‎WOOLF VIRGINIA; FREUND GISALE‎

‎Photograph of Virginia Woolf signed by Gisèle Freund‎

‎London: np 1939. First edition. Framed. Fine. THE MOST CELEBRATED PHOTOGRAPH FROM VIRGINIA WOOLF'S LAST SITTING WITH A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER; GISÈLE FREUND'S PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THIS SITTING ARE THE ONLY COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS EVER TAKEN OF WOOLF. "Woolf was acutely self-conscious and disliked sitting for pictures never mind 'seeing herself'. But a few rare portraits often by her family or friends capture her inner spirit. Freund's images taken just before the outbreak of war in 1939 are extremely valuable for not only are they unique in showing Woolf in her London home but they are in colour. Freund pioneered colour photography and made portraits of James Joyce Samuel Beckett Aldous Huxley and many other writers.<br /> <br /> "Freund was twice refused admission to Tavistock Square but eventually Woolf succumbed. She agreed to change her clothes to see which best suited the colour harmony. In some of the prints Woolf is pale and lined in others smiling a little and more youthful. The background of fabrics and mural panels by Bell and Grant adds to the value of the images; this was the inner sanctum of the queen of Bloomsbury where parties were given and friends came to tea. Just over a year later the house was destroyed in the blitz but for some time mural panels were left hanging on the wall open to the weather as recorded later by the Woolfs' friends Stephen Spender and William Plomer as the last vestiges of a disappearing world." Richard Shone "Portraits of Virginia Woolf: here the true face of the modern writer" The Guardian 20 June 2014.<br /> <br /> "Freund who was closely associated in Paris with Sylvia Beach her bookshop Shakespeare & Company and its visiting authors including James Joyce specialised in photographs of writers. Indeed it was Joyce who suggested that she should add to her collection by going to London. He assured her that if English writers knew she had photographed him and that he was pleased with the results they would readily agree to sit for her. This proved correct and she successfully photographed T.S. Eliot Elizabeth Bowen George Bernard Shaw Vita Sackville-West who also provided her with a letter of introduction Herbert Read and Peggy Guggenheim Victoria Ocampo and Hugh Walpole.<br /> <br /> "Virginia Woolf however initially turned her down. That is until Victoria Ocampo the wealthy Argentinian founder and publisher of the literary review Sur whom Woolf admired turned up at Tavistock Square with Freund in tow in order to show Woolf contact sheets of the literary men and women Freund had photographed.<br /> <br /> "Under pressure Woolf gave in and a sitting was arranged for later that same day. Woolf 's diary written before the afternoon session commenced reveals much irritation: 'No getting out of it with Okampo sic on the sofa & Freund there in the flesh. So my afternoon is gone in the way to me most detestable and upsetting of all.' Freund had recently begun working with colour film which had just come on to the market and Woolf dreaded becoming a 'life-sized life coloured animated photograph' yet it pleased her that at her request Leonard would also be photographed.<br /> <br /> "She left no account of this sitting but we can deduce from details supplied by Freund and from other clues that it was an unexpected success. Perhaps Woolf 's dread was removed by Joyce's message or Vita Sackville-West's introductory letter for the photographs show that she willingly collaborated: in fact she offered to show Freund her wardrobe so that she could help choose the most suitable clothes and three times changed her blouse and once the jacket she was wearing.<br /> <br /> "At one point she proudly informed Freund that there had been a celebrated photographer in her own family and she brought out a copy of the book that the Hogarth Press had published of Julia Margaret Cameron's photographs with essays by herself and Roger Fry and this she inscribed to Freund.<br /> <br /> "Out of this session came some of the most eloquent photo-portraits of Woolf ever produced. They vary in mood as outward composure gives way to melancholy introspection. They are also the only colour photographs of Woolf ever taken. For technical reasons it was not possible to publish them in colour at the time and for many years they were known only in black-and-white format.<br /> <br /> "After a bomb had sliced open the house in October 1940 and destroyed the better part of this room the decorations on the fireplace wall could be seen from the street below a fragile reminder of a different age a different way of life." Frances Spalding "The last photograph of Virginia Woolf" The Telegraph July 9 2014. <br /> <br /> Size: 8x12 in. 21x30 cm. Framed: 17x21 in. 43x53 cm.<br /> <br /> Chromogenic print. Taken June 1939; printed later likely c.1970s. Signed by Freund on back beneath Freund's stamped address and credit. Freund's blindstamp at bottom right of image. Elegantly framed with archival matting and UV-protecting museum glass. <br /> <br /> A stunning image in fine condition. np unknown books‎

