gracious letter, in which you so kindly and definitively assure me of the acceptance of my opera \"rienzi\" for the court theatre in dresden, and if i may be permitted, setting aside all other considerations that make your praised assurance appear to me as a true blessing, to mention above all the fact that i may anticipate the premiere of my most cherished work precisely in the capital of

and musical production of my opera necessitates an expenditure that not all stages can meet to the degree required for a premiere of my \"rienzi\". since your excellency has given me the truly flattering assurance that the decision to accept my opera was made following a thorough examination of its libretto and score, i have good reason to believe that you have fully familiarised yourself with the scenic demands of the subject, and since you nevertheless promised to accept it, this most fortunate circumstance assures me of your noble intention to stage my \"rienzi\" with all the necessary, not inconsiderable, expense´ . wagner closes his letter in a highly obsequious, emotionally intense, and strategically deferential manner, writing ´in the face of the magnanimity expressed in these sentiments, it seems to me utterly inadequate should i attempt to pour out the fiery gratitude that fills me in words and phrases. it remains for me, as is fitting, to offer nothing but the simple assurance of the same, as well as the expression of my most ardent wish that the meagre worth of my work may succeed in winning for your excellency as much applause as might seem sufficient to

(1786\u20131863) prussian-born aristocrat who served as the general director of the royal court theatre in dresden for nearly four decades (1824\u201362). before receiving this letter, wagner was largely an unknown, struggling composer living in poverty near paris.  lüttichau  held immense power over wagner's career. by greenlighting  rienzi   for its world premiere\u2014and later hiring wagner as the royal kapellmeister (conductor) in dresden\u2014 lüttichau  effectively launched wagner into the international spotlight.   \n  despite this their relationship later deteriorated. wagner\u2019s fiery personality, radical artistic demands, and aggressive push to reform the dresden theatre constantly clashed with  lüttichau's   rigid administrative boundaries. the professional relationship shattered entirely in 1849 when wagner participated in the socialist may uprising in dresden, forcing the composer to flee the country as a wanted political revolutionary.  \n rienzi, der letzte der tribunen  was  composed by wagner between july 1838 and november 1840 and received its premiere on 20th october 1842, at the newly built dresden court theatre. t he production was a triumphant, life-altering hit for wagner, transforming him from an impoverished, unknown artist into germany's most promising young composer. the original performance spanned an astonishing six hours including intermissions. worried that the audience would walk out, wagner famously stopped the theatre clock over the stage. instead of leaving, the spellbound crowd stayed until the end and erupted into massive ovations.  \n the present letter is mentioned by german music historian, critic, and librarian wilhelm altmann (1862-1951) in his seminal 1905 book r  ichard wagner´s briefe nach

the master\u2019s own tastes may be, the organisers of the major symphonic concerts could have dedicated one of them to mr balakirev and another to glinka. this applies above all to the organisers of the russian concerts featuring mr rimsky-korsakov, mr glazunov and others as conductors. to the shame of our musical circles, neither the 50th anniversary of glinka\u2019s death nor the 70th of balakirev\u2019s was commemorated. we remember only ourselves: glazunov has not yet finished celebrating his jubilee, and balakirev\u2019s name is entirely neglected by the artists of the modern school. be that as it may; history will pass its judgement´ ). lyapunov also offers his opinions on other composers, ´vous demandez mon opinion à propos des oeuvres russes dont vous venez de faire connassance. parmi les compositeurs que vous me nommez ce n´est que tchérépnine qui est vraiment russe par se naissance. cela peut vous expliquer un peu pourquoi vous ne trouvez pas de traditions des \"cinq\" ni de style national dans leurs oeuvres. on pourrait pourtant espérer à y voir du talent et de l´originalité ce que j´ai vainement cherché tchérépnine qui n´est pas de tout russe dans ses compositions me semble avoir un talent assez mediocre. medtner me parait être tout à fait privé de talent; il ne fait que chercher des extravagances sans aucun sens. originalité tirée par les cheveux. si vous vous interessez de la jeune musique russe je vais vous nommer deux jeunes artistes doués de talent et dont les compositions portent plutôt l´influence de l´école de balakirew et sont parfaitement differentes de celles dont vous venez de faire la connaissance. ce sont mrs. karpow et tiniakow. leurs oeuvres sont publiées par mr. zimmermann à leipzig. je vous recommande surtout un prélude, une rêverie, un nocturne et 2me valse de karpow´ (translation: ´you ask my opinion regarding the russian works with which you have just become acquainted. among the composers you have named, only tcherepnin is truly russian by birth. this may go some way towards explaining why you find neither the traditions of \u2018the five\u2019 nor a national style in their works. one might nevertheless hope to find talent and originality in them\u2014something i have sought in vain. tcherepnin, whose compositions are by no means entirely russian in character, strikes me as having rather mediocre talent. medtner seems to me to be entirely devoid of talent; he merely seeks out senseless extravagances. his so-called originality is far-fetched. if you are interested in contemporary russian music, i shall mention two young, talented artists whose compositions bear the influence of the balakirev school and are quite different from those you have just become acquainted with. they are messrs karpov and tiniakov. their works are published by mr zimmermann in leipzig. i particularly recommend a prelude, a rêverie, a nocturne and karpov\u2019s second waltz´ ). a letter of excellent musical content. vg \n josef hofmann (1876-1957) polish-american pianist and composer, one of the outstanding keyboard virtuosos of his generation and the only private pupil of anton rubinstein. a celebrated child prodigy, hofmann enjoyed an international career lasting more than half a century and later served as director of the curtis institute of music in philadelphia. in 1907 he performed lyapunov's piano concerto no. 1 in e-flat minor, op. 4, the work referred to in the present letter, at sergei diaghilev's historic series of russian concerts in paris.  \n mily balakirev (1837-1910) russian composer, pianist and conductor, the influential leader of the nationalist circle of composers known as 'the five', comprising balakirev, césar cui, modest mussorgsky, nikolai rimsky-korsakov and alexander borodin. lyapunov became one of balakirev's closest musical disciples and friends and remained devoted to his aesthetic ideals. tamara , completed in 1882, is balakirev's celebrated symphonic poem inspired by mikhail lermontov's ballad of the legendary georgian queen tamar; his incidental music to shakespeare's king lear , begun in the late 1850s and subsequently revised, and his first symphony, completed after a lengthy gestation, were among the substantial works which lyapunov evidently believed deserved greater recognition in france.  \n alexander glazunov (1865-1936) russian composer, conductor and teacher, a pupil of rimsky-korsakov and one of the leading figures of the later russian romantic school. in 1905 he became director of the saint petersburg conservatory. the '25th anniversary' mentioned by lyapunov celebrated twenty-five years of glazunov's career as a composer, which had begun spectacularly with the premiere of his first symphony in 1882, when he was just sixteen.  \n mikhail glinka (1804-1857) russian composer generally regarded as the founder of the russian nationalist school of classical music and a profound influence upon balakirev and 'the five'. his operas a life for the tsar (1836) and ruslan and lyudmila (1842), together with such orchestral works as kamarinskaya , provided important models for succeeding generations of russian composers. the present letter was written in 1907, the fiftieth anniversary of glinka's death, whose inadequate commemoration lyapunov deplores.  \n nikolai rimsky-korsakov (1844-1908) russian composer and conductor, a member of 'the five' and one of the supreme masters of orchestration. professor of composition at the saint petersburg conservatory from 1871, he exerted enormous influence upon the succeeding generation of russian composers. rimsky-korsakov participated in diaghilev's concerts historiques russes at the paris opéra in may 1907, conducting music from his operas christmas eve and the snow maiden .  \n nikolai tcherepnin (1873-1945) russian composer, conductor and teacher, a pupil of rimsky-korsakov at the saint petersburg conservatory. despite lyapunov's decidedly lukewarm assessment of his abilities in the present letter, tcherepnin subsequently became closely associated with sergei diaghilev, conducting during the first paris season of the ballets russes and composing the score for le pavillon d'armide (1909), as well as narcisse et echo (1911). he was the father of the composer alexander tcherepnin.  \n nikolai medtner (1880-1951) russian composer and virtuoso pianist, a younger contemporary of rachmaninoff and scriabin who became particularly celebrated for his piano music, including fourteen sonatas, three piano concertos and his distinctive skazki ('fairy tales'). a graduate of the moscow conservatory, where he won the gold medal for piano in 1900, medtner pursued an essentially romantic and classically disciplined musical language throughout his career. lyapunov's extraordinary assertion here that medtner was 'entirely devoid of talent' stands in striking contrast to the esteem in which he was held by many contemporaries, most notably his friend rachmaninoff.  \n mikhail pavlovich karpov (fl. early 20th century) russian composer whose surviving works are principally romantic piano miniatures. karpov's early compositions were published by julius heinrich zimmermann of leipzig from 1906, immediately before the present letter. the works specifically recommended by lyapunov can be identified amongst these publications: the prélude and rêverie formed part of his four piano pieces, op. 1 , while the nocturne, op. 2 and second waltz, op. 3 were issued separately. lyapunov's enthusiastic endorsement provides interesting contemporary evidence of karpov's association with the balakirev school.  \n alexander gavrilovich tiniakov (fl. late 19th-early 20th century) russian composer and former pupil of the imperial court chapel during balakirev's directorship. he subsequently participated in balakirev's musical gatherings and composed a number of predominantly pianistic works, several of which were published by zimmermann of leipzig. balakirev himself took an interest in tiniakov's music, at one point recommending one of his waltzes for publication; balakirev's sixth mazurka was dedicated to tiniakov.  \n lyapunov writes shortly before sergei diaghilev's celebrated five concerts historiques russes,  staged at the paris opéra between 16th and 30th may 1907 and conceived as a major showcase of russian music for french audiences. conducted by such figures as rimsky-korsakov, glazunov and rachmaninoff, the concerts presented works spanning several generations of the russian school. lyapunov's forthright comments are therefore of particular interest, revealing both his concern that balakirev and glinka should receive their proper place in this representation of russian musical culture and his strongly partisan allegiance to the nationalist tradition established by balakirev and 'the five'."},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"774","title":{"es":"lyapunov sergei: (1859-1924) ´

