AURIC Georges
Emouvante lettre autographe signée du poilu Georges Auric adressée depuis le front à son amie Bolette Natanson: "Je suis heureux de pouvoir grâce à vous retrouver un ami par dessus la guerre"
- s.l. s.d. (circa 1916), 12,5x17cm, une feuille rempliée. - Belle lettre autographe signée de Georges Auric, alors mobilisé (27e corps, 3e unité, 1ère section) adressée à son amie Bolette Natanson. Quatre pages rédigées à l'encre noire sur un papier vergé. Pliures transversales inhérentes à la mise sous pli de la missive. Dans cette ambivalente lettre, à la fois teintée d'optimisme et de pessimisme, Georges Auric remercie son amie pour les nouvelles qu'elle lui donne et pour les livres qu'elle lui fait parvenir, le distrayant ainsi de son effroyable existence au front : "... il revèle bien des coins lumineux dans un monde où les cachots sont les domiciles quotidiens d'une humainté pitoyable." Il lui fait part de sa terrible expérience de la guerre qui le dépasse : "la bataille, le canon qui tue Dieu dans le coeur de la France et sanctifie l'Allemagne... toute cette machination prodigieuse... où ce sont les innocents qui reçoivent le coup de poignard dans le dos... l'escamotage inimaginable de cette vigne humaine qui ne mûrira jamais..." tout en entretenant quand même une lueur d'espoir dans tout ce chaos : "... on aime plus que jamais la France qui peut supporter cela et le monde qui vit cela, avec à côtés les petits et les grands drames quotidiens de la vie, la grande misère de l'or, de l'amour et de la gloire. Quelle folie. On voudrait être un humain d'après tout cela, voir, vivre, comprendre." Enfin Georges Auric se remémore, avec regrets, les moments passés, les occasions manquées et fugaces de la vie tout en attendant la mort qui rôde dans les tranchées : "... on oublie de vivre. On oublie de voir. Qu'ai-je vu ? Qu'avez-vous vécu ? Il y a quelques petits frissons et quelques coups de soleil qui m'on fait palpiter cinq minutes... J'ai manqué bien des occasions avec une amère jouissance et un fou mépris... Maintenant, j'attends le coup de fusil, la tranchée où l'on meurt... et je ne sais pas si je ressusciterais un jour à ma vie..." Superbe et touchante lettre dans laquelle Georges Auric se montre, comme ses frères d'infortune et d'armes, indélébilement marqué par l'affreuse expérience de la Grande Guerre. Evoluant depuis sa plus tendre enfance dans les milieux artistiques - elle est la fille d'Alexandre et la nièce de Thadée Natanson, les créateurs de la fameuse Revue Blanche - Bolette Natanson (1892-1936) se lia d'amitié avec Jean Cocteau, Raymond Radiguet, Georges Auric, Jean Hugo ou encore Colette. Passionnée par la couture, elle quitte Paris pour les Etats-Unis avec Misia Sert, grande amie de Coco Chanel et est embauchée chez Goodman. Avec son mari Jean-Charles Moreux, ils créèrent en 1929 la galerie Les Cadres boulevard Saint-Honoré et fréquentèrent de nombreux artistes et intellectuels. Leur succès fut immédiat et ils multiplièrent les projets : la création de la cheminée de Winnaretta de Polignac, la décoration du château de Maulny, l'agencement de l'hôtel particulier du baron de Rothschild, la création de cadres pour l'industriel Bernard Reichenbach et enfin la réalisation de la devanture de l'institut de beauté de Colette en 1932. Bolette Natanson encadra également les uvres de ses prestigieux amis peintres : Bonnard, Braque, Picasso, Vuillard, Man Ray, André Dunoyer de Segonzac, etc. En dépit de cette fulgurante ascension, elle mettra fin à ses jours en décembre 1936 quelques mois après le décès de son père.

