ALCAFORADO, Marianna - MATISSE, Henri
LETTRES PORTUGAISES. Lithographies originales de Henri Matisse (1946)
Paris, Tériade, 1946. Vol in-4 (27,5 x 22 cm), en feuilles sous couverture illustrée d'une lithographie, chemise titré et étui de l'éditeur. - 105 LITHOGRAPHIES ORIGINALES PAR HENRI MATISSE, soit: 15 portraits à pleine page tirés en bistre, 55 ornements tirés en violets dont 5 à plein page, 35 lettrines lithographiées en violet. Tirage : 270 exemplaires tous sur vélin d'Arches signés par l'artiste. Celui-ci n° 93 signé à l'encre par Matisse. Impression Jourde et Allard pour le texte et Mourlot Frères pour les lithographies. - NOTE HISTORIQUE : Les "Lettres portugaises" on paru pour la première fois, anonymes, en 1669. Ces cinq admirables lettres d'amour évoquent le roman d'un officier français au service du Portugal. Ayant séduit une religieuse, soeur d'un de ses compagnons d'armes, et l'ayant délaissée, il ne répondait, de retour en France, qu'avec froideur aux lettres pleines d'ardeur, que la jeune femme lui adressait. La manière dont Marianna Alcaforado analyse les étapes de sa passion est saisissante et ce poème de la déception amoureuse ressortit davantage à l'art littéraire du dixseptième siècle français qu'à l'âge du couvent. On crut que le "héros" de l'aventure était un certain chevalier de Chamilly mais il apparu assez vite que l'auteur de cette "supercherie littéraire" était le comte Laverne de Guilleragues, ami de Racine et l'un des familier de Madame de Maintenon, qui devait finir ambassadeur à Constantinople. Quant à l'héroïne, une note contemporaine sur un exemplaire de la première édition du livre, découvert en 1810, la désignait comme Marianna Alcaforado, de Béjà, entre Estrémadure et Andalousie. - NOTE BIBLIOGRAPHIQUE : Matisse a été envouté par cette oeuvre dont près de cent éditions avaient été publiées depuis l'origine. Il a entièrement conçu l'ouvrage auquel il a travaillé pendant de longs mois. Il a dessiné un alphabet spécial et a orné le livre de lettrines, décors et motifs de grenades, pêches et fleurs d'amandiers, tirés en violet, et de quinze visages féminins à pleine page, une suite admirable où la pureté initiale du visage de la religieuse évolue au fil des passions très violentes qui la traversent, visages où se composent la féminité et l'amour, résumant peut-être ainsi les préoccupations les plus profondes de Matisse dessinateur… Matisse choisit pour modèle une jeune fille russe de 14 ans, Doucia Retinsky, fille d'un boutiquier de Nice. Indéniable réussite artistique et éditoriale, l'ouvrage connaît aussi un grand succès commercial puisque tous les exemplaires trouvent preneur avant la fin de l'année 1946. Rare exemplaire en condition d'origine. État de conservation parfait. Bibliographie : Duthuit Henri Matisse Les Livres illustrés n°15, p. 89 à 107. Photographies supplémentaires de l'ouvrage sur demande. - ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: Henri MATISSE - M. ALCAFORADO : LETTRES PORTUGAISES. Lithographies originales de Henri Matisse (1946). Paris, Tériade, 1946. Vol in-4 (27.5 x 22 cm), in loose sheets under illustrated cover with a lithograph, titled folder and publisher's slipcase. - 105 ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS BY HENRI MATISSE : 15 full-page portraits printed in bistre, 55 ornaments printed in purple including 5 full-page, 35 initials lithographed in purple. - Edition: 270 copies all on Arches paper signed by the artist. This one n° 93 signed in ink by Matisse (Impression Jourde et Allard for the text and Mourlot Frères for the lithographs). - HISTORICAL NOTE: The "Portuguese Letters" appeared for the first time, anonymously, in 1669. These five admirable love letters evoke the novel of a French officer in the service of Portugal. Having seduced a nun, sister of one of his comrades in arms, and having abandoned her, he replied, on his return to France, only coldly to the letters full of ardor that the young woman addressed to him. The way in which Marianna Alcaforado analyzes the stages of her passion is striking, and this poem of amorous disappointment has more to do with the literary art of seventeenth-century France than with the age of the convent. It was believed that the "hero" of the adventure was a certain Chevalier de Chamilly, but it quickly appeared that the author of this "literary deception" was Count Laverne de Guilleragues, a friend of Racine and one of Madame de Maintenon, who was to become ambassador to Constantinople. As for the heroine, a contemporary note on a copy of the first edition of the book, discovered in 1810, designated her as Marianna Alcaforado, from Béjà, between Extremadura and Andalusia. - BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: Matisse was bewitched by this work, nearly a hundred editions of which had been published since its inception. He entirely designed the work on which he worked for many months. He designed a special alphabet and adorned the book with initials, decorations and motifs of pomegranates, peaches and almond blossoms, drawn in purple, and fifteen full-page female faces, an admirable continuation where the initial purity of the face of the nun evolves over the course of the very violent passions that cross her, faces where femininity and love are composed, perhaps thus summarizing the deepest concerns of designer Matisse... Matisse chose a 14-year-old Russian girl, Doucia Retinsky, the daughter of a shopkeeper in Nice, as his model. Undeniable artistic and editorial success, the book also enjoyed great commercial success since all the copies found takers before the end of 1946. - Scarce copy in original condition. Signed by Matisse. Perfect condition of preservation. Bibliography: Duthuit Henri Matisse Illustrated Books No. 15, p. 89 to 107. Additional photographs of the book on request.

Arland Marcel Marc Chagall
Maternité
Paris: Au Sans Pareil 1926. 955pp. Octavo. Bound in the original wrappers with a stiff blue wrap around jacket with dark blue lettering on the front and spine. One of 60 limited copies printed on Vergé de Hollande-- numbered 56 to 115-- with an extra suite of the 5 etchings by Marc Chagall in the latter portion of the book; this copy is #110. Deckling to all text block edges. Illustrated with five full page etchings by Chagall throughout the text with duplicate copies of the plates bound at the end; all the etchings have the original tissue guards. The blue jacket has faded quite a bit and is more of a buff colour and has some water stains on the back panel and to the spine in spots. Some transfer from the inner folds of the jacket is apparent on the ffep although it is quite faint. Internally clean and an attractive copy overall. Limited to a printing of 960 copies in total with 60 of those on Vergé de Hollande of which this copy is one. In 1923 Marc Chagall moved to Paris and received several commissions for visual narratives including this story by Marcel Arland. The text is comprised of a short story told in reverse beginning with the death of a young girl's illegitimate baby and ending with the first night she and her lover spend together. The girl is vilified by her neighbors and Chagall's first image shows her being taken away by the police as a crowd yells and shames her. Another plate shows the girl giving birth alone in her backyard among the chickens and empty crates. Due to the popularity of Chagall's prints many copies of this book were split apart and the etchings were sold individually. This is a complete and clean copy. 1926 Au Sans Pareil