pour avoir des effets moins réguliers, vous pouvez les obtenir avec l'estompe ou le doigt ou toute autre pression sur le papier qui couvre le vernis mou. votre vernis mou me semble un peu trop gras. vous avez mis un peu trop de graisse ou de suif. avec quoi avez-vous noirci votre vernis, pour avoir ce ton bistré du derrière du dessin ? c'est très joli. essayez quelque chose de plus grand avec une meilleure planche. pour la couleur, je vous ferai tirer avec une encre de couleur votre prochain envoi. j'ai aussi d'autres idées pour les planches en couleur. essayez donc quelque chose de plus fini. ça serait ravissant de voir des contours de choux très suivis. pensez qu'il faut débuter par une ou deux très belles planches de vous´ (translation: ´the general blackish, or rather greyish, hue comes from the zinc, which is oily in itself and retains the printer\u2019s black. the plate is not flat enough. i well imagine that in pontoise you do not have as much facility in this regard as you do on rue de la huchette. you really ought to have something smoother. you can nevertheless see just how versatile the process is. you should also practise applying dots, so as to achieve, for example, a sky that is a uniform, even and delicate grey. it is very difficult, if we are to believe maître bracquemond. if you intend to produce only original art engravings, it may well be quite straightforward. here is how to do it. take a very smooth plate (this is essential, as you will understand). degrease it thoroughly using spanish white. beforehand, you must have dissolved some resin in highly concentrated alcohol. once this liquid has been poured on \u2013 in the same way that photographers pour collodion onto their glass plates (take care, as they do, to let the plate drain thoroughly by tilting it) [at this point in the letter degas adds a small explanatory sketch showing a hand holding a tilted plate from which drops of liquid are falling] \u2013 this liquid evaporates, leaving the plate covered with a layer of resin in small grains, of varying thickness. when you etch the plate, you will obtain a pattern that is more or less dark, depending on how long you have allowed the etching to take effect. this is necessary to achieve even tones; to create less regular effects, you can use a stump, your finger, or any other means of applying pressure to the paper covering the soft ground. your soft ground seems a little too oily to me. you\u2019ve used a little too much grease or tallow. what did you use to darken your varnish to achieve that bistre tone on the reverse of the drawing? it\u2019s very pretty. try something larger on a better sheet of paper. as for the colour, i\u2019ll have your next submission printed using coloured ink. i also have other ideas for colour plates. do try something with a more polished finish. it would be lovely to see some very finely drawn outlines of cabbages. bear in mind that you should start with one or two really fine plates of your own´ ). degas also states that he is going to try the process himself in the next few days, and also makes a reference to gustave caillebotte, ´caillebotte fait de ses fenêtres des refuges du boulevard haussmann m'a-t-on dit´ (translation: ´i\u2019ve been told that caillebotte turns his windows into refuges on boulevard haussmann´ ) before returning to the main subject matter of his letter, and offering some thoughts on experimantation, ´pourriez-vous trouver à pontoise quelqu'un qui puisse découper dans du cuivre très léger des choses décalquées par vous. on pourrait appliquer ces sortes de patrons, sur une épreuve au trait et un peu à l'effet, à l'eau-forte ou au vernis mou, et imprimer alors avec du bois poreux chargé de couleur à l'eau les parties mises à découvert. il y aurait là à faire de jolis essais d'impressions originales et curieuses en couleur. travaillez un peu ça, si vous pouvez. je vous enverrai bientôt des essais de moi en ce genre. ce serait économique et nouveau. et ça nous irait, je crois suffisamment pour commencer. pas besoin de vous complimenter sur la qualité d'art de vos potagers. seulement dès que vous vous sentirez un peu habitué, essayez en plus grand et des choses plus faites´ (translation: ´could you find someone in pontoise who could cut out things you\u2019ve traced from very thin copper? we could apply these kinds of stencils to a line drawing with a bit of texture, using etching or soft ground, and then print the exposed areas using porous wood loaded with water-based colour. this would allow for some lovely experiments with original and intriguing colour prints. give it a go, if you can. i shall soon send you some of my own experiments of this sort. it would be economical and innovative. and i think it would suit us well enough to start with. there\u2019s no need to compliment you on the artistic quality of your vegetable gardens. just, as soon as you feel a little more accustomed to the process, try larger formats and more polished pieces´ ). an unusually lengthy and exceptional letter of outstanding artistic content and association, providing a remarkable first-hand account of the experimental printmaking activities of the impressionist circle, and further enhanced by an original illustration. some light age wear and minor staining, a few neat splits to the lower central vertical folds in the bifolium stationery, and with some dust staining to the fourth page, g  camille pissarro (1830\u20131903) french impressionist painter. pissarro and degas maintained a long friendship founded upon considerable mutual artistic respect, despite differences of temperament and, later, politics. their relationship became particularly close artistically in 1879\u201380, when they experimented together with etching, aquatint and soft-ground techniques in connection with the projected print journal le jour et la nuit. pissarro sometimes worked and printed his plates in degas's studio, and surviving impressions of his twilight with haystacks are actually inscribed \u201cimp. par degas\u201d, providing tangible evidence of their collaboration.  \n mary cassatt (1844\u20131926) american painter and printmaker who became closely associated with degas and the impressionists after settling permanently in paris. degas encouraged cassatt's experiments in printmaking from c.1879, and together with pissarro, félix bracquemond and others they planned the journal le jour et la nuit, which, although never published, stimulated an extraordinarily fertile period of experimentation with soft-ground etching, drypoint and aquatint. cassatt's subsequent mastery of printmaking, culminating in her celebrated series of colour prints of 1890\u201391, had its foundations in these experiments.  \n félix bracquemond (1833\u20131914) french painter, etcher and one of the foremost printmakers of his generation, who played an important role in the revival of etching in nineteenth-century france. an experienced technician among artists who were enthusiastically experimenting with printmaking, bracquemond became an important source of practical knowledge for degas, pissarro and cassatt; his authority is humorously acknowledged here in degas's reference to \u201cmaître bracquemond\u201d. he was also among the proposed contributors to le jour et la nuit and exhibited with the impressionists in 1874, 1879 and 1880.  \n gustave caillebotte (1848\u20131894) french painter, collector and important patron of the impressionists. degas's remark evidently refers to caillebotte's un refuge, boulevard haussmann (1880), one of a small group of radically composed parisian views which caillebotte painted from the elevated viewpoint of his apartment at 31 boulevard haussmann, where he had settled with his brother martial in 1879. the work depicts the newly ordered haussmannian city from above, employing the striking plunging perspective and unconventional cropping which distinguish caillebotte's most modern urban compositions.  \n the present letter provides a remarkable first-hand record of the extraordinary period of experimentation in printmaking undertaken by degas, pissarro and mary cassatt in 1879\u201380, principally in connection with their projected journal of original prints, le jour et la nuit . although the publication never appeared, the collaboration encouraged all three artists to explore etching, drypoint, aquatint, soft-ground and colour printing with unusual freedom. degas's exceptionally detailed technical instructions concerning plates, grounds, resin, biting, coloured inks and experimental stencil printing \u2014 accompanied by his explanatory sketch \u2014 reveal both the intensity of these investigations and the unusually collaborative nature of their work."},"estimateMax":50000,"lotNumber":"813","title":{"es":"degas edgar: (1834-1917) degas instructs pissarro in the art of printmaking"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/146809/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":40000,"soldPrice":36000,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T12:07:58.377Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac40,000 - \u20ac50,000","currency":"EUR","id":146809,"estimateMin":40000},{"startPrice":1000,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146810/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146810/004/004.jpg"],"soldDate":"2026-09-24","available":false,"description":{"es":"renoir pierre-auguste: (1841-1919) french impressionist painter. a.l.s., a renoir , one page, small 8vo (folding carte lettre stationery), n.p.

mounting to the upper edges of the verso of each page, evidently indications that the letter was previously framed. about vg \n camille pissarro (1830-1903) french impressionist painter and one of monet's closest artistic associates. like monet, pissarro sought refuge in london during the franco-prussian war, and the two artists explored the city and its museums together, particularly admiring the landscapes of turner and constable. pissarro later recalled that he and monet had been deeply impressed by the english painters' treatment of plein-air effects, light and atmosphere. both artists also encountered the dealer paul durand-ruel in london, beginning relationships which would prove important to their subsequent careers.  \n gustave courbet (1819-1877) french painter and a leading figure of the realist movement. an active supporter of the paris commune, courbet was elected to its governing council and became closely associated with the destruction of the vendôme column, symbol of napoleonic militarism, which was pulled down on 16th may 1871. when government troops entered paris on 21st may, the resulting semaine sanglante saw thousands of communards killed, many by summary execution. amid the chaos, false reports circulated that courbet himself had been captured and shot: newspapers of 27th-28th may specifically reported his supposed execution, precisely the misinformation which reached monet in london and prompted the anguished reaction recorded in the present letter. courbet had in fact survived, having gone into hiding; he was arrested on 7th june, subsequently sentenced to six months' imprisonment for his involvement in the commune, and later went into exile in switzerland.  \n following the outbreak of the franco-prussian war in july 1870, monet, unwilling to serve in the french army, left france and took refuge in london with his wife camille doncieux (1847-1879) and their young son jean. the family remained there into 1871, their return being further delayed by the violent upheavals of the paris commune. the present letter was written on 27th may 1871, during the final days of the semaine sanglante (\u2018bloody week\u2019), when government forces under the authority of versailles brutally suppressed the commune and paris was engulfed by street fighting, fires and summary executions. monet's evident distress at events in france\u2014and his immediate acceptance of the false report of courbet's execution\u2014vividly reflects the confused and alarming news reaching those

léon-paul robert. one of the artists approached during the formation of the société, robert became a signatory of its founding act on 27th december 1873, although, like guillemet and feyen-perrin, he did not participate in the first impressionist exhibition of 1874.  \n pierre-auguste renoir (1841-1919) french impressionist painter and one of monet's closest associates during the formative years of the movement. renoir became a founding member of the société and served on its provisional supervisory council; he subsequently exhibited seven works at the first impressionist exhibition of 1874.  \n antoine guillemet (1841-1918) french landscape painter and a friend of édouard manet, monet, pissarro and other members of the emerging impressionist circle. although more closely aligned with the official salon than many of his contemporaries, guillemet ultimately signed the founding act of the société in december 1873, although he did not participate in its celebrated exhibition the following april.  \n auguste feyen-perrin (1826-1888) french painter, engraver and illustrator, known particularly for genre scenes and depictions of breton life. despite apparently ignoring monet's approach recorded in the present letter, feyen-perrin subsequently became one of the signatories of the société's founding act and was named among its provisional administrators, although he did not participate in the first impressionist exhibition.  \n the present letter was written at a pivotal moment in the formation of the group which would shortly become identified as the impressionists. frustrated by the restrictions and juries of the official salon, monet, pissarro and their associates sought to establish an independent organisation through which artists could exhibit and sell their work without jury or awards. monet's references here to the difficulty of obtaining \u2018signatures\u2019 provide a remarkable contemporary record of the practical efforts involved in recruiting its members. just sixteen days after the present letter, on 27th december 1873, twenty-two artists, including monet, pissarro and renoir, formally constituted the société anonyme coopérative des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc. the society's first exhibition opened at nadar's former studios, 35 boulevard des capucines, on 15th april 1874 and included monet's impression, soleil levant ,

bungalow in argenteuil from 1st october 1874 at a cost of 1,400 francs per annum. despite this representing an increase in his domestic expenses, monet moved to  argenteuil  mainly because it offered a balance of affordability, easy access to paris, and rich visual material\u2014especially the seine, modern leisure scenes, and changing light that suited his impressionist experiments. by 1876, it had become both his home and an artistic laboratory, where he painted his surroundings repeatedly to study atmosphere and colour.  \n the house he rented, built in 1871, was a modest suburban villa in a swiss chalet style, with decorative woodwork, balconies, and distinctive green shutters. monet developed its garden himself, filling it with flowers like hollyhocks and using it as a central subject in his paintings, often including his wife camille and their son. argenteuil was both a creative breakthrough and, as demonstrated by the present letter, a period of acute financial anxiety, with the rented house itself becoming a place where artistic innovation and personal insecurity coexisted very closely."},"estimateMax":40000,"lotNumber":"819","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) ´ i am

