francisco jose de:  (1746-1828) spanish painter. goya is considered the most important spanish painter of the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries and is regarded as the last of the old masters and the first of the moderns. a precursor of the expressionism. his masterpiece portrayal of a naked woman, la maja desnuda (\"the naked maja\"), now in the museo del prado in madrid, was a remarkably daring nude for the time, renowned for the unashamed gaze of the model towards the viewer without negative connotations. an exceptionally rare l.s., ` fran [cis] co de goya´, three pages, 4to, bordeaux, 30 th november 1824, to the duchess of san fernando, in spanish.  goya apologies for his hasty departure from paris preventing him from saying goodbye to her himself, stating in part ` cuando salí de paris para venir a esta [ciudad], dispuse atropelladamente mi viaje; el tiempo urgía, me hallaba sin dinero, y admití la oferta de unos amigos que me anticiparon los gastos del camino\u2026´   (  translation: ` when i left paris to come to this [city] , i hastily organized my trip; time was urgent, i was without money, and i accepted the offer of some friends who anticipated the expenses of the trip\u2026\") goya is still not sure about his near future and explains that his has requested to the king of spain an extension of his permission to leave his court painter obligations, saying ` aqui estoy, sin saber lo que debo hacer de mi.   he pedido una prórroga, siquiera para poder pasar el invierno al calor de la chimenea, y no se si s  [u] m [ajestad] tendrá a bien de concedérmela\u2026´   (  translation: \" here i am, not knowing what i should make of myself. i have asked for an extension, at least that i can spend the winter in the warmth before a fireplace, and i don't know if h [is] m [ajesty] will be good enough to grant it to me\u2026\") further again, goya explains in full detail what the present he has sent to his correspondent is, being some drafts, drawings and figurines of three dwarfs, stating in part ` me tomo la libertad de remitir a v.e. esos tres comisionados , a quienes doy el encargo especial de asegurarla cuan agradecido estoy a la memoria que conserva de mi, y cuanto deseo complacerla y servirla.   son tres enanos que se presentaron en la feria de burdeos dos meses hace, y me pareció conveniente sacar un tanteo de sus caras y sus figurillas. el de los pantaloncitos tiene 18 pulgadas, de los otros dos (que son marido y mujer) ella tiene 21 pulgadas y el esposo 20.   celebraré que cumplan su comisión, según los deseos del invalido que los envia´  (translation: ` i take the liberty of sending to y.e. those three commissioners [referring to his three dwarfs figurines] , to whom i give the special charge of assuring you how grateful i am to the memory you keep of me, and how much i wish to please and serve you. they are three dwarfs who appeared at the bordeaux fair two months ago, and i thought it convenient to make a test of their faces and their figurines. the one with the short trousers is 18 inches, and the other two (who are husband and wife) she is 21 inches and the husband is 20. i will celebrate that they fulfil their commission, according to the wishes of the invalid who sends them\" [goya refers here to himself]) goya has a lengthy list of important portraits paintings of dwarfs. an exceptional document, with very interesting content related to goya´s last years, short after his arrival to france, and referring to his work on three dwarves he met at a fair in bordeaux. a letter in very fine condition. vg   \n    \n  goya became a court painter to the spanish crown in 1786 and this early part of his career is marked by portraits of the spanish aristocracy. in 1793 an illness left him deaf, after which his work became progressively darker. in 1799 goya became the first court painter, the highest rank for a spanish court painter, under king charles iv of spain.   \n  during the peninsular war and napoleon´s invasion of spain, goya remained in madrid, and his series of paintings  disasters of war , or his painting the second of may 1808 , show how much this war affected him deeply, fearing for his country´s fate. he also painted important portraits of the royal spanish family and of lord wellington.  \n  his late period is marked by the black paintings, on the plaster walls of his own house \"la quinta del sordo\" (\"the house of the deaf man\") where disillusioned by political and religious corruption, and by social developments in spain, he lived near isolation. he also painted dwarves, and persons with insanity or in mental asylums, as well as themes related with witches and fantastical creatures.  \n    \n  goya abandoned spain in 1824, the year of the present letter, to retire to the french city of bordeaux from where the present letter is written. he was accompanied by his maid and companion leocadia weiss, 42 years younger than him, although it remains unclear if she was or not his lover.  \n  it was at that time and in bordeaux where goya completed his well-known series of paintings  la tauromaquia, depicting bullfighting scenes.   \n   \n  goya died and was buried in bordeaux, but was later re-interred in the royal hermitage of san antonio de la florida in madrid. famously, the skull was missing, and the spanish consul to bordeaux reported so to his superiors in madrid, who wired back \"  send goya, with or without head\".  \n    \n  the present letter is most probably in the hand of leandro fernández de moratín (1760-1828) spanish dramatist, poet, and translator of works of moliere and shakespeare into spanish. goya made his friend´s portrait in his late years in bordeaux. fernandez de moratin lived his late years in exile in france and died in paris only two months after goya passed away in bordeaux.   \n    \n  the present letter is written to maria luisa of bourbon and villabriga (1783-1846) duchess of san fernando de quiroga. she was directly related to several kings of spain, being the grand-daughter of philip v, the niece of charles iii, and cousin of charles iv. maria luisa and her husband, first duke of san fernando, went into exile in 1823 to paris."},"estimateMax":80000,"lotNumber":"842","title":{"es":"goya francisco jose de:

salvador:  (1904-1989) spanish surrealist artist. a remarkable illustrated autograph manuscript signed, salvador dali , five pages (separate leaves), large folio (16 x 17\u201d, 40 x 42.5 cm), n.p., 1953, in a singular language based on french interspersed with hispanisms and other words phonetically reproducing the catalan accent. dali\u2019s manuscript is entitled mes secrets sinematographiques ( \u2018my cinematic secrets\u2019 ) and was originally published in the review la parisienne in february 1954 in an adaptation by michel deon who normalized dali\u2019s deviant spelling and syntax. the manuscript in its original form, with important variations, therefore reveals the delirious orality of the dalian text, the artist first affirming the conviction of his genius in cinematographic art by recalling the importance of his first two films, un chien andalou and l\u2019age d\u2019or , and by demeaning the role of the filmmaker luis bunuel in their realisation, further unveiling his film project la brouette de flesh and describing the delirious visions and hallucinations he intends to put into images, in part, \u2018il i ha peu près une semaine que ge viens de découbrir que dans ma vie ge suis en tout en retard environ de 12 ans, cinéma i compris, il i a 11 ans que ge progète de faire un film intégrallement totalitairement cent pour cent hiper dali, donc cela veut dire que vraisenbleblement ce film se tournera infin, l'ané prochaine - ge suis le contraire du verger et du lu de la fontaine comme que dans ma vie, et déjà dans mon adolescence ge réalisse tan de chosses sensationelles \u2026.à 27 ans j'arrivai à paris et ge créé avec buñuel 2 films qui resteron historiques le chien andalou et l'âge d'or. dernièrement buñuel a faid tout seul d'autres films me rendan ainsi l'inmense service de que tout le monde puisse enfin savoir à qui apartené le côté génial et le côté primaire dans le chien andalu et l'âge d'or\u2026\u2026.por qu'un film soit prodigieux la première des chosses c'et que l'on puisse croire au prodige que l'on vous montre, pour cela avant tout autre chosse il faut en finir avec le répugnant ritme cinématographique, cete conventionelle et anuyuesse [ennuyeuse] rétorique du mouvement de la caméra - même dans lé plus cumun mélodrame coment croire à l'asasin, si la caméra le suis en travelin partout même dans lé lavabo où il va laver le sang de ses mains?.........mon prochain film sera exactement le contraire d'un film expérimental de vangarde et surtout de ce que l'on apelle aujurd'hui \u201ccréatif\u201d sinonime de l'imitation servile de tous les lieux comuns du triste art moderne. mon film sera une vrai istoire d'une feme paranoyaque amureusse d'une bruète qui succesivement se revêt de tous les atributs de la persone aimé, le cadabre de la quelle avais servi pour moayen de transport ; jusqu'à s'incarné à nouveau en elle, la bruètte devien de chair et c'et pour cela que mon film s'apellera la bruètte de chair. tout espectateur rafiné ou hutre moayen sera forcé de participer au délire de ma fétichiste, car il s'agit d'un cas rigureussement vrai, et cera raconté, come aucune documentaire n'est capable de le réalissé\u2026..   