1914- Lucien Vogel éditeur, Paris Juillet 1914, 18x24cm, ballet russe, une feuille. - Original black and white print, printed on vergé paper, signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton, one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines, featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel, La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925, with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war (the editor-in-chief having been called up for service). It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2,000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start, this sumptuous publication "was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society," (Françoise Tétart-Vittu, "La Gazette du bon ton", in Dictionnaire de la mode, 2016) and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot, known as Cochin, later used (in 1946) by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils, heightened in colors, some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912, when Lucien Vogel, a man of the world involved in fashion (he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina) decided, with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff - the sister of Jean, creator of Babar - to set up the Gazette du bon ton, subtitled at the time: "Art, fashion, frivolities." Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: "'In 1910,' he observed, 'there was no really artistic fashion magazine, nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists...I was assured of success, because when it comes to fashion, no country on earth can compete with France.'" ("Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel" in Les Nouvelles littéraires, no. 133, May 1925). The magazine was immediately successful, not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first, Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud, followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt, as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts, like George Barbier, Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux, Léon Bakst, Benito, Boutet de Monvel, Umberto Brunelleschi, Chas Laborde, Jean-Gabriel Domergue, Raoul Dufy, Édouard Halouze, Alexandre Iacovleff, Jean Émile Laboureur, Charles Loupot, Chalres Martin, Maggie Salcedo. These artist, mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out, later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on, and celebrate, dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin, Doeuillet, Paquin, Poiret, Worth, Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless, some of the illustrations are not based on real models, but simply on the illustrator's conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole, it brought together - for the first time - the great talents of the artistic, literary, and fashion worlds; and imposed, through this alchemy, a completely new image of women: slender, independent and daring, which was shared by the new generation of designers, including Coco Chanel, Jean Patou, Marcel Rochas, and so on... Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast, the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that "little dying paper" that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue.

1969- 29 janvier 1969, 21x27cm, une feuille filigranée Guerimand Voiron. - Letter typed and signed from André Malraux to Maurice Béjart. One leaf headed by the Ministre d'Etat chargé des Affaires Culturelles (Ministry of Culture), bearing a stamp from 29 January 1969. André Malraux hopes to place choreographer Maurice Béjart in charge of the Ballet de l'Opéra in Paris. Béjart was at the time very well established in Brussels, as part of his troop Ballet du XXe siècle, performing at the Théâtre de la Monnaie, led by his friend Maurice Huismans. Following a report by Jean Vilar to reform the Opéra in Paris, Malraux takes the decision to call Béjart back to France: "J'aimerais que nous puissions nous rencontrer pour parler d'un projet que vous connaissez déjà et auquel j'attache une grande importance : la Direction de la Danse à l'Opéra" "I would like us to be able to meet to talk about a project that you already know and to which I attach a great significance: the Management of Dance at the Opéra." Malraux's idea was to name Boulez and Jean Vilar alongside him, thus forming a solid avant-garde, resolutely oriented towards the future of the arts. The choreographer declined the offer and continued his creations in Belgium. He becomes no less an admirer of Malraux to whom he will dedicate, fifteen years later, a ballet using Beethoven's music, which he entitled "Malraux ou la métamorphose des dieux." This letter is the only testimony existing to Malraux's request to the choreographer, which remained controversial. This nomination was not accepted by Béjart, who stayed in Belgium for ten years before heading to Lausanne. Provenance: Maurice Béjart's personal archives. [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Lettre dactylographiée et signée d'André Malraux à Maurice Béjart. Une feuille à en-tête du Ministre d'état chargé des Affaires Culturelles, portant un tampon du 29 janvier 1969. André Malraux souhaite placer le chorégraphe Maurice Béjart à la tête du Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris. Béjart était alors fort bien établi à Bruxelles, parmi sa troupe le Ballet du XXème siècle, se produisant au théâtre de la Monnaie dirigé par son ami Maurice Huismans. à la suite d'un rapport de Jean Vilar pour réformer l'Opéra de Paris, Malraux prend la décision de rappeler Béjart en France?: «?J'aimerais que nous puissions nous rencontrer pour parler d'un projet que vous connaissez déjà et auquel j'attache une grande importance?: la Direction de la Danse à l'Opéra.?» L'idée de Malraux était de nommer à ses côtés Boulez et Jean Vilar, formant ainsi une avant-garde solide, résolument tournée vers l'avenir des arts. Le chorégraphe déclina l'offre et poursuivit ses créations en Belgique. Il ne sera pas moins admiratif de Malraux à qui il consacra quinze ans plus tard un ballet sur des musiques de Beethoven, qu'il intitule «?Malraux ou la métamorphose des dieux?». La lettre constitue l'unique preuve de la demande de Malraux à Béjart, qui était jusqu'à présent soumise à controverse. Cette proposition du Ministre des Affaires culturelles ne fut pas honorée par Béjart, qui resta en Belgique pendant dix ans avant de prendre la route pour Lausanne. Provenance?: archives personnelles de Maurice Béjart.