before monet returned to the normandy coast for an important painting campaign during the winter and spring of 1897. the artist had first worked extensively at pourville in 1882 and, after an absence of some fourteen years, returned to the area in 1896 and again in 1897, revisiting familiar motifs around pourville, dieppe and nearby varengeville. during these later campaigns monet increasingly treated individual subjects in series, working simultaneously upon several canvases in order to capture changing effects of light, weather and atmosphere. his 1897 works included views of the cliffs at pourville, the rough sea and the customs house at varengeville. thus monet's joyful anticipation in the present letter of once again seeing ´le mouvement de la mer´ has particular resonance: within days he would be confronting precisely that subject on canvas, producing some of the most atmospheric seascapes of his later career.  \n the present letter appears to be unpublished in full. daniel

paint decorative panels for his château de rottembourg at montgeron. his spectacular financial collapse the following year resulted in the dispersal of his celebrated art collection at a judicial sale in 1878 and profoundly altered the circumstances of the hoschedé family. alice and her six children subsequently shared a household with claude monet and his family at vétheuil, and, following the deaths of camille monet in 1879 and ernest hoschedé in 1891, alice and monet married in july 1892. the present letter provides a revealing reminder that the consequences of hoschedé's bankruptcy continued to pursue alice two decades later: she explains that her own fortune had been consumed by the failure, that her children had renounced their father's estate, and, significantly, that she had married monet under a regime of separation of property specifically to protect the painter and his earnings from the claims of hoschedé's

t\u2019embrasse comme je t\u2019aime; je pense bien à toi, à ta solitude ´ (translation: ´i send you a big hug, just as much as i love you; i\u2019m thinking of you often, and of how lonely you must be´ ). a highly evocative letter from monet's celebrated london campaign, combining an intimate glimpse of his relationship with alice with a remarkable first-hand account of the relentless working methods and constantly changing effects of light that lay behind his great series of london paintings. vg  \n alice hoschedé monet (1844-1911) french artists' model, wife of the art collector ernest hoschede and later of the impressionist painter claude monet.  \n mary hunter (1856-1933) british society hostess and notable patron of the arts, the wife of the wealthy northumbrian colliery owner charles hunter and sister of the composer ethel smyth. hunter befriended monet during his visits to london and played an important practical role in the very painting campaign documented in the present letter, introducing him to dr. joseph frank payne, through whom the artist obtained permission to work from st. thomas' hospital. from its terrace, directly across the thames from the palace of westminster, monet began his celebrated houses of parliament series in february 1900, continuing the motif during his return to london in 1901 and subsequently reworking the canvases at giverny. the friendship endured: in 1908 hunter invited claude and alice monet to venice, where their stay with her at the palazzo barbaro helped inspire monet's celebrated venetian series.  \n monet visited london on several occasions throughout his life, the first time being in 1870 when he spent time with his friend camille pissarro, as well as the american painter james abbott mcneill whistler, and also befriended his first and primary art dealer, paul durand-ruel, in what would prove to be a decisive encounter for monet´s career. in 1900 monet stayed at the savoy hotel in london, from where the present letter was written. he converted his room into a temporary studio from where he overlooked the thames river and the buildings and bridges of westminster. captivated by the fog, the factory smoke, and the changing light effects, monet painted many impressionist oil paintings during this time, including the famous series consisting of views of the palace of westminster, home of the british parliament.  \n in 1904, monet exhibited thirty-seven views of the thames with durand-ruel. in his preface to the catalogue, octave mirbeau described the prodigiousness of these achievements: \"it's a miracle, almost a paradox, that one can, with paste on canvas, create impalpable matter, imprison sunlight, polarize it or diffuse it, infinitely reflected in what a city like london contains of thick breaths, crowded soot, and with these heavy breaths, these impenetrable soot, all these coal emanations, bring forth from this empyreumatic atmosphere such splendid enchantments of light."},"estimateMax":60000,"lotNumber":"826","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) ´ ....what drives me to despair above all else is the sun, which extends its course every

children.  \n blanche hoschedé monet (1865-1947) french painter, the daughter of alice and ernest hoschedé and stepdaughter of claude monet, whose pupil and painting companion she became. in 1897 she

gardens at giverny.  \n theodore earl butler (1861-1936) american impressionist painter and an important member of the artists' colony at giverny. in 1892 butler married alice hoschedé's daughter suzanne, with whom he had two children, james and lilly. suzanne died in september 1899 and butler subsequently married her sister marthe in 1900, thus becoming closely integrated into the monet-hoschedé family.  \n mrs hart, evidently an american acquaintance of the monet-hoschedé family, has not been conclusively identified. she may have been connected with the american painter william howard hart (1863-1937), a close associate of theodore earl butler at giverny; butler painted hart's portrait there in 1897, and hart in turn painted a portrait of butler. the identity of mrs hart's american friend whose death michel describes as ´bien effrayante´ has likewise not been established.  \n ´gemmy´ is evidently germaine hoschedé (1873-1968), another daughter of alice and ernest hoschedé and michel monet's stepsister. germaine was also one of claude monet's occasional models and appears with her sisters suzanne and blanche in his painting en norvégienne (1887).  \n lili (alice ´lily´) butler (1894- ) was the daughter of theodore earl butler and suzanne hoschedé and consequently alice monet's granddaughter. she frequently appeared in her father's paintings, including the card players (1896), alongside her mother suzanne, her aunt marthe hoschedé and the american painter william howard hart. she later worked for harper's bazaar in new york and moved in avant-garde

cependant, en me levant à 6 heures, j´ai bien cru que j´allais savoir une très mauvaise journée. comme toujours le dimanche, pas l´ombre de brume, même c´était d´une netteté épouvantable; puis le

and yet, when i got up at 6 o\u2019clock, i really thought i was in for a very bad day. as always on sundays, not a trace of mist; in fact, it was terrifyingly clear; then the sun rose, so blinding that one could not look at it. the thames was nothing but gold. my goodness, it was beautiful, so much so that i set to work frantically, following the sun and its glints on the water. meanwhile, the kitchen fires were lit. thanks to the smoke, the mist rolled in, followed by clouds, and so on´ ) and also recounting the previous evening spent in the company of his friend and fellow painter, john singer sargent, ´hier soir, comme je te l´ai dit, je suis allé voir sargent qui. comme moi, était resté enfermé tout le jour à travailler; [il] m´a offert une promenade le long de la tamise, à chelsea. quel bel endroit et les belles choses que nous avons vues! il a reçu une lettre d´helleu lui annonçant sa venue très prochaine. il a, parait-il, été très malade, mais est guéri à présent. sargent m´a de suite demandé si mme. hunter ne m´avait pas dit du mal de lui, l´autre soir; qu´elle lui avait écrit qu´elle ne comprenait pas que, me sachant à dîner chez elle, il n´ait pas jugé bon de venir, que c´était ridicule à lui d´être pris par tant de dîners et de portraits des premiers venus, et il n´est pas très content, disant qu´il est bien libre de vivre à sa guise et de faire ce qu´il veut, que mme. hunter est, quoique charmante, très autoritaire, qu´elle ne peut vivre sans avoir quelqu´un à dîner et qu´il faudrait tout laisser pour se rendre à ses invitations. enfin, des

spot, and what beautiful things we saw! he received a letter from helleu announcing his imminent arrival. apparently, he had been very ill, but is now recovered. sargent immediately asked me whether mrs hunter had said anything bad about him the other evening; that she had written to him saying she could not understand why, knowing i was dining at her house, he had not seen fit to come, that it was ridiculous of him to be tied up with so many dinners and portraits of just anyone, and he is not very pleased, saying that he is quite free to live as he pleases and do as he wishes, that mrs hunter is, though charming, very bossy, that she cannot live without having someone over for dinner and that one would have to drop everything to attend her invitations. well, just gossip, really!´ ) and further adding ´nouvelle invitation chez les wertheimer pour ce soir, mais sargent a cru devoir refuser pour lui et moi, et il a bien fait. ce sera sans doute pour dimanche prochain. il parait que les photos sont très réussies. sans doute on me les donnera quand j´irai y dîner´ (translation: ´another invitation to the wertheimers\u2019 this evening, but sargent felt he had to decline on behalf of both of us, and he was right to do so. it will no doubt be next sunday. apparently the photographs have turned out very well. i\u2019m sure they\u2019ll show them to me when i go there for dinner´ ). monet takes a break in writing to eat his lunch, ´le temps continue à changer à toute minute à cause des nuages et du grand vent. j´espère bien retravailler cependant et terminerai tantôt ma lettre´ (translation: ´the weather keeps changing by the minute because of the clouds and the strong wind. i do hope to get back to work, though, and will finish my letter shortly´ ) and continues again at 2.30pm, reporting ´je ne puis te dire cette journée fantastique. que de choses merveilleuses, mais ne durant pas cinq minutes, c´est à devenir fou. non, il n´y a pas de pays plus extraordinaire pour un peintre. il est nuit en ce moment, pour quelques instants seulement, et j´ai dû allumer pour te griffonner mes sensations´ (translation: ´i can\u2019t tell you what a fantastic day it\u2019s been. so many marvellous things, but none lasting more than five minutes \u2013 it\u2019s enough to drive one mad. no, there\u2019s no country more extraordinary for a painter. it\u2019s dark at the moment, if only for a few moments, and i\u2019ve had to light a lamp to jot down my impressions for you´ ). monet also refers to family members, including his stepson, jean-pierre, and son, michel, remarking that he will have to wait until tomorrow to receive news of them, further reflecting ´tandis que toi, c´est au contraire ton bon jour, tu as les les enfants près de toi, tu as la joie et jacasserie des petits et enfin, tu sais ce que je ne saurai que demain. je ne veux cependant pas trop me plaindre. certes, j´aimerais à être subitement transporté près de vous tous, mais j´ai aussi de grandes jouissances. je vois des choses uniques, merveilleuses et je tripote de la peinture. par moments, je me monte la tête pour retomber souvent dans ce terrible découragement que tu sais. mais je reste vaillant, avec l´espoir que tant d´efforts ne seront pas vains. mais revoilà la lumière naturelle, je m´arrête´ (translation: ´whereas for you, on the contrary, it\u2019s your good day: you have the children close by, you have the joy and chatter of the little ones, and finally, you know what i won\u2019t find out until tomorrow. i don\u2019t want to complain too much, though. of course, i\u2019d love to be suddenly whisked away to be with you all, but i\u2019m also enjoying myself immensely. i see unique, marvellous things and i mess about with paint. at times, i get carried away, only to often fall back into that terrible despondency you know so well. but i remain steadfast, in the hope that so much effort will not be in vain. but here comes the natural light again; i shall stop now´ ). monet completes his letter a few hours later, at 5pm, announcing ´ici je m´arrête tout a fait. je viens de faire [une] pochade d´un effet épatant et, ma foi, je suis fourbu, vanné, et vais aller me dégourdir et prendre l´air jusqu´à l´heure du dîner au café royal, où sans doute je verrai le jeune g. moore´ (translation: ´i\u2019m stopping completely now. i\u2019ve just done [a] sketch with a stunning effect and, my word, i\u2019m exhausted, worn out, and am going to stretch my legs and get some fresh air until dinner time at the café royal, where i\u2019ll no doubt see young g. moore´ ). the artist concludes his letter in affectionate terms, ´je t´embrasse bien tendrement ainsi que tous, amitiés à butler. puis-je demain avoir, recevoir des bonnes nouvelles de giverny. ton vieux qui t´aime´ (translation: ´i send you and everyone my warmest affection; best wishes to butler. may i have some good news from giverny tomorrow? your old friend who loves you´ ). a superb and unusually detailed letter from monet's final london campaign, vividly documenting his almost feverish pursuit of the fleeting effects of light, mist, smoke and reflection upon the thames, whilst also providing a fascinating glimpse of his social circle in edwardian london. one very small, light, minor stain to the head of the first page, otherwise ex \n alice hoschedé monet (1844-1911) french artists' model, wife of the art collector ernest hoschede and later of the impressionist painter claude monet (from 1892).  \n john singer sargent (1856-1925) american painter, regarded as the leading society portraitist of his generation. sargent had known and admired monet since the 1870s and painted him working outdoors at giverny in 1885. during monet's london campaigns sargent became an important friend and intermediary, introducing him into london society and assisting with practical arrangements; in 1901 sargent and asher wertheimer also helped monet secure a vantage point from which to paint leicester square.  \n paul césar helleu (1859-1927) french painter, pastellist and printmaker, celebrated particularly for his elegant portraits of fashionable society. a friend of monet and sargent, helleu moved in the anglo-french artistic and social circles frequented by both artists and made numerous visits to london.  \n mary hunter (1856-1933) british society hostess and notable patron of the arts, the wife of the wealthy northumbrian colliery owner charles hunter and sister of the composer ethel smyth. a close friend and patron of sargent, who painted her celebrated portrait in 1898, she entertained many leading artists and writers at her london home.  hunter befriended monet during his visits to the capital and was instrumental in monet's london campaign, arranging for him to use a room at st. thomas' hospital overlooking the thames, from which he painted his celebrated views of the houses of parliament. the friendship endured: in 1908 hunter invited claude and alice monet to venice, where their stay with her at the palazzo barbaro helped inspire monet's celebrated venetian series.  \n asher wertheimer (1844-1918) british art dealer and collector and one of sargent's most important patrons. together with his wife flora wertheimer, he presided over a cultured and hospitable household at 8 connaught place, london. sargent's extraordinary relationship with the family resulted in twelve portraits\u2014the largest private portrait commission of his career\u2014including those of asher and flora and, in 1901, several of their children. sargent's friendship with the wertheimers evidently brought monet into their circle during his london stay.  \n george augustus moore (1852-1933) irish novelist, critic and memoirist who had studied art in paris and became an early english-language champion of french realism and impressionism. closely acquainted with many contemporary artists, including manet, degas and whistler, moore was himself portrayed by manet and walter sickert. he was a regular presence at london's café royal and evidently provided monet with welcome companionship during his otherwise intensely concentrated 1901 painting campaign.  \n the present letter was written during monet's third and final sustained london painting campaign, following earlier stays in 1899 and 1900. from his rooms at the savoy hotel overlooking the thames he worked simultaneously upon numerous canvases depicting waterloo bridge and charing cross bridge, while from st. thomas' hospital he pursued his views of the houses of parliament. the scale of the undertaking was unprecedented in monet's career: the london project eventually comprised nearly one hundred canvases and more than twenty-five pastels. rather than regarding fog, smoke and london's notoriously unstable weather as obstacles, monet made their constantly changing effects of light and colour the essential subject of the series.  \n the letter provides an exceptionally vivid first-hand account of this process. monet's description of having worked upon four canvases before nine o'clock, abandoning one for another as the sun, smoke, mist and clouds transformed the thames, illustrates his practice of keeping numerous pictures in progress simultaneously and switching rapidly between them as particular atmospheric effects reappeared. his exclamation that there was ´no country more extraordinary for a painter´ encapsulates the fascination london exercised upon him. by mid-march 1901 he had some fifty canvases under way; after returning to giverny he continued to develop the london pictures from memory for several years, finally exhibiting thirty-seven vues de la tamise à londres at durand-ruel in paris in 1904."},"estimateMax":80000,"lotNumber":"828","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) ´ the thames was nothing but gold´ - monet paints a fantastic day in