BALLETS RUSSES
Collection of photographs.
c.1916-1920s. A collection of photographs of Ballets Russes dancers including images of the principal dancer and choreographer Adolph Bolm his daughter Kyra Alanova the prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina and a single photo of Nijinsky as Albrecht in Giselle. Fifteen were taken by Emil Otto Hoppé 1878-1972 one of the most sought-after photographers of the 1920s and 1930s. He photographed the Ballets Russes from 1911 to 1923; these images are predominantly from their only American tours in 1916 and 1917. Karsavina appears in five and Bolm in twelve including two images of them together in costume for Le Pavillon d'Armide one of them together in Thamar and two in L'Oiseau de Feu. Adolph Bolm 1884-1951 was a pioneer of ballet in the United States. From 1909 to 1916 he was a principal dancer and choreographer for the Ballets Russes. During their American tour Bolm injured himself while dancing Thamar. He stayed in the USA and quickly established himself as a coveted choreographer. There were no American ballet companies and dancers performed with opera companies until Bolm established Chicago Allied Arts the first repertory ballet company in the USA. He later founded the San Francisco Opera Ballet and was one of five choreographers involved in the 1940 founding season for New York's Ballet Theatre. Tamara Karsavina 1885-1978 was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet before joining Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. She is perhaps most famous for creating the title role in Mikhail Fokine's L'Oiseau de Feu. Seventeen photographs are unattributed. One showing Bolm and Karsavina in Scheherazade is from the same Ballets Russes season. Another shows Bolm as the Golden Slave in Scheherazade post-1929 while a third shows Bolm as Amoun in Cleopatra undated but perhaps 1910. A further three are portraits of Bolm's daughter the ballerina Kyra Alanova two as the princess in A Kiss in Xanadu and one in unidentified costume. She danced with the Ballets Russes between 1918 and 1924 but these photos are likely later: one is dated in pencil "London 1925" on the verso and another has the ink stamp of Vaughan & Freeman on the verso London photographers who were active from 1928. The remaining 11 photographs are all dress rehearsals from an unidentified ballet with an "oriental" theme which does not appear to be any of the six ballets of that kind that the Ballets Russes debuted in Paris. Pencil annotations on the verso of nine images suggest "Adolf Bolm Kyra Deakin Alanova" and two images are annotated in a different hand with Alanova's name weight height hair and eye colour and New York address. These are likely from ballets choreographed by Bolm once he had parted with the Ballets Russes and established himself as one of the most important figures in American ballet. Together 32 photographic prints of varying mediums including carbon and silver gelatin from approx. 170 x 122 mm to 260 x 203 mm the photograph of Kyra Alanova as the princess in A Kiss in Xanadu mounted on card 260 x 198 mm. Edges rubbed occasional chips a few photographs overexposed or lightly silvered at edges remnants of adhesive to verso of two photographs two short closed tears to Adolph Bolm in Le Pavillon d'Armide one with tape repair to verso. A well-preserved collection. Andrew Foster "A Directory of Diaghilev Dancers" Dance Research: The Journal of the Society for Dance Research vol. 37 no. 2 2019 pp. 181-205. unknown

Ballets Russes Bolm Adolph. 1884a1951 Bakst Leon. 1866a1924 Hoppe Emil Otto. 1878a1972
Adolf Bolm in Thamar Monsieur Adolph Bolm Thamar - Original Photograph
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Striking original vintage sepia toned gelatin photograph of the important dancer ca. 1912. Stamped "ADOLPH BOLM / 'THAMAR' / SERGE de DIAGHILEFF'S BALLET RUSSE" on the verso in violet ink. Right edge trimmed irregularly small loss to upper left corner light spotting else in fine condition. 5.2 x 8 inches 13.2 x 20.3 cm<br style="">An early associate of Anna Pavlova Adolphe Bolm later was a major figure in Diaghilev's Ballet Russes. An injury sustained during this US tour lead him to leave the company and remain in the US where he went on to organize "Ballet Intime" and collaborate with the New York Metropolitan Opera. He is shown in the present image in the 1912 Ballets Russes production of "Thamar" in a costume by Leon Bakst.<br>In the ballet with music by Balakirev and choreography by Michel Fokine the subject of the life of Thamar Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213 was transformed in the spirit of nineteenth-century Romanticism becoming a symbol of nationalist pride in the face of growing Russian cultural dominance in the Caucasus. Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov fictionalized Thamar's history within his interpretation of a Georgian legend of a malevolent seductress in his 1841 poem Tamara and it was this version along with Balakirev's symphonic poem Tamara that inspired Bakst and Fokine for the Ballets Russes production. Bakst's looming set dramatized Thamar's isolated court in her castle in the treacherous Terek River and provided a stark background for his sumptuous and richly detailed costumes for the queen her courtiers guards and suitors.  The men's costumes are based on the traditional Caucasian cherkeska Circassian coat or kaftan with beshmet underdress. <br style="">German born photographer E. O. Hoppé moved to London in 1902 at the age of 24 to work for the Deutsche Bank. He was elected member of the Royal Photographic Society in 1903 and became one of the most important portrait and documentary photographers of his time. E. O. Hoppé spent most of his life in England or travelling the rest of the world on assignments. The present photograph was published as a gravure in Hoppé's 1913 Fine Art Society London volume "Studies from the Russian Ballet" the photographer's first major publication. At a time when ballet was highly popular he photographed most of the leading members of Serge Diaghilev's Russian Ballet in London and the present image of Bolm is one of his most celebrated images. <br style=""> unknown books

Ballets Russes Diaghilev Sergey Pavlovich. 18721929 Pergolesi Giovanni Battista. 17101736 Wassenaer Count Unico Wilhelm van.
