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.

réf. 5733Japan: 17th or 18th century. In the seventh and eighth centuries when trade flourished with the rest of Asia especially Korea and China Japanese nobility melded foreign dance and music traditions with native Shinto songs. This amalgam was eventually incorporated into official court functions and became so important that it even merited the establishment of a ministry of dance in 701. Trained court nobles and professionals were the only ones permitted to execute these complex choreographies. Bugaku now known as gagaku was a type of dance performed at the imperial court during the Edo period. At the beginning of the scroll which takes place in the emperor's palace one sees large drums called dadaiko framed by flames and dragons. On top of one of the larger drums there is a motif of the sun. These drums are accompanied by musicians playing a mouth organ sho a bamboo flute ryuteki and smaller drums in the gakuya the musicians' section. They sit under an elaborately decorated banner and provide a steady rhythm for the dancers on stage before them. The elevated stage takabutai where two dancers are performing enbu is adorned with a highly ornate brocade drape. This scroll is illustrated with the kingin deie method in which gold or silver is mixed with animal glue then pasted onto the scroll. This rare technique provides an almost three-dimensional quality to the images. The scroll depicts 43 distinct dances each with unique costumes. The costumes are particularly well-rendered in bright red orange teal blue black grey etc. and many display intricate and mesmerizing patterns. The head-pieces costumes and props are all masterfully portrayed. Gold is featured prominently in many of the costumes and throughout the scroll there are "mists" of gold painted in the background. Above each set of dancers the name of the dance is written. They include: manzairaku engiraku katen karyobin kocho komaboko seigaiha genjoraku dakyuraku konju bato kitoku bairo ryoo and nasori. At the end of the scroll there is another view of the gakuya from a diiferent perspective showing the backs of the drums which are exquisitely decorated in silver. Fine condition. Several images have some creasing but this is not serious. unknown books

1920- 1920-1922, oeuvres : 23x30cm ; cadres : 38,4x48,6cm, trois feuilles sous cadres. - Three original gouaches around dance by Loïs Hutton. 1. Original gouache with dancers May 16th 1920 | work: 23 x 30 cm frame: 38,4 x 48,6 cm | framed leaf This early composition, one of the rare ones still preserved, attests to her modernism and total symbiosis with her choreography. The dominant curves of the bodies in this Gouache with dancers, dated "May 16th 1920" evokes the androgynous silhouettes of Matisse's round dance (La Danse, 1910), as does the choice of vibrant blue and dark ochre tints. A Cubist aesthetic appears in the movement of the dancers with their unrelenting symmetrical balance - while the boldly contoured kaleidoscopic designs betray the influence of Vorticism, whose members during the same period assiduously frequented the underground club of Loïs' lover, Margaret Morris. This work from the London era will find its fulfilment the following year in the choreographies created in France where the Margaret Morris School settle in the summer. The photographs of these sensational performances from Dinard to Cap d'Antibes show very similar compositions, notably one of the scenes of Hutton's ballet, entitled Étincelles, created in 1922 to music by Maurice Ravel. 2. Signed original gouache "Background design, 1922" 1922 | work: 26,5 x 36 cm frame: 40 x 50 cm one framed leaf One of the only original preserved stage decor sketches by Loïs Hutton, also one of the first of her career. This abstract composition reflects the artist's incredible versatility. She flourished both as a principal dancer at her lover's school, the Margaret Morris School as well as a choreographer, set and costume designer. These painted sets on large fabrics served as the backdrop to the school's dance troupe productions and solo dances by Loïs who had previously painted a design on canvas based on a sketch by her mentor the Fauvist painter John Duncan Fergusson. Trying her hand here at a radically new and ambitious style, her design joinsthe angular movements of her dances and is inspired by the teachings of Cézanne: "Everything in nature is modelled on the sphere, the cone and the cylinder" (letter to Emile Bernard). This vital attention paid to volumes goes hand in hand with a fragmentation of motives close to Edward Wadsworth's Vorticism. Hutton visited at that time Wadsworth and the group of Vorticists in Morris' Chelsea underground club, a laboratory of modern dance where the set in its large-format version may have been displayed in December 1921 or the following year as suggested by the two dates on the lower part of the composition and on the back. 3. Signed original gouache "Composition - Ground design of dance, fool's dance" may 22 1919 | work: 20 x 25,5 cm; frame: 30 x 40 cm | one leaf One of Loïs Hutton's rare abstract works, a horizontal and graphic exploration (entitled "Ground design") of her Fool's Dance choreography. A hypnotic solo dance that she performed for the first time in January 1920 to music by Edvard Grieg. In this interesting and innovative vision of dance, Loïs Hutton lays down the products of the force of her choreographic movements on paper: a ballet of lines and curves filled with vivid colours. This fluid and dynamic composition is marked out by a square with asserted outlines, acting as both a physical support for the painting and a material surface for the scene where its movements unfold - an essential space of creation to be compared with the "original plan" theorised several years later by Kandinsky in Point et ligne sur plan (1926). Presented at the Margaret Morris Club in Chelsea where her very first creations were born, Fool's Dance will be performed again at the Château des Deux Rives in Dinard in July of the same year. It earned Hutton one of her first mentions as a performer and choreographer in the French press, in the newspaper Comoedia on 20 July 1920, and marks the beginning of her notoriety in France.