‎De 1960 à 1969, Leonard Woolf (1880-1969) raconte en cinq volumes de souvenirs sa vie, ses engagements divers dans le mouvement travailliste, ses activités littéraires, journalistiques. Leonard et Virginia Woolf s’étaient établis pendant la guerre dans leur propriété du Sussex, à Rodmell. C’est là que Virginia Woolf se suicide le 28 mars 1941. Sur avis médical, le couple n’avait pas eu d’enfant. — Diplômé de Trinity College, Cambridge, en 1903, Woolf prépare le concours d’entrée à la fonction publique qu’il réussit en 1904. Il est aussitôt envoyé comme administrateur colonial à Ceylan où il demeure jusqu’en 1911. Comme l’expérience coloniale avait éveillé chez lui un besoin de prendre des responsabilités civiques, il démissionne en 1912 et se met à étudier le système social cependant que la misère qu’il découvre alors dans les taudis de l’East End convertit ce libéral au socialisme. C’est dans le mouvement coopérateur qu’il commence par s’engager, car il voit là le meilleur moyen de remplacer le capitalisme. En 1912, il avait épousé la fille de Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia, la célèbre romancière. Avec elle, il fonde une maison d’édition, Hogarth Press, qui tout en ne publiant que des œuvres de qualité, se révèle être un succès commercial. Au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, Leonard Woolf, passionné de réconciliation entre les peuples, fonde dans ce but une association en faveur d’une société des nations (League of Nations Association qui deviendra la League of Nations Union)...

‎nouvelle édition, 1980 Contents, Chapitres : Virginia Woolf, née Adeline Virginia Alexandra Stephen le 25 janvier 1882 à Londres et morte le 28 mars 1941 à Rodmell (Royaume-Uni), est une femme de lettres anglaise. Elle est l'un des principaux auteurs modernistes du XXe siècle. Dans l'entre-deux-guerres, elle est une figure marquante de la société littéraire londonienne et un membre central du Bloomsbury Group, qui réunit des écrivains, artistes et philosophes anglais. Les romans Mrs Dalloway (1925), La Promenade au phare (1927), Orlando (1928) et Les Vagues (1937), ainsi que l'essai féministe Une chambre à soi (1929), demeurent parmi ses écrits les plus célèbres. - Une chambre à soi (titre original : A Room of One's Own) est un essai pamphlétaire de Virginia Woolf, publié pour la première fois en 1929. Il se base sur plusieurs conférences données par Woolf en octobre 1928 dans deux collèges de l'université Cambridge qui étaient alors réservés aux femmes, Newnham College et Girton College. Le sujet principal de ce texte est la place des auteurs de sexe féminin dans l'histoire de la littérature, principalement dans le contexte britannique. Woolf se penche sur les facteurs qui ont entravé l'accession des femmes à l'éducation, à la production littéraire et au succès. L'une de ses thèses principales, qui a donné son titre à l'ouvrage, est qu'une femme doit au moins disposer « de quelque argent et d'une chambre à soi » si elle veut produire une uvre romanesque. Ce texte est considéré comme tenant une place importante dans l'histoire du féminisme. (source : Wikipedia) couverture à peine jaunie avec quelques rousseurs sur le haut du plat inférieur, intérieur sinon frais et propre, quelques rousseurs sur les tranches n'affectant pas l'intérieur sauf les 4 premieres pages de façon discrete, cela reste un bon exemplaire - NB : grand format chez Denoel dans la collection Femme, il ne s'agit pas d'une édition en poche‎