nevertheless great fun. i\u2019m going back there later at 6 pm as dusk falls; i\u2019ll stay until half past 8 and have dinner at 9 pm´ ), and reflects ´enfin si je n´arrive à rien ce ne sera pas de

toujours les choses à t´écrire ou à communiquer. a demain, ton vieux qui t´aime´ (translation: ´to you, my poor darling, all my thoughts, all my heart; thank god for a bit of peace and quiet, and for not always having to think of things to write to you or tell you. see you tomorrow, your old man who loves you´ ) and in a postscript makes a reference to his friend and fellow artist, john singer sargent, ´ce pauvre sargent est pris aussi voilà le mot qu´il m´envoie´ (translation: ´poor sargent is caught up in it too; here\u2019s the note he\u2019s sent me´ ). a fine letter from the closing

nocturnal effects in leicester square. about ex \n alice hoschedé monet (1844-1911) french artists' model, wife of the art collector ernest hoschede and later of the impressionist painter claude monet (from 1892).  \n john singer sargent (1856-1925) american painter and leading society portraitist of his generation. a longstanding friend and admirer of monet, whom he had painted working outdoors at giverny in 1885, sargent was an important member of monet's social circle during his london campaigns and assisted him in gaining access to suitable vantage points from which to paint the city.  \n the present letter was written towards the end of monet's third and final sustained london painting campaign, during which he continued the three principal series begun on his earlier visits: charing cross bridge and waterloo bridge, painted from the savoy hotel, and the houses of parliament, viewed from a terrace at st thomas' hospital across the thames. the scale of the undertaking had become formidable and by mid-march monet had approximately fifty canvases in progress. his frustration here at having undertaken the ´motifs de l'hôpital´ alongside his other work reflects the extraordinary demands of his method, which required him to move rapidly between canvases as particular effects of light, fog and weather appeared and disappeared.  \n the reference to taking refuge at ´le club´ is also significant. in early march 1901 monet added another, quite different london subject to his already considerable workload: nocturnal views of leicester square, painted from a window at the green room club in st martin's street. the present letter therefore catches monet at an especially intense moment, moving between his thames series and this new urban night motif. his self-deprecating complaint that he could barely ´barbouiller mes toiles´ belies an extraordinarily productive campaign whose paintings he would continue to develop at giverny; thirty-seven of his vues de la tamise à londres were eventually exhibited together at durand-ruel in paris in 1904."},"estimateMax":50000,"lotNumber":"829","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) monet struggles with his london canvases as

résoudre que si je trouve chez un confrère la preuve certaine d´un résultat, car les oculistes se retranchent sur le secret professionnel, ce qui est plutôt inquiétant´ (translation: ´they want to

rather worrying´ ) and concluding ´vous voyez, cher ami, le service que vous me rendriez si parmi les peintres vous en trouvez un qui puisse me rassurer´ (translation: ´you see, my dear friend, what a service you would do me if, amongst painters, you could find one who might reassure me´ ). a poignant letter in which monet confronts the devastating implications of his failing eyesight for his art, expressing with remarkable candour his fear that cataract surgery might restore his sight without restoring the perception of colour upon which his work depended. about ex \n monet's deteriorating eyesight had troubled him for many years, cataracts having been diagnosed in both eyes by the early 1910s. despite considerable reluctance, and encouraged particularly by his close friend georges clemenceau, he eventually submitted to surgery on his right eye in january 1923. the treatment involved several procedures and initially left monet deeply dissatisfied: although his visual acuity improved, his perception of colour was severely disturbed, precisely the problem described with striking immediacy in the present letter. medical studies of monet's condition have identified the postoperative disturbance as xanthopsia, in which vision is abnormally dominated by yellow.  \n the consequences were profound for an artist whose late work depended so intensely upon subtle variations of colour and light. monet resisted further surgery and struggled with corrective lenses, but his colour perception gradually improved and he was able to resume painting; the musée de l'orangerie records that following the 1923 operation he recovered his perception of colour and returned to work within months. he continued labouring on the monumental nymphéas decorations destined for the orangerie until shortly before his death in 1926. the present letter, written on 21st september 1923, therefore captures monet at an especially vulnerable moment between the operations themselves and his eventual adaptation to their effects, when he remained uncertain whether he would ever again see colour sufficiently well to paint as before."},"estimateMax":80000,"lotNumber":"833","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) ´ i see only distorted colours; at best, nothing but yellow and

met claude monet in the summer of 1911 when they were introduced to each other by the bernheim-jeune brothers at their villa ´bois lurette´ in villers-sur-mer. the two men developed a close friendship and in 1915 monet was one of the subjects of guitry´s first cinematic film ceux de chez nous (´those of our home´). the twenty-two minute silent movie was f irst shown at the th é atre des vari é t é s on 22nd november 1915 and is often heralded as the first film about the process of art-making itself and thus the first true artist documentary. the film includes two- to three-minute-long appearances by claude monet and pierre-auguste renoir (both then around seventy-five years old), among other greats of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century french art scene, including the sculptor auguste rodin, the actors sarah bernhardt, andré antoine, and lucien guitry, the composer camille saint-saëns, and the writers anatole france, octave mirbeau, and edmond rostand. guitry\u2019s film helped immortalise monet at a time when cinema was still in its infancy, and the footage gives modern viewers a rare glimpse of monet in motion, painting in his beloved garden at giverny.  \n guitry´s second wife (of five) was the french singer and actress yvonne printemps (1894-1977). the couple were married in 1919 and worked closely together until 1932, when they divorced.

