Louis ARAGON
Lettre autographe signée
Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy 1914. Fine. Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy s. d. ca 1914-1920 13.50 x 21 cm une page sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed addressed to a correspondent whom we have not been able to identify. Written from the Grand Hôtel de Grandcamp-les-Bains Calvados in blue ink on a folded sheet of white paper. A transverse fold inherent to the posting of the letter and four small perforations affecting the text but not impeding its reading. The mention of Grandcamp-les-Bains - where Aragon seems to have been only once during the summer of his seventeenth year - and the signature - of an early form - lead us to think that the letter could have been written in the summer of 1914. Philippe Forest in his biography of Aragon confirms that it was indeed at Grandcamp-les-Bains where his family had rented fifty rooms in a large seaside hotel to accommodate family and friends that the future poet learned the news of mobilization. The handwriting less rounded than on manuscripts prior to the 1920s however seems to us later and we are therefore not in a position to confirm the date of 1914. unknown

Louis ARAGON - (Marceline DESBORDES-VALMORE)
Manuscrit original sur ""L'Atelier d'un peintre"" ""qui fait grincer les dents existentialistes""
1950. Fine. It has to be said that we are publishing here this masterpiece deliberately ignored by those who write literary history and which makes existentialist teeth grind or simply spoilt teeth as an example sure that it will not be in vain. s. d. circa 1950 21 x 30 cm une page sur un feuillet Autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon one page in blue ink on a leaf. Precious study by Louis Aragon accompanying the serial publication in Les Lettres Françaises of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's novel L'Atelier d'un peintre 1833. Aragon rehabilitates the female poet-novelist canceled from the history of literature and snubbed by Existentialists placing her in the tradition of socialist realism. Autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon one page in blue ink on one leaf. Numerous crossed out words and rewritings. Slight rusting due to a paper clip slight shadows of an ink transfer from another page. Published in Les Lettres Françaises episode 16 23 February 1950. In 1949 Aragon chose to publish 'L'Atelier d'un peintre' serially with his own comments. The Cold War made socialist realism the official literary genre for Communist cultural policy: 'For Aragon reading Marceline Desbordes-Valmore is above all reading the history of a generation of a people. More precisely he made Marceline an incarnation of the unfinished Republic of a world still under construction and one that was tending towards freedom. To understand Marceline Aragon invites us to 'date her writings' and not be content to confine her to a single period of her life but to try to find an explanation for her stances which were as different as the regimes during the gestation of the Republic in the nineteenth century'. Aghbarian Lina 'Aragon éditeur de Marceline Desbordes-Valmore' Recherches croisées Aragon - Elsa Triolet no. 14. Of all his comments accompanying 'L'Atelier d'un peintre' this is one of his most polemical: Aragon opposes the Surrealists by contesting Lautréamont's distate of the Romantics with whom Desbordes-Valmore was associated. The writer criticizes the hasty rejection of her work which nevertheless has counterparts in modern literature: 'The Atelier that Aragon reopens with the publication of this novel to rework it to reveal it to give it a second life closer to his own concerns after having disentangled it from its time and emptied it of its Romantic religiosity to lay bare its richness which lies in the feminist cause defended by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore . . For her Ondine the literary character was a transposition of the missing child her son the son of Henri de Latouche her lover. Ondine is thus three times hybrid androgynous real and imaginary daughter and mother at the same time and Léonard her inverted double the one she would have liked to be in order to succeed in the forbidden world of painting. Aragon doubles androgyny with homosexuality as seen in Yorick's phrase 'Talma doubles my existence'. Among other allusions he refers to Henri Miller's Sexus an allusion is made about this work in this manuscript Aragon cultivates the theme of duality on which the whole novel is built. Without abandoning the imaginary world of the novel he seeks to bring out the realistic side of this romantic novel hidden in the shadow of the lyrical novel. In a word Aragon reverses the order of the foreground and background: the romanticism of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's novel becomes secondary and the historical background takes precedence' ibid. 'We have now come to the night scene in the Place Vendôme which is one of the most intense the most beautiful minutes of the novel of the other century. I know that not everyone will agree. It's come to my attention that there are people who are superbly distracted from L'Atelier d'un peintre and find it wrong that we should publish a story in which there is absolutely nothing of what THEY are looking for in novels and it's possible that those who c unknown

