Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. COWLES, Fleur [Edited By] Foreword by Dominick Dunne [337] pp. Harper Collins Publishers 1996 First Edition In publisher's cloth clamshell slipcase 13 1/4" x 10 1/4" This highly sought-after volume detailing one of the most influential magazines of the twentieth century is now back in print at a newly affordable price. In 1950, Fleur Cowles established what would become one of the most important and talked about magazines ever created. Critically lauded for its sharp mix of clothes, literature, art, travel, decor, theater, and humor, Flair made publishing history with its combination of eclectic editorial content and lavish production quality. Recalled as "the first magazine that became an art form," The Best of Flair is a compilation of the magazine s best content as chosen by the woman who created it. Along with its distinctive production values, Flair also features interviews and contributions from some of the most noted artists and celebrities of the past fifty years, including Lucian Freud, Jean Cocteau, Tallulah Bankhead, Saul Steinberg, Salvador Dalí, Simone de Beauvoir, Walker Evans, James Michener, Ogden Nash, Gypsy Rose Lee, Clare Boothe Luce, George Bernard Shaw, John O Hara, Margaret Mead, and Tennessee Williams. Now, more than ten years after this book was first published by Rizzoli, and more than fifty years after the magazine ceased publication, this facsimile edition offers the same ingenious bookmaking of its predecessor, including multiple gatefolds with die-cuts, booklets, and accordion folder leaflets.…

Fleur has Signed the magazine on the first page. Beecher allowed the use of a black and white reproduction of a Steinbeck-themed trompe l'oeil painting to illustrate the article "Tortilla B Flat: A Serenade to John Steinbeck Composed on the Typewriter," by Eddie Condon (also illustrated with a portrait of Steinbeck by Robert Capa). A note in Beecher's hand laid in says: "N.B. this copy autographed by Fleur Cowles is also signed by John and me-," and indeed Steinbeck has Signed above the painting and Beecher beneath it. Also laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from a Flair employee to Beecher, asking him to sign an agreement to reproduce the artwork. A 2001 letter from Steinbeck's son Thom, written to supply details about sitting for a portrait by Beecher, called the artist a family friend and that his father "maintained an abiding fascination for Beecher's work through the years.
