DUCHENNE DE BOULOGNE, Guillaume (1806-1875). De l'Electrisation Localisee et de son application a la physiologie, a la pathologie et a la therapeutique. Paris: J.-B. Balliere, 1855.8vo. Half-title; numerous wood-engraved text illustrations. (Occasional minor marginal foxing). Contemporary quarter morocco, marbled boards, spine gilt (minor rubbing to extremities). FIRST EDITION. Duchenne proved electricity to be an essential tool for the study of the physiology of muscles in the body, and also a means of diagnosis. He was able to identify previously unknown diseases, distinguishing between progressive muscular atrophy, labioglossolaryngeal paralysis, progressive muscular atrophy with pseudohypertrophy, and locomotor ataxia. "Duchenne classified the electrophysiology of the entire muscular system and summed up his findings in the above work. The application of his results to pathological conditions marks him as the founder of electrotherapy" (Garrison & Morton).

MANFRED KIELNHOFER (Haslach an der Mühl, Austria, 1967)."Guardians of time".Sculpture in 3D printing, copy 54/500.Signed and titled on the base.Enclosed certificate of the artist.Measurements: 18 x 19 x 18 cm.Manfred Kielnhofer was born in Haslach an der Mühl, Austria. He is self-taught and works with different media; including painting, film, photography, installation, performance and sculpture. His work often deals with the human figure and its different forms and movements, focusing mainly on the peculiarities of human nature. He uses the human form as a tool, whether on canvas or in sculpture. The staging of the figures at major events such as the Berlin Festival of Lights is just as important to the artist as the technical perfection of the individual figures."Guardians of Time" relates to the idea that since the beginning of time mankind has had protectors, both for historical and mystical reasons. It seems that only man himself is a potential source of danger to his own existence. In his works of art, Manfred Kielnhofer deals with the natural human desire for security. His work therefore reflects a genuine exploration, consideration and discussion of the current and historical moods and sensibilities of his social environment. His works of art captivate with elaborate combinations of light and different technique reflected in the folds of the garments.
MANUEL BARBADILLO (Cazalla de la Sierra, Seville, 1929 - Malaga, 2003)."Studies".Ink on graph paper glued to card.Signed in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 22 x 34 cm; 24 x 36.5 cm (frame).On the graph paper there are several studies, reflections by the artist, with annotations that show us the artist's previous and conceptual work. In fact, in the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, there are several larger pieces that reflect the aesthetic concept that the artist expressed in this work. Examples of this are the pieces Coraina, Dione and Merata.Manuel Barbadillo began his training in the studio of José Arpa (1941), and later moved to the workshop of the sculptor Emilio García Ortiz, where he remained between 1944 and 1947. He finally completed his training at the School of Arts and Crafts between 1951 and 1953. At the same time he studied law, and on completing his studies in 1954 he exhibited for the first time at the Seville Athenaeum. He then travelled to Morocco, where he remained until 1957, and there he left figuration behind definitively to concentrate on abstract experimentation. When he moved to New York in 1959, where he remained until 1962, his work was framed within the framework of informalist abstraction, at first showing influences of abstract expressionism. However, his language soon moved in the direction of a reduction of colour, resulting in sober, monochrome works, dense in pictorial matter and with a markedly experimental character. Towards 1960 his work entered a new stage, marked by structuring and the search for an increasingly rational and balanced language. Finally, around 1963 his painting reached maturity through compositional schematisation, the elimination of matter, symmetry and the use of repetitive forms. This simplification finally led him to binary language, and from 1964 he replaced the concept of form with that of module, thus beginning the longest and most fruitful period of his production. In 1968 he was invited to take part in a course at the Centro de Cálculo de la Complutense, and that same year he took part in the Seminar on the Automatic Generation of Plastic Forms at the same centre, something that was to be a key factor in his career. From then on, Barbadillo established a close relationship with the computer, understood as a working tool. Throughout his career, Barbadillo has been a member of the Computer Arts Society and of the Artistic Council of the Gesellschaft für Computer Grafik und Computer Kunst in Munich, and has shown his work in exhibitions in Spain, Morocco, Argentina, Venezuela, the United States and Germany, as well as participating in group exhibitions all over the world. He is currently represented at the MNCA Reina Sofía, the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo and numerous public and private collections in Europe and America.