ainssi ge peut déjà asurer à mes lecteurs que dans mon film il verron avec toute la minutie des mouvements lents se dévelopent dans la plus rigu­reusse euritmie arcangélique, l'un après l'autre 5 cignes blancs explosan. les signes seron trufés de pomes grenades elles aussi munis d'une charge explosive adécuate, de façont que quand on aura pu observé avec minuci les derniers entre-déchirements des entrailles des cignes, se produiront les explosions des pomes grenades, de sorte que probablement tel que nous avons déjà expérimenté les grains de la pome grenade progetés à la périférie du décartelage anatomique, parvenan à causse de leur petite taille par les intertices jusqu'aux plumes en suspension, orteron cellesci, tell que l'on peut rêvé et surtout rêvassé, doit se produire entre les cor­puscules de lumière (graines de pome grenade et ondes lumineusses représentés por les blanchisimes arcangéliques plumes du signe). - de sorte que les corpuscules dans la dite expérience auron la corporaïté de mantegne et les plumes le flue qui fit fameux le peintre eugène carrière. aussi on pourra voir une escène, représentan la fontaine de trevi à rome, les fenêtres s'ouvran et 6 rinocéros tomben à l'eau, à chaque chute de rinocéros un paraplui noir s'oubre émerjan de l'eau de la fontaine\u2026\u2026.dans un'autre oportunité 100 ziganes españols tueron et dépèceron jusqu'à ne lessé que son esquelette pelé, un éléfant dans une rue de madrid (transposan ainsi une fameuse scène africaine que g'é lu dans un libre). à un moment doné qu'oùs apéressent les côtes du paquiderme, deux ziganes (lesquels malgré leur frénési sauvage n'arrêten pas un instin de chanter du canté hondo pénétren à l'intérieur pour atraper les viscères meilleures, quer, rognongs

since i\u2019ve been planning to make a film entirely totally one hundred percent hyper dali, so that means that this film will probably end up being shot next year \u2013 i am the opposite of the orchard and the lu de la fontaine as in my life, and already in my adolescence i did so many sensational things\u2026\u2026at 27 i arrived in paris and i created with bunuel 2 films that will remain historic, le chien andalou and l'âge d'or. lately bunuel has made other films on his own, so that everyone can finally know to whom belonged the brilliant side and the primary side in le chien andalou and l\u2019age d\u2019or\u2026\u2026for a film to be prodigious, the first thing is for people to be able to believe in the prodigy that is shown to you, for that, before anything else, it is necessary to put an end to the repugnant cinematographic rhythm, this conventional and boring retort of the movement of the camera \u2013 even in the most common melodrama how to believe in the assassin, if the camera follows him in travelling everywhere, even in the sink where he will wash the blood from his hands?.......my next film will be the exact opposite of an experimental vanguard film and above all of what we call today \u201ccreative\u201d if not the servile imitation of all the commonplaces of sad modern art. my film will be a true story of a paranoid woman in love with a brute who successively takes on all the attributes of the loved one, the corpse of which had served as a means of transport; until it is embodied again in herm the   bruètte becomes flesh and that is why my film will be called la bruètte de flesh. any refined viewer or moayan oyster will be forced to participate in my fetishist\u2019s delirium, for this is a strictly true case, and it will be told, as no documentary is capable of realising it\u2026\u2026thus i can already assure my readers that in my film he will see with all the meticulousness of the slow movements developing in the most rigorous archangelic euritimia, one after the other 5 white swans exploding. the signs will be riddled with pomegranates, also equipped with an adequate explosive charge, so that when we have been able to carefully observe the last tearings of the entrails of the swans, the explosions of the pomegranates will occur, probably such that we have already experienced the grains of the pomegranate projected at the periphery of the of the anatomical dismemberment, reaching because of their small size through the interstices to the feathers in suspension, orterton these, such as one can dream and above all daydream. must occur between the corpuscles of light (pomegranate seeds and light waves represented by the archangelic feathers of the sign) \u2013 so that the corpuscles in the said experiment will have the corporality of montaigne and the feathers the flue which made famous the painter eugene carriere. also we will be able to see a scene, representing the trevi fountain in rome, the windows open and 6 rhinoceros fall into the water, with each fall of rhinoceros a black umbrella emerges from the water of the fountain\u2026..in another opportunity, 100 spanish ziganes will kill and dismember until only their bare skeleton is left, an elephant in a street in madrid (thus transposing a famous african scene that i read in a book). at a given moment when the ribs of the paquiderm appear, two ziganes (who, despite their savage frenzy, do not stop an instinct to sing cante hondo, penetrate inside to catch the best viscera, quer, rognongs etc.\u2019  ) in the left