Six Concertinos Attributed to Pergolesi AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT PREPARED FOR AND INSCRIBED BY DIAGHILEV
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Bound collection of 6 concertinos for 4 violins viola cello and basso continuo in score copied from a manuscript at the Conservatoire de Paris as prepared for and subsequently inscribed by Sergei Diaghilev. Long attributed to Italian Baroque composer Pergolesi these pieces are a famous case of reattribution within the canon of classical music having been identified in recent decades as the work of the Dutch composer and statesman Count Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer. Half a century before this musicological consensus had been established Diaghilev wrote his opinion in an inscription on the cover of the present manuscript translated as follows from the French:<br style="">"In my opinion only the sixth last concertino was composed by Pergolesi. The others are of different authors who have nothing in common with him. I believe the autograph score does not exist and that the copy at the Conservatoire de Paris is the sole known copy that belongs to <lacuna>. These works are found in no library in Italy. It is especially strange that they are not to be found in Naples. The quality of the music of these three concertini is very unequal and one recognizes Pergolesi solely in the last part of the last concertino which was composed wholly by him the Adagio movement recalling his serenades etc. S. Diaghilev 1918."<br style="">"à mon avis il n'y a que le 6me dernier Concertino qui est composé par Pergolesi. Les autres sont de différents auteurs qui n'ont rien de commun avec lui. Je crois que le partition autographe n'existe pas et que l'exemplaire du Conservatoire de Paris est la copie de l'unique exemplaire connu qui appartient à <lacuna>. Dans aucune Bibliothèque d'Italie ces oeuvres ne se trouvent pas. Il est étrange surtout qu'on ne les trouve pas à Naples. La qualité de musique de ces concertini est très inégale et l'on reconnait Pergolesi seulement dans la dernière partie du dernier concertino qui fait être tout entier composé par lui mouvement d'Adagio rappelant ses serenades etc. S. Diaghilev. 1918."<br style="">24 pages bound in a single gathering 10 1/2 à 13 3/4 inches 27 à 35 cm closed. Each page ruled neatly in 16 staves. Notation neatly penned in the hand of the copyist L. Mathieu who has stamped lower right corner of cover: "'Copie musicale et littéraire' L. Mathieu 30 rue Legendre Paris." Diaghilev himself has further inscribed at the base of the page "Copiés d'après le manuscrit se trouvant au Conservatoire de Musique de Paris / 1917. SergeiDIaghilev" Purple ownership stamp in lower right corner of cover of Serge Lifar obtained at the sale of his library. Outer sheets cover and last page of music ever so slightly darker than openings else very fine throughout. <br style="">Diaghilev the great impresario of the Ballets Russes is best known for his prescient assemblage of extraordinarily promising composers artists choreographers and dancers. Perhaps Diaghilev's most famous musical innovation was his suggestion to Stravinsky that he set some themes by Giovanni Pergolesi or at least some music as here that was then believed to be by Pergolesi. The result was Pulcinella making Diaghilev at least partly responsible for the transition from Igor Stravinsky's Russian period to his Neoclassical period and the subsequent broader 1920s fascination with neo-classicism.  The present manuscript offers a glimpse into Diaghilev's central own role in evaluating projects for his ensemble since his inscriptions of 1917 and 1918 two/three years before the Ballets Russes production of Pulcinella so clearly demonstrate his interest in Pergolesi and the commedia dell'arte. unknown books