1969- 1969, 16,8x21,6cm, carnet en spirales. - Handwritten personal diary for the year 1969 1969 | 16.8 x 21.6 cm | spiral-bound notebook Personal diary handwritten by Maurice Béjart, written in a 1969 diary celebrating the centenary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi. 52 handwritten leaves, written in red and blue pen in a spiral-bound notebook. This diary features amongst Béjart's very rare, privately owned manuscripts, the choreographer's archives being shared between his house in Brussels, the Béjart foundation in Lausanne and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. The choreographer Maurice Béjart's diary written during the year 1969. An extremely rare collection of thoughts, questions and introspections from the point of view of Hinduism and Buddhist wisdom, which Béjart adopts following his first trip to India in 1967. The diary is an emblematic testimony of the indo-hippie era of the 1960s, spiritual and artistic renaissance that inspired numerous ballets of the choreographer (Messe pour le temps présent, Bhakti, Les Vainqueurs). A selection from this diary was published by Maurice Béjart in the second volume of his memoirs (La Vie de Qui ? Flammarion, 1996). During the year 1969, Béjart wrote daily notes in a diary published in memory of Mahatma Gandhi. Fascinated by Hindu mysticism since his trip to India in 1967, he filled in this spiritual journal with numerous mantras and prayers ("Krishna guide my chariot, the light is at the end of the path. OM"; "Buddha is everywhere"; "Let God enter, but how to open the door") and he calls upon the Hindu deities as well as the Bodhisattvas Mañju?r? et T?r? - soothing figures of the Buddhist pantheon. Béjart's "Indian period" was particularly rich in choreographic masterpieces, the progress of which can be followed in his diary (Baudelaire at the beginning of the year, the first performance of the Vainqueurs in Brussels and the Quatre fils Aymon in Avignon, as well as the filming and screening of his Indian ballet Bhakti). At the crossroads of New Age and the hippie movement, Béjart's "conversion" is symptomatic of an era that refuses progress and has a thirst for spirituality: "Calcutta is not India, but our western face. It is not religion or traditional thinking that is to blame, but capitalism. India, a rich country before colonisation." The Beatle's visit to the guru Maharishi's ?shram and Ravi Shankar's concert at Woodstock in 1969 marks the beginning of a real western passion for Indian music and culture, which was decisive in Béjart's ballets at the time. In Béjart's eyes, India presents itself as a place where art and ancestral traditions have not suffered the perversions of positivity. In his creations he seeks to express the spirit of a culture that intimately links the body and the spirit, and in which dance plays a major cosmic and spiritual role. Included in his ballets were Indian dance systems and Vedic songs that were discovered thanks to Alain Daniélou - in 1968 he opened the Messe pour temps présent with a long vînâ solo that lasted fifteen minutes: "Béjart is in his Hindu quarter-hour. And over there, Hindu quarter hours, can last for hours..." commented Jean Vilar, director of the Avignon festival. A wave of Indian fashion also passes through the costumes of the Ballet du XXe siècle company: large silk trousers, tunics, jewellery and oriental eyes. In the diary, Béjart states that there is "no truth without yoga," an art discovered from an Indian master that can be found in many of his ballets in the form of dance exercises on the barre. He also decides to make Bhakti "an act of Faith" by filming himself the ballet choreographer, and during the summer he prepares the Vainqueurs, an unusual meeting between Wagner and traditional Indian ragas. Beyond the prolific artist, we also discover the choreographer's troubled personality in the diary, in the grips of doubt and melancholy: "vague state of physical weightlessness and moral emptiness. Lethargy or laziness. Weakness.

"Georges Tournon devait être un artiste parisien qui avait acquis une dextérité certaine dans l'art de croquer le petit peuple de la rue. Il avait une réelle prédilection pour repérer et dessiner d'après-nature des personnages de la misère d'entre les deux guerres. Clochards recroquevillés par le froid et la faim, couples de vieux assis sur un banc, vagabonds errants... il associait à ces exclus « au bout du rouleau », des vendeurs de « quasi-rien », qui, contre quelques sous, cédaient aux passants des fleurs, du mimosa, des plumeaux... ou jouaient de l'orgue de barbarie portatif à la sonorité si déchirante qu'on ne l'oublie pas une fois qu'on l'a entendue."

It is in 1999 during a stay in London that Michael Jackson noticed Arno Bani's work in an issue of the Sunday Times magazine. Fascinated by his fashion shots, he brought the young 23 year old photographer to New York and asked him not only to photograph him, but also to define his look for the next ten years. This meeting will be followed by several working meetings and finally a three-day photoshoot at the Malakoff studios in the southern suburbs of Paris. These photographs, supposed to serve as an illustration for the Invincible album cover, were claimed by Michael Jackson's record company and were not revealed to the public until 2010, the year after the King of Pop's death. «This collaboration will finish Arno Bani's installation as one of the most talented photographers of his generation. Subsequently, he was contacted by fashion and luxury institutions such as Lacroix, Givenchy and Cartier and by musicians such as the duo Air, David Guetta and Bob Sinclar. At 25 years old, Arno Bani is a photographer recognised beyond the borders of fashion.

Ces photographies, supposées servir d'illustration à la pochette de l'album Invincible furent revendiquées par la maison de disques de Michael Jackson et ne furent révélées au public qu'en 2010, année suivant la disparition du king of pop. « Cette collaboration achèvera d'installer Arno Bani comme l'un des photographes les plus doués de sa génération. Par la suite, il est sollicité par des institutions de la mode et du luxe comme Lacroix, Givenchy et Cartier ou par les musiciens du duo air, David Guetta et Bob Sinclar. À vingt-cinq ans, Arno Bani est un photographe reconnu au-delà des frontières de la mode. Faite d'oppositions, mélangeant classicisme et modernité, son approche monochromique de l'image est désormais incontournable et s'exprime dans les pages de Citizen K, Spoon, Visionaire ou Jalouse. Il photographie ainsi Monica Bellucci, Mélanie Thierry ou Noémie Lenoir. » (Catalogue de la vente Pierre Bergé et Associés, décembre 2010)