(and) \u2026..commercialised by him under the name clair de lune, it was produced successively in germany under the name mondschein and in england under that of moonlight glass. a sample of this shade can be seen in the decorative arts museum\u2026\u2026marbled glasses with purple and bluish colours disclose the presence of gold. these marbling are yellowish when seen by reflection and red or pink by refraction\u2026..these colours, interesting from the point of view of techniques, are not less interesting as regards decoration for the resources they offer the artist. unfortunately, in considering the industrial use only, this procedure does not seem very practical, its effect being too variable\u2026..it still requires some spendings of imagination to create interesting subjects out of their strange shapes\u2026..the exhibitor also presents some tinted glasses containing gold and platinum sheets introduced in the glass in order to serve as foreground to enamels\u2026..all the exhibitors decorations are handmade\u2026\u2026the vivid desire to create\u2026.enamels on glass, a production with a really modern and french character, has led the exhibitor to research the colours that neither the damas or venise enamellers, nor the german painters have used in their productions, some reds and blues for example, some blacks, yellows and greens, some purples, pinks and violets, and most of all half tones, fine and broken shades, greys, flesh and ivory tones. their judicious use, without dashing the decoration of the glass, can add to it a certain piquant\u2026..diverse appropriateness between the decoration and the objects' destination had led galle to research other translucent enamels than the old and magnificent blue derived from cobalt. some objects having to represent the decorations by refraction as well as by reflection, it became necessary to enlarge the enamel palette in a sense contrary to opacity\u2026..emile galle pays the greatest attention to the composition of the drawings intended to be executed in touret engraving. he never uses the fluor hydric acid engraving. it can be no use to him in the artistic effects he is searching for\u2026..' within the draft galle details over eighty glass objects that he is presenting at the exposition including vases, scent bottles, bowls, tankards, goblets, cornets, a clock (made for the queen of italy), jugs, wine glasses etc. a manuscript of fascinating content and accompanied by a vintage unsigned 5 x 8.5 cabinet photograph, the albumen print by otto wegener of paris depicting galle in a head and shoulders pose and with the photographer's imprint to the lower mount. some light overall age wear and a few creases and small tears (most noticeable to the left edge of the title page). g to vg, 2"},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"859","title":{"es":"galle emile: (1846-1904)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/31180/lot/125425/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:20:46.363Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,000 -

held for a while an epistolary relationship with voltaire, who published several articles in formey´s journal  l´abeille du parnasse .   \n  formey was best known for his work  anti-emile, which

that the empires rise if government allows enlightened self-interest to flourish. this theme, jefferson believed, represented an excellent summary of the enlightenment-based principles upon which the u.s. was founded. however, jefferson insisted that his translation be published only for certain readers, due to the book's controversial religious content. jefferson was preparing to make a bid for the presidency of the united states in 1800; he was worried his federalist opponents would attack him as an atheist, if it were known he translated volney's supposedly heretical book. according to the evidence discovered, jefferson translated the invocation plus the first 20 chapters of the 1802 paris edition of volney's  ruins . these first 20 chapters represent a review of human history from the point of view of a post-enlightenment philosopher. presumably, jefferson then became too occupied with the presidential campaign and didn't have time to finish the last four chapters of the book. volney concludes the book with a call for an absolute separation of church and state"},"estimateMax":300,"lotNumber":"911","title":{"es":"volney count of: (1757-1820)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/31180/lot/125477/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":200,"soldPrice":200,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:20:52.829Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac200 -