mr iker and mr rosso exhibited works of a gentle sentiment without great refinement. far above the others were the landscapes by mr girieu-marc......girieu-marc is undoubtedly one of the finest painters to have emerged from the \u2018le barc de boutteville\u2019 exhibition since its inception. alongside mr leheutre\u2014whose work features a beautiful sleeping woman\u2014and mr francis guiguet, a true master of twilight and the mysterious grace of half-light, he appears to be a painter of true calibre with a charming soul´ ). mauclair continues with a glowing review of mary cassatt´s works at durand-ruel´s gallery, ´chez durand-ruel furent apparus pour quelques jours des séries d'eaux-fortes et une cinquantaine de toiles. nous avons sans doute impressionniste fait déjà trois femmes peintres. mme berthe morisot, mme jeanne jacquemin, et miss mary cassatt, car cette dernière, américaine de naissance, est de la filiation directe de degas. mme jacquemin se plaît à rechercher près de botticelli, de gozzoli et de jean belin des rapports infinis de lignes et de nuances tendant à une douceur d'une douceur indéfinissable et hallucinante, avec une couleur étrange et voilée. mme morisot, au talent fier et aigu, très-moderne, a signé deux ou trois toiles d'une absolue beauté, d'une allure hautaine à la manet, et une foule de petites esquisses charmantes et vives. miss cassatt dessine plus sévèrement, et s'en tient à reproduire en toute son œuvre des motifs de maternité. c'est tout ce qu'elle veut connaître de la vie : elle y trouve de la beauté pure. elle montrerait ainsi quelques pastels d'enfants d'un dessin parfait et d'une couleur savoureuse, œuvres composées avec le sens classicisme du prestigieux degas et ses pointes sèches câlines, certaines rehaussées d'aquarelle, en des tirages parfaits à la manière japonaise.......miss cassatt est un peintre de race. j'ai entendu des gens se plaindre de la voir occupée uniquement de peindre des marmots, des bonnes, des objets de toilette. ces gens croyaient apparemment que la beauté, le caractère, ne se portent pas sur tous les objets et toutes les formes, et que le sujet est d'un tableau compte dans le talent. c'étaient d'ailleurs des peintres.......dans le vestibule, nous avons avisé degas. il venait voir quelques œuvres, revoir même celles qui lui appartiennent et qu'il a sous les yeux tous les jours. il sait bien à quoi s'en tenir sur les sujets nobles, le maître aime l'imagination de miss cassatt, parce qu'elle peint bien´ (translation: ´at durand-ruel, a series of etchings and some fifty canvases were on display for a few days. we have undoubtedly already mentioned three female impressionist painters: madame berthe morisot, madame jeanne jacquemin, and miss mary cassatt, for the latter, an american by birth, is a direct descendant of degas. madame jacquemin delights in seeking, in the works of botticelli, gozzoli and jean belin, the infinite interplay of lines and shades tending towards a softness of an indefinable and mesmerising gentleness, with a strange, veiled colour. mrs morisot, with her proud and keen talent, very modern in style, has produced two or three canvases of absolute beauty, with a haughty air à la manet, and a host of charming and vivid little sketches. miss cassatt\u2019s style is more austere, and she confines herself throughout her work to depicting scenes of motherhood. that is all she wishes to know of life: in it she finds pure beauty. she thus exhibits a number of pastels of children, perfectly drawn and rich in colour\u2014works composed with the classical sensibility of the illustrious degas and his tender drypoint strokes, some enhanced with watercolour, in flawless prints in the japanese style....... miss cassatt is a painter of true calibre. i have heard people complain that she is preoccupied solely with painting little children, maids and toiletries. these people apparently believed that beauty and character do not apply to all objects and forms, and that the subject of a painting counts for something in terms of talent. they were, incidentally, painters themselves....... in the entrance hall, we spotted degas. he had come to look at a few works, even to revisit those that belong to him and which he sees every day. he knows full well what to make of noble subjects; the master admires miss cassatt\u2019s imagination because she paints well´ ). a particularly interesting piece of contemporary art criticism, distinguished by mauclair's perceptive and enthusiastic assessment of cassatt and his first-hand observation of degas viewing her works, offering a vivid contemporary testament to the close artistic affinity between the two painters. with the official oval purple ink stamp of the mercure de france to the upper margin of the first page. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg \n the present manuscript was prepared for publication in the mercure de france, the influential parisian literary and artistic review with which mauclair was closely associated. under the title choses d'art, the article appeared in the journal in january 1896 [tome xvii], its discussion of contemporary exhibitions providing an illuminating record of mauclair's engagement with the parisian avant-garde at the end of the nineteenth century.  \n mary cassatt (1844-1926) american painter and printmaker who spent most of her adult life in france and became one of the leading figures associated with impressionism. she first encountered edgar degas's work in the 1870s and, after meeting him in 1877, developed a close and enduring friendship with the french artist, who invited her to exhibit with the impressionists in 1879. degas profoundly influenced cassatt's draughtsmanship and experimentation with printmaking, while their relationship was one of considerable mutual artistic respect; each collected works by the other.  \n berthe morisot (1841-1895) french painter and printmaker, one of the founding members of the impressionist movement and, alongside mary cassatt, one of its most important female exponents. after exhibiting regularly at the official paris salon from 1864, she participated in the first impressionist exhibition in 1874 and ultimately appeared in seven of the group's eight exhibitions. morisot enjoyed a particularly close artistic friendship with édouard manet, for whom she frequently modelled and with whom she exerted a reciprocal artistic influence; in 1874 she married his younger brother eugène. mauclair's praise is especially poignant in the present manuscript: morisot had died on 2nd march 1895, aged just fifty-four, less than a year before he wrote these words describing her ´proud and keen talent´ and canvases of ´absolute beauty´."},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"840","title":{"es":"mauclair camille: (1872-1945)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/146836/view","tags":["escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":300,"soldPrice":1100,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T12:36:42.385Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac300 - \u20ac400","currency":"EUR","id":146836,"estimateMin":300},{"startPrice":400,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146837/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146837/004/004.jpg"],"soldDate":"2026-09-24","available":false,"description":{"es":"[gauguin paul]: (1848-1903) french post-impressionist painter & [verlaine paul]: (1844-1896) french poet. an unusual, rare original printed programme and subscription form for a représentation symbolique d'œuvres inédites organised by paul fort's théâtre d'art for the benefit of paul gauguin and paul verlaine, two pages (bifolium stationery), 8vo, paris, 1891, issued as a supplement to la plume , no. 48. the benefit, advertised to take place at the théâtre du vaudeville on 27th may 1891, was presented under the patronage of stéphane mallarmé, paul verlaine, jean moréas, charles morice and henri de régnier, with subscriptions administered through l'écho de paris . the programme presents a remarkable assembly of symbolist literature and drama, comprising les uns et les autres , a one-act verse play by verlaine with music by pierre quittard;

c'est sur ce bureau que je griffonne en ce moment. la deuxième pièce acajou et bleu, élégante. la troisième, sorte de grand cabinet de toilette. quelques tableaux français, revues ou batailles. dans chaque plus un poêle forme par coupé dans un angle. il monte jusqu'à la corniche. dans la seconde pièce un superbe piano à queue : bois clair et bronze dorés. l'empereur a posé 1 heure -

(1939), printed on pale green paper and comprising fourteen prose-poems by éluard accompanied by two reproductions of photographs by bellmer depicting his celebrated articulated female doll. éluard's fourteen short texts respond poetically to bellmer's disturbing and erotically charged photographs, amongst them the fourth poem, accompanying an image of the dismembered doll sprawled across a chair, which begins ´où les oiseaux ne chantent pas, de quoi ne sommes-nous pas sevrés? où les blés ne poussent pas, que pouvons-nous espérer?´ (translation: ´ where the birds do not sing, of what are we not

inner skin. a mouth necessarily pink, even against the façade of the completely black forest ´). the final poems include éluard's insistent interrogation of the doll's female identity: ´c'est une

photography within surrealism. éluard had become fascinated by bellmer's celebrated poupée, an articulated female mannequin which the artist repeatedly assembled, dismembered and rearranged before photographing it in increasingly unsettling and erotic configurations. bellmer's photographs challenged conventional ideas of the human body, sexuality and identity and attracted considerable attention amongst the paris surrealists.  \n éluard's fourteen prose-poems were written in 1938-39 specifically in response to bellmer's photographs, reversing the conventional relationship between text and illustration: éluard conceived his poems as poetic ´illustrations´ of bellmer's images. the present publication, illustrated with two of the photographs, constitutes the first edition of the texts and was produced as a separately printed offprint associated with the second issue of messages in 1939. the poems were subsequently incorporated into éluard's le livre ouvert ii in 1942 under the title les jeux de la poupée. \n of particular bibliographical interest is the announcement at the conclusion of the present edition for a projected publication by éditions des cahiers d'art in which éluard's fourteen poems were to accompany fourteen photographs by bellmer. that edition never appeared. a more fully realised union of the poems and photographs was eventually published a decade later, in 1949, as les jeux de la poupée, with fifteen photographic plates.  \n the collaboration had developed from éluard's early enthusiasm for bellmer's work. having received material relating to the second series of the poupée, éluard became sufficiently fascinated by the images that, while travelling in spain in 1936, he projected bellmer's photographs during lectures on picasso and surrealism and informed bellmer of his intention to write a text about the doll upon his return to paris. the resulting poems provide one of the most compelling literary responses to bellmer's disturbing surrealist creation."},"estimateMax":1200,"lotNumber":"870","title":{"es":"[éluard paul]: (1895-1952) & [bellmer

and ´clair de lune´ standing upon a box marked ´rosiers´ , and provides magritte's editorial address at 135 rue esseghem, jette-bruxelles. the verso is entirely occupied by a printed text by magritte explaining his contemporary artistic researches and his method of discovering unexpected poetic relationships between apparently unrelated objects. magritte explains ´un objet, un sujet quelconque pris comme question, il s'agissait de trouver comme réponse un autre objet, attaché secrètement au premier par des liens assez complexes pour servir de vérification de la réponse. si la réponse s'imposait, évidente, la réunion des deux objets était saisissante´ (translation: ´ an object, any subject taken as a question, required finding as an answer another object, secretly connected to the first by links complex enough to verify the answer. if the answer imposed itself as evident, the bringing together of the two objects was striking ´). the artist proceeds to explain the conception of three recent paintings, le séducteur , le coup au cœur and la main heureuse , observing that ´le coup au cœur offre comme réponse à la rose un poignard qui pousse sur la tige d'une rose´ (translation: ´ le coup au cœur offers, as an answer to the rose, a dagger growing from the stem of a rose ´), while the problem presented by the piano resulted in the discovery that ´l'objet secret destiné à se réunir au piano était une bague de fiançailles´ (translation: ´ the secret object destined to be united with the piano was an engagement ring ´). magritte concludes by invoking edgar allan poe and contemplating whether it might be possible to create relationships between objects in which ´l'effet et la cause sont réversibles´ (translation: ´ effect and cause are reversible ´). his name appears in bold type at the conclusion. the present example was hand addressed by magritte in blue ink and mailed to the german surrealist artist hans bellmer (1902-1975) at thizy in the rhône, his address subsequently amended in another hand in black ink and redirected to 88 rue mouffetard, paris. some very light age wear and minor creasing, otherwise vg \n a particularly attractive association copy of the inaugural number of magritte's la carte d'après nature, sent to fellow surrealist hans bellmer. founded by magritte in october 1952 and issued irregularly during the following years, the characteristically unconventional publication was initially produced in the diminutive form of postcards which could be distributed directly through the mail. its contributors included leading figures of belgian surrealism such as louis scutenaire, paul colinet, marcel lecomte and e. l. t. mesens.  \n the inaugural number is of particular significance for containing magritte's own concise exposition of his artistic method. rather than simply juxtaposing unrelated objects, magritte describes his search for the ´secret´ relationship by which one object could provide the poetic answer to the problem posed by another. his discussion of le séducteur, le coup au cœur and la main heureuse therefore provides valuable contemporary testimony concerning the intellectual processes underlying some of his paintings of the period. in la main heureuse, for example, the unexpected union of a grand piano and an enormous engagement ring provided the solution to what magritte termed ´the problem of the piano´.  \n the recipient, hans bellmer, was one of the most distinctive artists associated with international surrealism, celebrated particularly for his unsettling photographs and constructions of the female doll (die puppe). bellmer had settled permanently in paris after the second world war and remained closely connected with the surrealist milieu. the fact that magritte's inaugural issue was actually dispatched to bellmer provides a particularly evocative record of the circulation of surrealist ideas and publications between two major figures of the movement."},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"871","title":{"es":"[magritte rene]:

