‎Paul RENOUARD - (J READING)‎

‎"Avant le ballet"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1898. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Septembre 22.50 x 31.50 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original lithograph executed by Paul Renouard for L'Estampe Moderne series number 17 published in September 1898. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins laid paper mounted on Japan paper artist's signature in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the reverse; engraving preceded by a tissue guard inscribed with the artist's name the title and a text extract. Lithograph inspired by an extract from La Danse et les Ballets by J. Reading 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 paper. Thick silky satiny and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a complete work in itself. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very beautiful lithographs. The interest of French collectors in artistic posters intensified at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and posted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral support became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation 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. A handsome copy.

‎"Nous allons au théâtre en traîneau"" • Signed autograph letter‎

‎Budapest 1879. Fine. Budapest 17 janvier 1879 11 x 17.50 cm 4 pages sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by Jules Massenet two pages written in black ink on a double sheet. Fold inherent to mailing. A small split at the junction of the two sheets without gravity. Fine letter written by the composer during his first stay in the Hungarian capital for Le Roi de Lahore whose premiere took place eight days later: ""Répétition générale ce matin . excellente exécution"" ""General rehearsal this morning . excellent execution"". Massenet mentions the setbacks that occurred which forced the postponement of the opera's programming: ""La Benza Ida notre Sitia ne pouvant chanter demain à cause de son deuil la première est remise à huit jours."" ""La Benza Ida our Sitia unable to sing tomorrow because of her mourning the premiere is postponed by eight days."". This letter also evokes the friendship between Massenet and Franz Liszt more than thirty years his senior who took the young composer under his wing at the Villa Medici in 1863: ""Je viens de chez Liszt il est arrivé cette nuit à Peth et sera à la première."" ""I come from Liszt's he arrived last night in Pest and will be at the premiere."". Surprised by the hostile climate of this region he is visiting for the first time Massenet comments: ""Le froid est affreux la neige exaspère nous allons au théâtre en traîneau . Restez au coin du feu ah ! que vous souffririez de cette température je t'assure que c'est la sensation de la Russie la neige couvre tout. . je ne sors pas même un oeil quel hiver même pour les Hongrois enfouis dans leurs peaux comme des Lapons !"" ""The cold is dreadful the snow is exasperating we go to the theater by sleigh . Stay by the fire ah! how you would suffer from this temperature I assure you it's the sensation of Russia snow covers everything. . I don't even stick my nose out what a winter even for the Hungarians buried in their furs like Laplanders!"". unknown‎

Henri Piazza also planned a very 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 in a handsome format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too inconsistent owes its reputation not to its own beauty but to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft at the same time is more apt than any other to receive a fine printing. This property makes China paper sought after for printing engravings."" Anatole France. French collectors' interest in artistic posters intensified in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and pasted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral support became precious and destined for preservation.
