 | ONE Archives Receives Impressive Collection
|
Laszlo Ivanyi, 76, a Hungarian born artist & musician, has donated a majority of his works, along with transcripts of his diaries in both French
 | | Laszlo Ivanyi |
and English, to ONE Archives. Ivanyi fled to Paris in the 1940's, where he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Befriended by wealthy collectors in Parisian society for decades, Ivanyi's bio reads like a "Who's Who." These diaries will give researchers a rarely seen view into the Parisian Art world & artistic milieu of the times.
ONE Archives is deeply grateful to receive Laszlo Ivanyi's historic collection of art works and personal diaries and wishes to thank Mr. Ivanyi and his partner, Gregorie Bertier, for this priceless addition to ONE Archives' collection of queer art and history.

| Historic Discovery:
Printing Plates for ONE Magazine
| By Kyle Morgan
Before computers, the publication of art and photography required printing plates to allow reproduction of images. These printing blocks have since become prized possessions as representations of a bygone print era, as the foundation behind the creation of historic publications, and as individual works of art in their own right.
For many years, the printing blocks used in ONE publications in the 1950s and 1960s were thought to be lost to time, as so much of early historic LGBT history tragically has been. But one morning, longtime philanthropist and ONE Archives supporter Dean Hansell was looking through the items in a garage sale and came across a printing block he recognized from a ONE publication. Digging deeper, he unearthed boxes of blocks covering much of ONE Incorporated's early history. In a story of great fortune and surpassing goodwill, Dean rescued the entire collection and returned the invaluable printing blocks to ONE Archives in the name of LGBT history.
 | | Printing Plates for Spot Illustrations |
Amid the printing blocks were those used for the covers of ONE Magazine, many designed under the direction of artist Joan Corbin, a.k.a. Eve Elloree. Joan Corbin served on the editorial staff of ONE Magazine from 1953 to 1954, then as Art Director of ONE Magazine and ONE Quarterly until 1963. Utilizing a variety of styles from cartoon to abstract, her striking covers utilized elegantly simple photographs as well as complex etchings and multiple printing plates for two-color designs.
Other small and intricately designed printing blocks--spot illustrations of people, animals, landscapes, and other designs--were used to illustrate editorial content as well as to provide artistic value across all of ONE's early publications. Soon this treasure trove of original LGBT print artwork will be cataloged and made available for research with the ONE Incorporated collection. ONE Archives would like to thank Dean Hansell for this invaluable addition to LGBT history.
Remember: one person can make a huge difference preserving LGBT history, and ONE Archives relies on you to make that difference! |