(paris), 24th april 1934, printed in red on bifolium stationery by imprimerie union, paris, protesting against the french government's order for the expulsion of leon trotsky. the declaration is signed in type by a remarkable assembly of twenty surrealist artists and writers, including andré breton, roger caillois, rené char, rené crevel, paul éluard, georges hugnet, valentine hugo, marcel jean, benjamin péret and yves tanguy, as well as maurice heine, maurice henry, jean lévy, fernand marc, j. and m. l. mayoux, j.-m. monnerot, henri pastoureau, gui rosey, robert valançay and pierre yoyotte, and additionally ´un assez grand nombre de camarades étrangers´ (translation: ´ a fairly large number of foreign comrades ´). the tract opens by ironically recounting the sensationalist portrayal of trotsky in the french press as ´un bandit particulièrement dangereux, l'auteur de plus de crimes qu'on n'en saurait énumérer et, de plus, un maniaque de la récidive, un être entre tous sans aveu et sans asile, une véritable plaie du genre humain´ (translation: ´ a particularly dangerous bandit, the perpetrator of more crimes than could possibly be enumerated and, moreover, an habitual recidivist, a man without credentials or refuge, a veritable scourge of mankind ´), before identifying him as having been permitted to reside in france a year earlier and now ´frappé brusquement d'un arrêt d'expulsion´ (translation: ´ suddenly served with an expulsion order ´). the signatories condemn the government's action as part of a wider assault upon the revolutionary left, declaring that ´l'expulsion de trotsky marque le point de départ de mesures répressives contre les immigrés communistes et prépare la mise hors la loi des organisations révolutionnaires´ (translation: ´ trotsky's expulsion marks the beginning of repressive measures against communist immigrants and prepares the way for revolutionary organisations to be outlawed ´). although explicitly acknowledging ´nous qui, ici, sommes loin de partager toutes ses conceptions actuelles´ (translation: ´ we here are far from sharing all of his present views ´), the authors nevertheless express their indignation at his treatment and salute ´le vieux compagnon de lénine, le signataire de la paix de brest-litovsk\u2026 l'organisateur de l'armée rouge´ (translation: ´ the old companion of lenin, the signatory of the peace of brest-litovsk\u2026 the organiser of the red army ´). the text concludes by quoting trotsky's vision of socialism as a passage ´du règne de la nécessité dans le règne de la liberté´ (translation: ´ from the realm of necessity into the realm of freedom ´). some very light, extremely minor age wear, about ex \n an important and scarce document marking a significant stage in the developing relationship between surrealism and trotskyism. trotsky had been expelled from the soviet union in 1929 and, following several years of exile in turkey, was granted permission to reside in france in 1933. his presence near paris subsequently became the subject of intense press and political controversy, and in april 1934 the french government ordered his expulsion. the title of the present tract, la planète sans visa (the planet without a visa), was borrowed from the final chapter of trotsky's autobiography and poignantly reflected the increasingly stateless existence of the revolutionary exile.  \n the tract appeared at a moment of heightened political tension in france following the violent disturbances of 6th february 1934 and the formation of the government of gaston doumergue. breton and his fellow surrealists interpret the action against trotsky within the wider context of repression against the revolutionary left, while significantly maintaining their independence by expressly stating that they did not share all of trotsky's contemporary political views.  \n the declaration is particularly notable as an early document in andré breton's increasingly sympathetic engagement with trotsky. four years later, in 1938, breton travelled to mexico and met the exiled revolutionary, their discussions providing the basis for the celebrated manifesto for an independent revolutionary art, issued under the names of breton and diego rivera. la planète sans visa therefore anticipates one of the most consequential encounters between the political and artistic avant-gardes of the interwar period."},"estimateMax":300,"lotNumber":"875","title":{"es":"[surrealist manifesto]: [trotsky leon]: (1879-1940)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/146871/view","tags":["escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":200,"soldPrice":280,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T12:58:17.941Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac200 -

bringing her eyes closer together, thus transforming her into a ghost....´ ), as well as the importance modigliani attached to his jewish heritage ´..... rare entre les juifs de son milieu, il

raspail, frequented by artists and writers including pablo picasso, diego rivera, fernand léger, max jacob, jean cocteau, erik satie and amedeo modigliani. together with her companion, the painter serge férat, she also helped finance and promote the influential review les soirées de paris , associated with guillaume apollinaire.  \n oettingen knew modigliani personally from his early years in montparnasse and belonged to the close-knit circle that gathered around the café de la rotonde. her affectionate sobriquet for the artist\u2014´le prince en haillons´ (´the prince in rags´)\u2014perfectly encapsulated the striking contrast between modigliani's aristocratic bearing and the poverty in which he lived. written only months after the artist's death in january 1920 and published in action in december of the same year, the present manuscript is one of the earliest substantial tributes to modigliani by a friend and contemporary. as such, it occupies an important place in the formation of the artist's posthumous legend as the quintessential artiste maudit."},"estimateMax":30000,"lotNumber":"892","title":{"es":"[modigliani amedeo]: (1884-1920) oettingen hélène:

hartford was notably sympathetic to dalí's later work. the present loan agreement consequently documents the return to public view, in a major retrospective devoted to the sixty-one-year-old artist, of one of the formative self-portraits he had painted as a teenager more than four decades earlier."},"estimateMax":1200,"lotNumber":"905","title":{"es":"dali salvador: (1904-1989) & dali gala: (1894-1982)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/146901/view","tags":["escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":800,"soldPrice":2000,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T13:22:01.088Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac800 - \u20ac1,200","currency":"EUR","id":146901,"estimateMin":800},{"startPrice":3000,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146902/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146902/004/004.jpg"],"soldDate":"2026-09-24","available":false,"description":{"es":"dali salvador: (1904-1989) spanish surrealist artist. book signed and with original drawings, being a softcover edition of wine, women and words by billy rose, illustrated by salvador dalí, published by simon and schuster, new york, 1948. the large 4to edition, comprising 128 pages and bound in the publisher's original pictorial wrappers designed by dalí, features numerous illustrations by the artist throughout. signed ( ´dali´ ) by the artist to a clear area at the foot of the title page, also adding two attractive original drawings in pen, ink and wash, heightened in red, in his hand, depicting a bullfighter wearing a traditional montera and holding a sword and vivid red muleta to the left, and a slender female figure in theatrical costume, standing with both arms dramatically raised, to the right. the binding a little loose and with some light age wear and minor staining, g \n billy rose (1899-1966), the celebrated american theatrical impresario, lyricist and showman, published wine, women and words in 1948 as a characteristically colourful collection of autobiographical reminiscences and anecdotes from his career in american entertainment. dalí supplied an extensive series of illustrations for the volume, including a portrait of rose and numerous full-page and smaller compositions. the association between the two men had begun several years earlier: in 1944 rose commissioned dalí to execute a series of paintings for his broadway revue the seven lively arts, although the works were subsequently destroyed in a fire at the ziegfeld theatre."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"906","title":{"es":"dali salvador: (1904-1989)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/146902/view","tags":["escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","esart_drawings","esart","escollectibles_all","esart_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":2800,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T13:22:37.404Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 - \u20ac4,000","currency":"EUR","id":146902,"estimateMin":3000},{"startPrice":5000,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146903/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146903/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/146903/006/006.jpg"],"soldDate":"2026-09-24","available":false,"description":{"es":"dali salvador: (1904-1989) spanish surrealist artist &  dali gala: (1894-1982) russian artist´s model and muse, the wife of paul eluard (from 1917-29) and later of salvador dali (from 1934). a joint a.l.s., salvador dali (with three words in his hand) and gala (who writes the main body of text), three pages, 8vo, n.p.

(brumath, alsace), n.d. (1940), to wanda kosakiewicz ( ´ma douce petite wanda´ ), in french. sartre writes an intimate love letter, commencing by blaming the post office for not having delivered a letter from her yesterday, ´j\u2019ai tellement confiance en toi, depuis ce séjour. et puis il me semble que si jamais tu te tais un jour ou deux (mais surtout ne va pas te croire encouragée à le faire) ça ne me fera plus du tout pareil, parce que je t\u2019ai vue plus d\u2019une fois, envoûtée et cherchant à sortir de ta petite cage de brume et n\u2019y parvenant pas, et j\u2019imagine, à présent, comment ça doit te faire, quand tu n\u2019écris pas et que pourtant tu n\u2019es pas coupée de moi. tu sais, je suis tout riche de toi, tous ces temps, inépuisablement riche, tu es toujours avec moi, je ne te quitte pas

please don\u2019t take that as encouragement to do so), it wouldn\u2019t affect me in quite the same way, because i\u2019ve seen you more than once, spellbound and trying to break free from your little cage of mist, yet unable to do so, and i can imagine now how it must feel for you, when you\u2019re not writing and yet you\u2019re not cut off from me. you know, i\u2019m so rich because of you, all this time, inexhaustibly rich; you\u2019re always with me, i never leave you, and you too, my love, you\u2019re my wonderful love´ ). sartre continues in an intensely introspective and rhapsodic vein, describing the almost intoxicating effect of wanda's presence upon his imagination and reflecting upon the emotional transformation their relationship has brought about in him, ´je voudrais pouvoir t\u2019expliquer comment toute chose de cette ville en est transformée, plus légère et moins présente. ça fait comme un petit recul poétique dans le passé. hier au restaurant de l\u2019écrevisse, je tenais si fort à toi, pendant que pieter me racontait ses histoires de démêlés financiers avec son beau-frère, que je me suis un peu saoulé. pas beaucoup, juste un peu. je ne saurais pas bien te dire pourquoi mais ça me faisait fort de perdre la tête en toi. j\u2019imaginais bien que c\u2019était le café et pieter qui allaient s\u2019amincir jusqu\u2019à la transparence et que toi tu resterais tout contre moi, lourde et opaque comme une présence. c\u2019est arrivé: j\u2019étais seul avec toi, violemment seul. et je pensais à tout ce que tu m\u2019avais dit au normandie, sur les objets ´nègres´ dans le monde et sur cet inconnu qui était pour toi une histoire de personne avec une personne ; je me suis rappelé ta tête un peu penchée de côté (sic) , tu étais belle. et j\u2019ai pensé que tu étais formidablement romanesque et émouvante. j\u2019ai compris aussi qu\u2019il y avait à présent et pour toujours quelque chose de complètement dégelé en moi, une méfiance de vieux qui me restait encore de l\u2019histoire avec olga [la sœur de wanda] et de nos premiers rapports à toi et à moi. je me sentais jeune et naïf, tu sais (ça devrait être un peu l\u2019effet du vin). et puis on est parti et pieter m\u2019a emmené chez sa blanchisseuse; il apportait des chocolats au gosse de la blanchisseuse, il a parlé, ils ont remercié, ça me faisait extraordinaire d\u2019être là, au milieu de ces gens, j\u2019étais complètement dépaysé, mais ça n\u2019était pas déplaisant, c\u2019était plutôt fort. d\u2019ailleurs je suis presque tout le temps dépaysé en ce moment. ça fait un drôle d\u2019état qui serait inquiétant si je ne le favorisais un peu. je t\u2019aime. mon seul sujet d\u2019inquiétude c\u2019est que je t\u2019ai laissée sinistre et pas trop bien portante, je voudrais savoir´ (translation: ´ i wish i could explain to you how everything in this city is transformed by it, lighter and less present. it\u2019s like a little poetic step back into the past. yesterday at the crayfish restaurant, i was clinging to you so tightly, whilst pieter was telling me his stories of financial disputes with his brother-in-law, that i got a bit tipsy. not much, just a little. i can\u2019t quite tell you why, but it felt powerful to lose my head in you. i could well imagine that it was the coffee and pieter who would fade away until they were transparent, and that you would stay right up against me, heavy and opaque like a presence. it happened: i was alone with you, violently alone. and i thought about everything you\u2019d told me at the normandie, about \u2018negro\u2019 artefacts in the world and about that stranger who, for you, was a story of one person with another; i remembered your head tilted slightly to one side, you were beautiful. and i thought you were wonderfully romantic and moving. i also realised that there was now, and would always be, something completely thawed within me \u2013 an old man\u2019s wariness that still lingered from my history with olga [wanda\u2019s sister] and from our early interactions, yours and mine. i felt young and naïve, you know (it must have been partly down to the wine). and then we left and pieter took me to his laundress\u2019s; he was bringing some chocolates for the laundress\u2019s child, he chatted, they thanked him \u2013 it felt extraordinary to be there, amongst these people; i felt completely out of my element, but it wasn\u2019t unpleasant, it was rather powerful. in fact, i feel out of my depth almost all the time at the moment. it\u2019s a strange state of affairs that would be worrying if i weren\u2019t encouraging it a little. i love you. my only concern is that i left you looking rather gloomy and not in the best of health; i\u2019d like to know how you\u2019re getting on´ ). sartre also writes with remarkable tenderness and psychological intimacy of wanda's anxieties and the vulnerability she inspires in him, ´tu me fais si fragile. tu m\u2019as dit que j\u2019étais le seul qui ne te traitait pas aux bains froids quand tu étais nerveuse. c\u2019est que je prends tes nervosités profondément au sérieux. je pense que c\u2019est toi. et je vois bien ce fond d\u2019angoisse qui est toi. tu es toute entière une petite angoisse. je voudrais tant être près de toi, comme lorsque tu t\u2019endors dans mes bras, pour endormir un petit moment cette angoisse, ça me fait comme une saloperie (hélas, je suis bien innocent) de ne pas toujours être là, pour être ta sécurité´ (translation: ´you make me feel so fragile. you told me i was the only one who didn\u2019t subject you to cold showers when you were on edge. it\u2019s just that i take your anxiety very seriously. i think it\u2019s you. and i can clearly see that underlying anxiety that is you. you are, in your entirety, a little bundle of anxiety. i\u2019d so love to be close to you, just as when you fall asleep in my arms, to lull that anxiety to sleep for a little while; it makes me feel like a proper wretch (alas, i\u2019m quite innocent) not always being there to be your rock´ ) and in concluding informs wanda that he will be leaving at dawn tomorrow to carry out some live-fire exercises, and bond as a unit, ´en soi ça n\u2019a rien de déplaisant, je verrai du pays et j\u2019entendrai tonner des canons. mais c\u2019est comme une absence de deux jours par rapport à toi´ (translation: ´in itself, there\u2019s nothing unpleasant about it; i\u2019ll see the countryside and hear the cannons roaring. but it feels like being away from you for two days´ ) before declaring ´je t\u2019aime passionnément´ (translation: ´i love you passionately´ ). a remarkable and deeply intimate love letter, revealing sartre at his most emotionally vulnerable and providing a compelling counterpoint between the intensity of his passion for wanda and the realities of his wartime military service. a few minor, light stains to the upper edges of some pages, not affecting the text, vg \n wanda kosakiewicz (1917-1989) french actress of ukrainian origin, later known professionally as marie olivier. the younger sister of olga kosakiewicz, she became a member of the intimate circle surrounding sartre and simone de beauvoir and one of sartre's so-called amours contingentes. sartre met wanda in 1937 and became deeply enamoured of her, their relationship reaching particular intensity during his military service in alsace in 1939-40; he even contemplated marrying her in 1940.  \n written during the drôle de guerre, when sartre was serving as a meteorologist with the french army in alsace, the present letter vividly reflects the intensity of his relationship with wanda during their enforced separation. his repeated declarations of love and desire to comfort her contrast strikingly with the circumstances of military life which intrude towards the conclusion, as he prepares to leave at dawn for firing exercises twenty kilometres