- granted; but they would have stated a case on which the courts had not then given a decision\u2026..more important to them personally, they would have taken some of the heat off hollywood\u2026..in a certain grim sense let us admit that the hollywood ten got what was coming to them. in a critical moment they lacked the courage to stand up and be counted. would the rest of us, faced with the same problem, have a clearer courage? let us have a little justice. these ten men were not convicted of being communists; they were convicted, essentially, of not being heroes. but in hollywood you don't learn to be a hero. you learn to be expedient - - or you get the hell out. and the dilemma of the expedient man is that he can never be sure whose throat he is cutting. it may be his own' . a lucid letter written in the wake of one of the most controversial moments in the history of hollywood, resulting in the imprisonment of the hollywood ten, including dalton trumbo and edward dmytryk, who defied the house un-american activities committee. with a few annotations etc. made in preparation for publication. vg"},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"1015","title":{"es":"chandler raymond: (1888-1959)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/31180/lot/125581/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":2800,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:21:06.541Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 -

became a new york institution covering theatre, movies, politics and art.  \n   \n  in january 1954 ernest and mary hemingway were on safari in africa when the novelist chartered a sightseeing flight over the belgian congo as a christmas present to his wife. the plane made an emergency landing and a report printed in the  new york times at the end of january declared the cause of the crash in the blue and silver single-engine cessna to have been a result of the pilot having to dive at low altitude to avoid hitting a flying flock of ibises - jungle birds large enough to smash the canopy of the aircraft. the article continued '  mr. hemingway said that to miss the ibises the plane had to land either on a sandpit where six crocodiles lay basking in the sun or on an elephant track through thick scrub. mr. marsh chose the scrub and landed the plane with minor damage. they spent saturday night around a camp fire surrounded by the elephant herd and caught a ride yesterday morning in a launch filled with tourists back to butiaba on lake albert. when the second plane ground-looped and caught fire mr. hemingway said he butted open the rear door and scrambled out. his wife and the pilot also escaped, but all their luggage was destroyed. even when the first crash stranded them overnight in the jungle, mr. hemingway said he was not worried. \"we had emergency goods, but were short on water, \" he said. \"we took turns going to the river, but the elephants were very stuffy about it. there were a lot of hippos and crocs wandering around the river bank.\"'  \n  hemingway's two plane crashes had brought about worldwide press coverage, including reports of his death, and whilst spending two weeks recuperating the writer read his erroneous obituaries. hemingway's biographer, james mellow, wrote that the novelist 'had coveted the nobel prize', which he received in october 1954, but that 'there must have been a lingering suspicion in hemingway's mind that his obituary notices had played a part in the academy's decision'. still suffering from pain from the african accidents, hemingway decided against travelling to stockholm to be presented with the nobel

gabor straus, in german, incorporating two lines of calculations.  einstein announces 'ich stimme mit der meinung, die sie in ihrem letzten briefe geaussert haben, nicht uberein. es liegt eben doch in der natur der suche, dass man verlangen muss, dass alle tensoren, die durch kontraktion von\u2026.   gewonnen werden konnen verschwinden'  (translation: 'i do not agree with the opinion you expressed in your last letter. it is precisely in the nature of research that one must demand that all the tensors that can be produced by means of the\u2026.contraction disappear' ) and continues to explain, 'ich bin davon uberzeugt, dass man dies verlangen muss, trotzdem es nun sehr unwahrscheinlich geworden ist, dass es drei zusatzliche identitaten gibt.   wenn man kompatible gleichungen im sinne der fortsetzbarkeit einer jeden schnittlosung verlangt, so gibt es mindestens drei formal gleichberechtgte am variationssystemen gewahrbare, also im gewohnlichen sinne kompatible gleichungssysteme, dessen jedes weniger naturlich ist als das starke system, und zwischen denen eine wahl in vernunftiger weise nicht getroffen werden kann. wenn das starke system so wenig losungen haben sollte, dass die allgemeine losung durch eine endliche zahl von zahlenparametern bestimmt ist, dann kame das starke system als physikalische theorie naturlich nicht in betracht. dann aber ware ich uberzeugt, dass die theorie des nicht symmetrischen feldes uberhaupt aufgeben werden musste. wenn aber die mannigfaltigkeit der losungen des starken systems nicht in solcher weise beschrankt ist, dann ist die theorie nach meiner ansicht sehr aussichtsreich.   