Dante's Inferno / Birk, Sandow ; Sanders, Marcus., 2004

 Item
Identifier: CC-44818-46989
Scope and Contents San Francisco Chronicle Review: Creative people who don't write sometimes enjoy a honeymoon with the press -- right up until they put pen to paper. It happened with Madonna. She used to give interviews saying what an old-fashioned girl she really was at heart, how all she'd really like to do was find a nice writer and settle down. Consequently, she barely ever saw a bad review -- until she made the mistake of writing her first book. Critics promptly saw they'd been kidding themselves all along, and they turned on her. So when word got around that the visionary California painter and book artist Sandow Birk was not just illustrating but co-writing a new adaptation of Dante's "Divine Comedy," some of us who cherish his work feared the worst. Sure, he could concoct historical canvases, sketches and propaganda posters about a bloody civil war between San Francisco and Los Angeles, as he did with "In Smog and Thunder: Historical Works From the Great War of the Californias." And OK, he...

 Item
Identifier: CC-46418-49145
Scope and Contents

In a section entitled "A Note on the Original Edition," Phillips mentions the following, "Heartening support was given by Ruth and Leo Phillips as well as the many patient collectors who bought their copies before a picture or a line was printed. Amongst those I should particularly like to mention Marvin and Ruth Sackner without those staunch encouragement the seven year trial of making the edition would have seemed so much less suprerable." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Dante's Inferno / Phillips, Tom., 1985

 Item
Identifier: CC-37693-39567
Scope and Contents This is the first edition of Dante's Inferno in which both the translation and the illustrations were done by the same person. Two representive illustrations are depicted in this record. In the image illustrating Canto III, Phillips describes the changes in his notes to the book. "Not satisfied with any of the colour trials I made in the first version of this, which depicted the dreary waters of the Styx, I cut the various proofs into strips and brought different versions into conjunction, hence the appropriate half repetition of the short text which, together with the recapitulations of the same stretch of the sombre steam, suggests the monotony of Charon's task as Ferryman. The words 'bitter boating' seemed also to echo his mocking speech."In the image that illustrates Canto V from the initial proof copy, Phillips eliminated the calligraphic text of the poem, changed the background from black to gray and pink, painted a giant phallus with balls entering the vagina, printed the...

Dante's Purgatorio / Birk, Sandow ; Sanders, Marcus., 2004

 Item
Identifier: CC-45838-48526
Scope and Contents

Following the acclaim for their innovative edition of Dante's Inferno, Sandow Birk and Marcus Sanders guide us to the next level of the afterlife in Dante's Purgatorio. The second book of Dante Alighieri's classic poem The Divine Comedy, this version of Purgatorio couples a clever literary adaptation incorporating modern urban speech and contemporary references with powerful illustrations inspired by Gustave Dore's famous engravings. Whereas Inferno was primarily situated in a city that bears a curious resemblance to modern Los Angeles, Purgatorio is set in a surreal San Francisco Bay Area, an outlandish and hopeful milieu for those who have a chance to wash their sins away. Together, the sardonic yet playful combination of text and images comprise a vivid retelling of this masterpiece. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