september 1944, to rené maublanc, secretary-general of the ministry of national education, in french. joliot-curie writes to set out his plan to restructure french scientific research, and urges maublanc to ask the minister to summon charles jacob and offer him a place on the steering committee of the national centre for scientific research (cnrs) with a view to reforming it, ´j´ai eu un longue conversation avec m. jacob, conversation franche et cordiale et je sais que nous pouvons compter sur sa participation à la réorganisation scientifique de cet organisme. nous devons reconnaitre que durant les quatre années passées m. jacob a parfaitement organisé l´administration et à maintes occasions a soutenu publiquement en commission la cause des boursiers israélites et s´est souvent opposé à l´action nocive du ministre bonnat........il était opposé cependant à la nomination, faite par vichy, de donoyer collaborateur connu de tous, et qui j´espère devrait être prêté´ (translation: ´i had a long conversation with mr jacob\u2014a frank and cordial conversation\u2014and i know that we can count on his participation in the scientific reorganisation of this body. we must acknowledge

frequently opposing the harmful actions of minister bonnat.......he was, however, opposed to the appointment, made by vichy, of donoyer\u2014a collaborator known to all\u2014who, i hope, will be removed ´ ). joliot-curie believes, however, that jacob lacks the personality and the ideas necessary for a thorough reorganisation of scientific research, remarking ´pour celle-ci, il faut unir en un grand comité directeur les hommes de sciences distribués dans toute la france ayant donné des preuves indiscutables de leur valeur. ce grand comité sera divisé en sections de travail composé de 5 à 10 membres spécialisés dans des domaines de recherche´ (translation: ´to achieve this, it is necessary to bring together in a large steering committee the scientists scattered throughout france who have provided indisputable proof of their worth. this large committee will be divided into working sections comprising between 5 and 10 members specialising in specific fields of research´ ), adding that they will be overseen by an executive board chaired by himself, and explaining ´le comité directeur comprendra une section administrative chargée de toutes les questions budgétaires, gestion administrative du centre etc. j´ai déjà réuni une trentaine de chercheurs bien connus en france et à l´étranger, chercheurs en pleine activité et j´ai senti l´enthousiasme pour le projet que je leur ai présenté. en une phrase, je voudrais faire participer effectivement les hommes en pleine activité productice à la direction du centre sans que cet effort nuise à la marche de leurs travaux respectifs. nous créons ainsi une force avec l´ensemble des chercheurs, force qu´il sera difficilé de négliger, lorsque par suite des changements de ministères les directeurs viennent à changer´ (translation: ´the steering committee will include an administrative section responsible for all budgetary matters, the centre\u2019s administrative management, and so on. i have already brought together some thirty researchers who are well known in france and abroad, all of whom are currently active in their fields, and i have sensed their enthusiasm for the project i presented to them. in a

work. in this way, we are creating a collective strength amongst all the researchers\u2014a force that will be difficult to ignore when, as a result of ministerial changes, directors come and go´ ). the physicist also expresses a determination to speed up the creation of this new organisation in order to cut the ground from under the feet of the former director of scientific research in africa, laugier, ´si le comité directeur est crée à temps, avec les hommes qu´il convient, il sera impossible de se servir du centre comme situation tremplin pour des influences politiques malsaines´ (translation: ´if the steering committee is set up in time, with the right people, it will be impossible to use the centre as a springboard for unhealthy political influence´ ) and adds that he must leave paris on a very important mission, before concluding by writing ´les premiers éléments russes du c.d. sont au travail pour son extension & dès le début de la semaine prochaine nous aurons déjà

regarded as a landmark in the history of the academy, reflecting the growing recognition of scientific achievement alongside literature and the humanities within french intellectual life.  \n in his discours de réception, pasteur modestly attributed the honour not to himself but to science, declaring that the distinction conferred upon him belonged to scientific endeavour as a whole. he paid generous tribute to littré's monumental scholarship while arguing that the discoveries of modern science had become one of the principal forces shaping civilisation. the address also reflected pasteur's long-held conviction that scientific inquiry and religious faith were fundamentally compatible.  \n the official reply was delivered by the writer and historian ernest renan, who praised pasteur as one of the foremost benefactors of humanity. acknowledging that the academy was honouring not merely a distinguished scientist but a man whose discoveries had transformed medicine, agriculture, and industry, renan welcomed pasteur as evidence that the sciences and the humanities together formed the foundation of french intellectual culture. the speeches remain among the most

