réf. 16-6339Mid-late 19th Century. . Watercolor and gouache. 31 x 22cm. Annotated with artist's name verso and collection number. .Compare to Morgan Library Dept. of Drawings and Prints. Record ID:109832.Notes:The artist's fame stems from his sketches of Parisian society for which Baudelaire dubbed him “the Painter of Modern Life” in the pages of Le Figaro 1863. Widely traveled and a regular contributor to the growing corpus of illustrated journals such as Illustrated London News and Punch he worked swiftly and captured the sense of movement synonymous with modern urban life.This group of figures appears to be gathered in the foyer of a theater or cabaret judging from the row of gas lamps along the upper margin. The women wear small bonnets one a cape the other a jacket over voluminous crinolines a stiff underskirt introduced in 1855 and unfashionable by 1867. They speak to two men in top hats while a third seems indifferent to their presence; other similarly attired men mill about and walk through the background.Provenance:Né en 1906 à Lezay Deux-Sèvres Jacques Cathy a exercé d’abord la profession de caricaturiste à l’hebdomadaire « Le Rire ».

1957réf. 500113"Ray" on light blue personal 6925 Neptune Place letterhead La Jolla June 3 1957. 4to. 2 pages on separate leaves stapled together. To Edgar N. Carter at N.H. Swanson Company in West Hollywood: "Would it make any difference to a TV deal if I agreed to write the dialogue not the story -- only I suppose what you could call a polish job. Of course the writer would loathe me. I must make it clear that any work I should do would on be done in any TV studio since it might be from Tahiti or Tasmania. I understand that changes might be made because some actor might say "This line just isn't me" or some director might like George Marshall have an itching pencil. I ought to have something to say about who is to play the part. I think the actor is more important than the summer radio shot. I think you have the job of convincing these lauatics that if a show is to last it must cost not too much and must have some sort of special quality. Marlowe is a character of some nobility of scorching wit sad but not defeated lonely but never really sure of himself. It is impossible to think that such a man would not have a sex life but so many writers of this sort of story have made it too blatant and too vulgar. Marlowe would get almost any woman into bed with him by a certain obscure technique which depends almost entirely on making a woman feel that you respect her. Some of this has to go into Philip Marlowe if his is to be any good. If it is not possible to achieve this I think we should forget the whole thing. After all a great many writers have been trying to steal him from me for 15 years and they have never done it yet". unknown