Louis ARAGON - (Willy RONIS)
Une séance photo avec Willy Ronis Original autograph manuscript
1948. Fine. ""Nose in the air arms flying with nonchalance with joy as Willy Ronis says. black shoes a large hat a wasp waist skirt in the wind and not the slightest idea what all this could be for but all the sunshine of late April in the veil. and like Paris absurdly inimitable."" s. d. avril 1948 21 x 30 cm 4 pages sur 4 feuillets Exceptional complete autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon. 4 pages in pencil on 4 leaves numbered in his hand. Discrete trace of rust discharge on the first leaf and on the verso of the last. Horizontal fold across all leaves. The article would be published under the title ""L'Art de prendre une photo pour Les Lettres Françaises"" Regards May 14 1948. Aragon accompanies the great Willy Ronis during a photographic session for a fashion portrait for Les Lettres Françaises. Following in Ronis's footsteps as he directs his spinning model the writer takes us through four pages across an enchanting Paris where popular life and worldly elegance intermingle. ""The aim was to illustrate Le Nez au vent by Louis Chéronnet. The column's theme was: The Elegance of Paris is moving westward and more specifically focused on avenue Montaigne"" begins Aragon in his chronicle. For the duration of a day the writer documents with fascination the photographer's work in one of his favorite settings: the streets of Paris. Several tableaux unfold in succession in the Montorgueil quarter at the milliner's in Ronis's studio on avenue Montaigne at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. The key word for both Aragon and Ronis is movement. Photography is not static nor are Aragon's impressions. We jump like the model in the photographer's shots from one place to another. The portrait of the elegant woman expands under the writer's pen to her surroundings to the bubbling life of Paris that stops for an instant to contemplate the model's silhouette animated by the photographer's instructions. Sixty years later Ronis would remember that memorable day: ""Aragon had a very beautiful regard for photography. He knew what an image was. Elsa too. He had me work when he founded and directed Les Lettres françaises. I did several reports for him. The first small report was in 1947 or 48 a report on fashion on avenue Montaigne. Aragon came with me we had chosen a model. I was a bit intimidated by Aragon it was my first contact with him. I wanted to get the maximum from my model I was working very hard because I was nervous. Seeing me work amused him so much that he didn't write the report about the model but about me working. I had seen him quite many times afterward we used the familiar form with each other."" Willy Ronis interview in Libération September 14 2009 Their militant paths crossed on numerous occasions - Ronis contributed through his photographs to witness the social revolts that shook the 1930s while Aragon devoted many articles to them. In 1949 the photographer would follow the commemorative day of the Oradour-sur-Glane tragedy in which nearly 400 artists participated at Aragon's initiative. He would also be the author of beautiful portraits of the Aragon-Triolet couple. Excerpts from the manuscript: Willy Ronis had arranged to meet me at 10:30 at the corner of rue Tiquetonne and rue Montorgueil. Apparently he was photographing athletes there. Ah! it was that restaurant where in the past we used to go eat with Vaillant-Couturier and there were Action Française types who would shoot daggers at us with their eyes. Instead of athletes Willy was there in his velvet jacket with his spectacles taking shots left and right at the counter of a couple of lovers. Sweet the lovers. The little one especially. Perhaps it's a sport. . There is nothing more solemn than Caroline Reboux. It is the temple of hats. If he lived in our times this is where Aristotle would write. Caroline Reboux herself made the bonnets for Nana and Eugénie de Montijo; at her place Bel-Ami would twist h unknown

The edition of the second volume being from the following year it often happens that one finds only the first volume. Full marbled brown calf bindings. Smooth decorated spines. Red morocco title labels tawny morocco volume labels. Lacks at head of volume I. 2 corners bumped. Marbled edges. The first leaves of volume I are printed on strong paper the following on laid paper. Fine copy. Red bookplate G.H. Manuscript ownership inscription: Tillier this 7th November 1792. Apocryphal memoirs. Under a novelistic form in which a German baron enamored with philosophy and in love with philosophers finds himself in Paris critique of philosophers and in particular of d'Holbach's materialist doctrine. In reaction to the materialist philosophers Crillon had already published L'homme moral. Through a lively narrative placed under the auspices of common sense the author stages the sect of philosophers by mocking them under skillful conversations the effect is all the more effective as it appears only to the reader the narrator being only a naive person desperate for philosophy and philosophers his incomprehension and dismay masking the criticism of solidarity philosophers acting according to principles atheism materialism rather than through philosophy. The second volume is placed under different auspices the narrator prey to doubt questions himself and monologues on all that he has heard he meets a wise old man who will answer his interrogations on human nature truth etc. This work in the mass of anti-philosophical writings is noteworthy because it does not fall like so many others into a frontal and theoretical criticism it stages a simple man prey to his doubts confronted with the dogmas of materialist philosophers.

Louis BORGEX - (Jean RICHEPIN)
"Les sardinières"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne
Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1898. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Novembre 1898 25 x 32 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original color lithograph executed by Louis Borgex for L'Estampe Moderne series number 19 published in November 1898. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature and date in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp from the deluxe edition on verso; print preceded by a tissue guard with the artist's name title and an excerpt from a work. Lithograph inspired by verses extracted from the collection La Mer by Jean Richepin reproduced on the print's tissue guard. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specifically by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Époque. Each delivery of four prints was issued in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed on the most prestigious of papers: Japan. Thick silky satin and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a work in its own right. Its ink absorption quality and affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very fine lithographs. French collectors' interest in artistic posters grew in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and pasted on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and devoted to preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising purpose and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy.
