by John Relly Beard, a Unitarian minister and theologian, which appeared in The British Quarterly Review in 1850: "The author ... surpassing the magicians of Egypt in dexterity, has not only imitated Divine deeds, but gone far to supersede the necessity of a creative power. Only give him his law of development, and he will transform you a crab into a monkey, and then make the monkey into a man ..." It is interesting to note that this review appeared almost a decade before the first publication of Charles Darwin's magnum opus. In January 1851, the work was also the subject of the first contribution to The Westminster Review - a radical publication Mackay actively supported - by George Eliot, a writer who finds herself rather more in sympathy with some of the book's more controversial themes, and in which, she claimed: "... we find passages of pre-eminent beauty - gems into which are absorbed the finest rays of intelligence and feeling. We believe Mr. Mackay's work is unique in its kind ..." (2)