 \n bonnejoy ernest: (1833-1896) french physician and pioneering advocate of vegetarianism, one of the founders of the société végétarienne de france. an important and substantial autograph manuscript, signed, 329 numbered leaves, 8vo, n.p., c.1891, in french. the complete and definitive manuscript of bonnejoy's \n le végétarisme et le régime végétarien rationnel \u2013 dogmatisme, histoire, pratique , published by librairie de j. b. baillière et fils, paris, 1891, for the \n bibliothèque scientifique contemporaine . the manuscript incorporates various printed documents laid down to the pages and corrected proof sheets, and is bound in modest boards with a spine of reused antique vellum. the volume opens with bonnejoy's attractive pictorial ex libris, \n \u201cex libris docteur bonnejoy\u201d , featuring an open book and the motto \n \u201csalus ex aquis\u201d (\u201c \n health from the waters \u201d), and is further embellished with his blue circular ownership stamps. to the following leaf appears a second, portrait ex libris and an important autograph presentation inscription, signed ( \n ´ \n e. bonnejoy´ ), to his childhood friend and medical colleague dr subert of nevers and the members of the société nivernaise des sciences. bonnejoy explicitly identifies the volume as his original manuscript, writing \n \u201cje dédie ce manuscrit original du premier ouvrage sur la matière, publié par le corps médical français. \u2014 comme un hommage à la ville où j'ai d'abord été initié jadis à la vie intellectuelle et scientifique\u201d (translation: \u201c \n i dedicate this original manuscript of the first work on the subject published by the french medical profession \u2014 as a tribute to the town where, long ago, i was first initiated into intellectual and scientific life \u201d). \n also included within the volume is the autograph manuscript of the introduction by georges dujardin-beaumetz and five further autograph \n letters signed by the distinguished physician . a remarkable and comprehensive early treatise on vegetarianism in which bonnejoy advocates what he terms \n \u201cvégétarisme rationnel\u201d , seeking to establish vegetarianism upon scientific, medical and physiological principles rather than principally upon moral or humanitarian considerations. explaining his position, bonnejoy writes \n \u201cle motif invoqué pour l'adhésion du végétarisme varie un peu, à l'étranger, mais peut se résumer dans la plupart, dans l'esprit religieux doublé d'amour des bêtes. celui que j'invoque pour ma doctrine, c\u2019est la raison scientifique appuyée sur les déductions médicales et physiologiques, d\u2019où le nom de \u2018rationnel\u2019 que j'y ajoute\u201d (translation: \u201c \n the reason given for adopting vegetarianism varies somewhat abroad, but in most cases may be summarised as a religious conviction coupled with a love of animals. the reason i put forward for my doctrine is scientific reason, supported by medical and physiological deductions, hence the term \u2018rational\u2019 which i add to it \u201d). nevertheless, bonnejoy frequently employs the provocative term \n \u201cnécrophages\u201d (\u201c \n eaters of the dead \u201d) to describe consumers of meat. the exhaustive work is divided into three principal sections \u2013 \n dogmatique , \n historique and \n pratique . in the first bonnejoy formulates three fundamental axioms of rational vegetarianism. the first maintains that \n \u201cla force reconstituante générale de l\u2019aliment réside là où la nature a mis la vie en puissance de se développer\u201d (translation: \u201c \n the general restorative power of food lies where nature has placed the potential for life to develop \u201d), namely in cereals, seeds, certain roots, tubers and flowers, fruit, eggs and milk and its derivatives. meat, conversely, is characterised as \n \u201cchair du cadavre alimentaire\u201d (\u201c \n the flesh of the alimentary carcass \u201d), a form of \n \u201ccaput mortuum\u201d which has already exhausted its nutritional cycle and may contain toxins, ptomaines, microbes and waste products, bonnejoy declaring \n \u201cla mort, ou ses produits, ne sauraient entretenir normalement la vie et la santé\u201d (translation: \u201c \n death, or its products, cannot normally sustain life and health \u201d). his second axiom demands absolute purity and freshness in everything introduced into the body and the complete avoidance of adulterated or fraudulently manipulated food, whilst the third recommends, wherever practicable, the preparation or production of food and drink in the home. bonnejoy concludes that these principles embrace the theory and practical application of his doctrine, observing \n \u201ctout homme intelligent, en les suivant à la lettre, peut, s\u2019il veut strictement s\u2019y soumettre, faire du végétarisme dans les meilleures conditions\u201d (translation: \u201c \n any intelligent person, by following them to the letter, can, if they wish to adhere strictly to them, practise vegetarianism under the best possible conditions \u201d). the extensive historical section traces vegetarianism from antiquity through the church fathers, middle ages, renaissance and enlightenment, invoking such celebrated figures as montaigne, benjamin franklin, lamartine and michelet. bonnejoy maintains that the superiority of vegetarianism over meat-eating \n \u201cest prouvée par quatre mille ans d\u2019existence. sur tous les points du globe, on rencontre le végétarisme : depuis les mages de l'inde, les sages de l'egypte et les pythagoriciens de la grèce et d'alexandrie, jusqu'aux pères de l'eglise chrétienne, aux cénobites du moyen age, aux ordres religieux de l'europe ou aux sociétés anglaises, américaines, etc.\u201d (translation: \u201c \n is proven by four thousand years of existence. vegetarianism is found in every corner of the globe: from the magi of india, the sages of egypt and the pythagoreans of greece and alexandria, to the fathers of the christian church, the monastics of the middle ages, the religious orders of europe, and english and american societies etc .\u201d). his survey extends geographically to england, germany and switzerland, examining the particular development and practice of vegetarianism in each country. among the manuscript's more unexpected passages is bonnejoy's consideration of vegetarianism and women's dress. attacking the restrictive fashions of the period, he declares \n \u201cles végétariennes laissent aux nécrophages l'usage meurtrier, mais tout aussi tenace chez ces dernières, du corset trop serré ou cuirassé de baleines et tiges d'acier ; qui déforme les organes, obstrue leurs fonctions, les resserre et les étranglent\u201d (translation: \u201c \n vegetarian women leave to the meat-eaters the deadly, yet equally persistent amongst the latter, practice of the excessively tight corset, reinforced with whalebone and steel rods, which deforms the organs, obstructs their functions, constricts and strangles them \u201d). bonnejoy further devotes considerable attention to the supposed therapeutic properties of vegetarianism, discussing its application to conditions including nephritis, diabetes, scurvy and rheumatism. his argument combines contemporary nutritional science with hygienic principles, asserting, for example, \n \u201cla nourriture végétale est environ deux fois plus riche en phosphore et par conséquent en phosphates que la nourriture animale\u201d (translation: \u201c \n plant-based food is approximately twice as rich in phosphorus and consequently in phosphates as animal food \u201d). the final, practical section contains extensive dietary advice, recipes and a \n \u201ccalendrier végétarien\u201d listing, month by month, the fruit and vegetables appropriate to each season. among the more engaging recipes is that for \n \u201cgrenouilles aux épinards\u201d (\u201c \n frogs with spinach \u201d), which, despite its name, contains no frogs whatsoever, but instead employs a mixture of bread rolls, chopped parsley and chervil, eggs, butter and spinach. bonnejoy concludes his vast survey with the characteristically uncompromising declaration \n \u201cle végétarisme est une doctrine supérieure destinée à l'élite des intelligences, parce qu'elle contribue à les produire\u201d (translation: \u201c \n vegetarianism is a superior doctrine intended for the intellectual elite, because it helps to produce them \u201d). \n georges dujardin-beaumetz (1833-1895) french physician, therapist and hygienist who served at the hôpital cochin in paris and was a member of the académie de médecine. his introduction to bonnejoy's work lent the treatise the authority of one of france's prominent contemporary medical practitioners; significantly, the present volume preserves the introduction in dujardin-beaumetz's own hand, together with five further autograph letters signed. an exceptional primary document in the history of vegetarianism, preserving the complete working manuscript of one of the most ambitious nineteenth-century french attempts to provide vegetarianism with a systematic scientific, historical, medical and practical foundation. its combination of nutritional theory, medical argument, historical research, international comparison, social commentary and practical dietary instruction provides a particularly revealing record of the emergence of vegetarianism as an organised health and lifestyle movement in fin-de-siècle france. a manuscript of considerable interest to the history of medicine, nutrition and vegetarianism. some light overall age wear,

carl: (1875-1961) swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. an exceptional a.l.s.,  c. g. jung , three pages, 4to, küsnacht, zurich, 5th september 1927, to miss. morrison. jung apologises for the delay in replying to his correspondent´s letter ( ´i am flooded with letters, which i cannot answer in time´ ) and continues to provide an extraordinary medical consultation, ´your request is unusual, and my answer will hardly be satisfactory. i should see the woman personally, because the solution of her problem can be only individual. there are no general prescriptions or established laws along which she would find an easy path through life´ , explaining that he will try and answer morrison´s questions honestly and hopes that she will be discrete with his opinions, continuing ´the woman in question should decidedly not wall herself up in the line of affections. she must apply them as much as possible. but you gave me incomplete information: is she anatomically a  hermaphroditic i.e. are her external genitals male and female? is there a vagina, that would allow a normal sex intercourse? or is there a penis or testicles that would force her to function like a man?´ , requesting a careful medical statement on the matter, and further writing ´practically all the symptoms you describe are symptoms of accumulated psychic energy that has not found a proper way in applying itself. it is therefore of utmost importance, that she sees free way ahead of her. she must give herself the chance of loving somebody. she ought to have a friend. if she is homosexual, let her love a woman. there are many women quite ready to answer a homosexual penchant. under almost all conditions it is more moral to live than to suffocate oneself. only in an intimate friendship she is able to reveal her conditions without too great a shock. she ought to do it not withstanding disappointments. in case of sex intercourse pregnancy ought to be avoided, because there is a chance of anomalies in the child. by all means she should try to squeeze herself into human community. isolation would mean neurosis´ , and also explaining ´the question, how she is going to reconcile her unbalanced emotional nature, is a question of psychological development, with other words, she should undergo a psychological treatment. it is unfortunately quite impossible to deal with such a question by letter. since the case seems to live in california i suggest she should have a serious talk with mrs. e. whitney (she is a doctor and the wife of dr. whitney in san francisco). she knows my method and she could give you valuable information´ . jung concludes by stating ´generally your case needs a great deal of courage and she should not be afraid to risk herself. of course she should not foolishly trust herself to anybody, but she should make it a task to herself to find somebody that would love her sufficiently. love is the only thing that makes even an abnormal life bearable and even useful´ and requests that morrison send $15 for his advice. a letter of important content. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg \n dr. elizabeth goodrich whitney (1885\u20131966) and her husband, dr james lyman whitney, were san francisco physicians who travelled to zurich in 1926\u201327 specifically to undergo analysis with jung. they returned to the bay area in 1927 and began practising jungian analysis there.  \n jung's letter is of particular interest in relation to his developing theories concerning the psychological significance of hermaphroditism and homosexuality. within his analytical psychology, the hermaphrodite represented a primordial union of masculine and feminine elements, reflected psychologically in the complementary archetypes of the anima and animus. jung regarded homosexuality not simply as a pathological condition but, in certain circumstances, as an expression of an incomplete separation from this primordial \u201chermaphroditic\u201d state, and believed that the resolution of such conflicts formed part of the individual's psychological development. in the present letter, his advice is strikingly direct and comparatively open for its period: rather than recommending repression or isolation, he urges the woman to seek friendship and emotional fulfilment, explicitly stating that, if she is homosexual, she should allow herself to love a woman. he identifies isolation and the suppression of emotional and sexual energies as potentially more damaging than the unconventional nature of the relationship itself, while recommending psychological treatment as the means by which her \u201cunbalanced emotional nature\u201d might be reconciled."},"estimateMax":60000,"lotNumber":"1120","title":{"es":"jung

john f.: (1917-1963) american president 1961-63. a good autograph manuscript, unsigned, fourteen pages (separate leaves, written to the rectos only), 8vo, n.p., n.d. (circa august 1952). the manuscript, almost entirely composed in ink (with just the first five lines of the first page written in bold pencil), is an incomplete early draft, with various corrections, of kennedy´s speech made at the 66th annual convention of the massachusetts federation of labor on 13th august 1952, during his campaign for the senate, and states, in part, ´....problems of special interest and vital significance to men and women whom you represent. foremost among such problems and dwarfing all others has been the steady upward rise in the cost of living - and which threatens now to move to higher levels - and to destroy to an increasing degree everything that the people of this country have earned with their own hard work and conscientious efforts. the weaknesses of the 1951 price control law, which prohibited beef price roll-backs.....which continued the provision of the 1950 and which states price controls or a ceiling cannot be imposed on any agricultural commodity.....were enhanced by the actions of the congress during this most recent session......the lifting of controls of fruits & raw vegetables, the emasculation of the wage stabilization section, the whole sale firing of over 6000 employees charged with enforcement for price controls has made all of our tasks more difficult......controls however is only one of the major problems that will challenge the 83rd congress. the necessity of increasing our social security benefits and old age assistance payments - to lessen the effects of the increase in their cost of living - to lift the minimum wage from 75 cents and to extend its coverage, particularly in industries that compete with ours in new england, to permit unions to organize their membership more freely without federal impediment - to carry through the long term promises to guarantee equality of opportunity in employment. these are only some of the actions that must be taken if we are not to bring to a halt the social advances of the last two decades initiated by president roosevelt and to be continued by president adlai stevenson. some of you may.....be wondering which party may be the proper custodian of this country´s destinies......we can only judge each parties (sic) future actions by its past performances, not by the soft promises of candidates which failed to give the president the authority to curb.....profiteering´ . a rare manuscript of excellent content and political significance. vg \n in august 1952 the young john f. kennedy stood before the massachusetts federation of labor not yet as a national icon, but as an ambitious congressman fighting for a senate seat in a tense and uncertain america. the speech revealed a politician already skilled at blending idealism with hard-edged realism. kennedy spoke to union workers at a moment when the optimism that followed world war ii had given way to anxiety over inflation, the korean war, and the growing shadow of soviet power. his speech was rooted in bread-and-butter democratic politics. speaking to organized labor, kennedy defended the social and economic gains of the new deal years and warned against rolling them back. he linked rising living costs, wage protections, social security, and workers\u2019 rights to the broader promise of american democracy itself. his appeal was practical as much as ideological: prosperity and fairness at home, strength and vigilance abroad.  seen in retrospect, this 1952 speech offers an early blueprint of the kennedy political identity that would later captivate the country. the rhetoric lacked the soaring elegance of his presidential years, but the themes were already in place \u2014 generational change, national purpose, social responsibility, and resistance to authoritarianism. long before the white house, kennedy was already crafting the language of postwar american liberalism."},"estimateMax":8000,"lotNumber":"1277","title":{"es":"kennedy john f.: (1917-1963) ´ these are only some of the actions that must be taken if we are not to bring to a halt the social advances of the last two decades initiated by president roosevelt´"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/80251/lot/147273/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":5000,"soldPrice":4500,"lastUpdate":"2026-09-24T18:15:29.682Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac5,000 -