No Location 1887 20 x 32 cm 1 portrait-frontispice 1 titre à l'encre 83 p. manuscrites qq. feuillets vierges Exceptional illuminated manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé probably copied by Joris-Karl Huysmans on watermarked Hollande laid paper after pre-first editions of the poems published in journals. Most of the poems are preceded by a separate title-page noting the source from which it is taken. The manuscript includes a fine charcoal portrait of Mallarmé as a frontispiece by Charles Tichon after a photographic portrait by Van Bosch. The portrait was published in the Mallarmé issue of Empreintes Bruxelles LÉcran du Monde n° 10-11. Another version was published in 1889 Caprice Revue 2e année n° 60. two floral compositions in gouache and watercolor illustrating the poems Les Fleurs and Apparition as well the calligraphed author's name as a title-page. Although unsigned the illutrations are attributed to Louise or Marie Danse. Bradel binding contemporary cream silk boards with floral motif two embroidered green silk markers with floral motif gilt semis patternerd flyleaves and pastedowns slightly faded red edges. Dampstains on the lower part of the lower board rubbed corners a few silk threads loosened on the spine rubbed boards. Outstanding manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé written shortly before the first collected edition of his poetry of which only 47 copies were ever printed Poésies photolithographed Revue indépendante 1887. This carefully calligraphed collection is attributed to the hand of writer Joris-Karl Huysmans a great admirer of the poet who is said to have given the manuscripts to his friend Jules Destrée. This scribal manuscript which includes some of Mallarmés most celebrated pieces such as Hérodiade L'Après-midi d'un faune Le tombeau d'Edgar Poe Prose pour des Esseintes Le vierge le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui appeared for the first time in the posthumous sale of the Belgian politician and writer Jules Destrée in 1936 at the Galerie Leopold in Brussels. A pencil note on the title page of the collection reads: According to Mr. Simonson expert at the Destrée sale this manuscript was sent by J.K. Huysmans to Jul. Destrée who wanted to read Mallarmé's poems which remained unpublished at the time. Verified through Huysmans' correspondence sold on the same day as this manuscript. As evidenced in their letters Destrée did seek out the help of his friend Huysmans to obtain Mallarmé poems as his work was not readily accessible being for the most part published in journals L'Artiste Les Lettres et les Arts La République des lettres etc. and in the collections of Le Parnasse contemporain. In a letter to Destrée Huysmans wrote You ask me where Mallarmé's poems can be found. They are untraceable but they are in this envelope. Published in 1876 in La République des Lettres they were copied at least the best ones by Le Chat Noir in 1886. I bought two issues which allows me to send them to you. You will see that they are superb written in clear incisive and very strange language. 30 November 1887. It is possible that the poems in this envelope mentioned by Huysmans are the ones Destrée later had bound in this manuscript collection. Huysmans may have copied for Destrée the poems from the journals he only had one copy of and sent him his extra copy of Le Chat Noir from 1886 which included the prose poems Plaintes d'automne Frisson d'hiver I et II and Le Phénomène futur. The writing style of the poems in the collection is indeed very similar to Huysmans' own handwriting his manuscript of his poem collection Le Drageoir à épices displays the same rounded curling style. However Huysmans' handwriting varies considerably depending on the circumstances: novel manuscripts letters first drafts etc. The excessively neat calligraphy of the poems contrasts with the hasty tall and cramped handwriting of sever s. n. hardcover
