1907rif. 77332s. l. Paris 1907. Fine. Colette the ""nude dancer"" in her stage costume s. l. Paris s. d. 1907 28.70 x 20.40 cm une photographie contrecollée sur carton Rare and superb original contemporary mounted albumen print showing Colette languidly stretched out on a lion skin and covered with a leopard skin. Photographer's penciled number and studio stamp on the back of the mount. A substantially cropped print bearing the same penciled number on the back of our photograph 11214 is in the Reutlinger archives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France Album Reutlinger de portraits divers vol. 53 p.3. We have been unable to find any other examples of this photograph in other public collections. A similar photograph belatedly dedicated to Maurice Chevalier went on sale in 2008. A beautiful sultry shot of Colette probably taken the year of her banned dance show ""Rêve d'Egypte"" at the Moulin Rouge where she shared the bill and a scandalous kiss with her cross-dressing aristocrat lover Missy. ""Colette was a nude dancer which at the time meant that she . draped herself in vaporous veils concealing part of her anatomy under animal skins"" Paula Dumont. Colette had already used animal skins hugging her figure in this picture as a sensual costume in Charles Van Lerberghe's Pan accompanied on stage by Lugné-Poe and Georges Wague. This was the first time anyone had dared to go without a flesh-colored body suit. Justifying her choice she went on to say: ""I want to dance naked if the body suit bothers me and humiliates my plasticity"". At the time of this photograph in 1907 Colette was performing in countless shows following her debut two years earlier in Nathalie Clifford Barney's Sapphic Salon where Mata Hari also danced. For Colette dance was synonymous with emancipation in more ways than one - as a means of sustenance and liberation of her body which finally belonged to her after her separation from her abusive husband Willy in 1906. Her undulating almost gestureless dance was linked by contemporary critics to that of Loïe Fuller and Isadora Duncan; her greatest success remained ""La Chair"" a risqué mime show she performed two hundred times in Paris and was subsequently produced with a new cast in New York's Manhattan Opera House. It was also in the halls of Parisian dance venues that Colette flaunted herself freely on the arm of her lovers. Her scandalous union with Missy the virile Marquise de Morny who accompanied her on stage in male costumes contributed to the fame of her performances. This is probably the rarest photograph of Colette taken by Reutlinger who also photographed her draped in Grecian style or wearing her costume from ""Le Rêve d'Egypte"". A rare visual testimony to a revolution in dance costume brought about by Colette a key figure in twentieth-century artistic and literary Paris. unknown

A central fold inherent to the folding of the letter for mailing. Fine letter from Colette testimony to the confusion that seized France at the dawn of the Great War: ""Nothing is working.

I don't know where he is he wrote to me that he was leaving with the 29th for the Somme. Ah! la la la la la la."" ""Colette a entendu sonner le tocsin en Bretagne où elle passait un séjour ensoleillé avec le baron Henry de Jouvenel et leur fille dans sa maison de Rozven. La guerre la surprend en plein bonheur à quarante et un ans. . Son mari appelé dès le 2 août devant rejoindre le 29e régiment d'infanterie à Verdun elle a aussitôt envoyé sa fille à peine âgée d'un an avec sa nurse au château de Castel Novel en Corrèze - chez sa belle-mère.

Her very young lover Bertrand de Jouvenel joined her in Marseille at the Grand Hôtel de Noailles et Métropole. Scandal: Bertrand de Jouvenel was none other than the son of her second husband the diplomat Henry de Jouvenel; guaranteed uproar around the fifty-year-old writer while her husband's son had just celebrated his twentieth birthday.

1935rif. 74179s. l. Paris 1935. Fine. s. l. Paris s. d. circa 1935 17.70 x 22.50 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet Beautiful autograph letter signed by Colette addressed to her friend Bolette Natanson. Two pages written in ink on blue paper. Transverse creases inherent to the folding of the missive. This letter was probably addressed to Bolette following a gift made to her ""old friend"": ""Ah! dangerous Bolette! I can say nothing in front of you. Here are the two charming thick little vessels that emigrate to my home."" This is an opportunity for Colette very pleased with this new gift to humorously devalue the designer's previous works: ""From now on your frames are ugly your mirrors troubled like an honest man's conscience and your butterflies are - horror! - faithful!"" The famous ""butterflies"" naturalized and enclosed in glass frames are visible in several photographs of the writer in her home. Having evolved since her earliest childhood in artistic circles - she is the daughter of Alexandre and niece of Thadée Natanson the creators of the famous Revue Blanche - Bolette Natanson 1892-1936 became friends with Jean Cocteau Raymond Radiguet Georges Auric Jean Hugo and also Colette. Passionate about sewing she left Paris for the United States with Misia Sert great friend of Coco Chanel and was hired by Goodman. With her husband Jean-Charles Moreux they created in 1929 the gallery Les Cadres on boulevard Saint-Honoré and frequented numerous artists and intellectuals. Their success was immediate and they multiplied projects: the creation of the fireplace for Winnaretta de Polignac the decoration of the château de Maulny the arrangement of Baron de Rothschild's private mansion the creation of frames for industrialist Bernard Reichenbach and finally the realization of Colette's beauty institute storefront in 1932. Bolette Natanson also framed the works of her prestigious painter friends: Bonnard Braque Picasso Vuillard Man Ray André Dunoyer de Segonzac etc. Despite this meteoric rise she would end her life in December 1936 a few months after her father's death. unknown

Je t'écris à l'heure juste où tu conduis ton père."" ""this Sunday is going to be a very painful Sunday. I am writing to you at the very moment when you are laying your father to rest."" Conscious of the suffering and ""chagrin"" ""grief"" of her ""chère Bolette"" ""dear Bolette"" she affectionately offers her support ""On croit toujours que la pensée qui est une force touche son but aussi bien qu'un message écrit."" ""We always believe that thought which is a force reaches its target as well as a written message."" ending her letter with a very beautiful declaration: ""Beaucoup de visages humains se penchent vers le tien et tu ne les aimes pas tous. Le mien que tu ne verras pas te suit de loin et s'inquiète de toi."" ""Many human faces lean toward yours and you do not love them all. Mine which you will not see follows you from afar and worries about you."" Bolette would commit suicide a few months later.