denn es ist plausibel, dass das thatreichliche feldgesetz in seinen losungen starker eingeschrankt ist, als es z. b. durch ein hamilton-prinzip erreichbar ist'  (translation: 'i am convinced that this should be required, even though it has now become very unlikely that there are three additional identities. if one demands compatible equations in the sense of a possibility of continuity of each cutting solution, then there are at least three formally equal systems of equations perceivable in the variation system, i.e. compatible in the usual sense, each of which is less natural than the strong system, and between which a choice cannot be made in a reasonable way. if the strong system should have so few solutions that the general solution is determined by a finite number of numerical parameters, then the strong system would of course not come into consideration as a physical theory. but then i would be convinced that the theory of the non-symmetrical field had to be abandoned altogether. but if the variety of the solutions of the strong system is not limited in this way, then the theory is, in my opinion, very promising.   for it is plausible that the actual law of the field is more severely restricted in its solutions than it is, e.g. b. is achievable by a hamilton principle  ) before concluding 'dies ist durch die quanten-thatsachen sehr recht gelegt, die eben zeigen, dass die wahl der \"anfangsbedingungen\" weitgehend eingeschrankt sein muss, was bei einem vollstandig durch ein variationsprinzip bestimmten gleichungssystem nicht der fall ist, wo eine erhebliche zahl von willkurlichen funktionen von drei variablen (fur die \"schnittlosung\") frei bleibt.   das eigentliche problem liegt also darin, die mannigfaltigkeit der losungen des starken systems herauszufinden, hierein habe ich bis jetzt keinen erfolg gehabt'  (translation: 'this is very well justified by the quantum facts, which show precisely that the choice of \u201cinitial conditions\u201d must be largely restricted, which is not the case for a system of equations completely determined by a variational principle, where a considerable number of arbitrary functions of three variables (for the \u201cintersection solution\u201d) remains free. so the real problem lies in finding out the multiplicity of the solutions of the strong system, in which i have not had any success up to now' ).  in a postscript, in which einstein incorporates his calculations, the physicist states 'in der neuen auflage des buchleins, die bald herauskommt, ist der schnitzer berichtigt. ich habe mirs aber doch nicht nehmen lassen, zu erwahnen, dass sie den fehler entdeckt haben.   er lasst sich um einfachsten so charakterisieren (  his two lines of calculations inserted at this point ) bei dem andern \"beweis\" ist es ganz entspechend' (translation: 'in the new edition of the little book, which will be published soon, the blunder has been corrected. but i couldn't resist mentioning that it was you who discovered the error. it can be characterised in the simplest way (his two lines of calculations inserted at this point) in the case of the other 'proof', everything matches' ). a letter of good association and fine scientific content. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg  \n   ernst gabor straus (1922-1983) german-american mathematician, a close associate of einstein who collaborated with the physicist on their early work on relativity.   \n   after publishing his papers on special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1916), albert einstein conducted research on quantum physics before working on the generalisation of the relativistic theory of gravitation. einstein attempted to generalise his theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism as aspects of a single entity. in 1950, he described his 'unified field theory' in an article entitled  on the generalised theory of gravitation . although he was lauded for this work, his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. notably, einstein's unification project did not accommodate the strong and weak nuclear forces, neither of which was well understood until many years after his death. although mainstream physics long ignored einstein's approaches to unification, his work has motivated modern quests for a theory of everything."},"estimateMax":35000,"lotNumber":"1098","title":{"es":"einstein albert:
