Description:
New York: Politics Publishing Co, 1946. Magazine. Stapled wraps, 8.5 x 11 inches. Lightly worn, staples rusted. Near-fine.. A bright copy of this uncommon publication of Simone Weil's (1909-1943) essay "Factory Work." During the years 1934-1935 ("hard and bitter years of economic crisis" in France), Weil set out to experience and document the "proletarian condition" of France's laborers in the factories of suburban Paris. As a result of her experiences Weil concluded that "our factories have become festering grounds of evil, and the evils of the factories must be corrected." Weil's essay records her appeal for the good over the useful, the qualitative over the quantitative, goodness over well-being-in sum, for a fundamental purpose over mere utilitarian function. Dwight Macdonald (1906-1982) published Weil's essay in the December 1946 issue of politics, a magazine he founded in 1944 and which began as a monthly publication until its fourth year, after which it ran as a quarterly. Macdonald launched…

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
