HALF TITLE WITH ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR OF BLUE LEAVES AND INSCRIPTION BY BRAQUE: "Pour Max Pellequer bien amicalement G. Braque 1951." Peyré "Peinture et Poésie" p. 149; The Artist and the Book 1860-1960 37. Isolated faint marginal foxing slight crease to title page but a VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and bright internally in a pristine binding. Bound to a sculptural Art Deco design and elegantly illustrated and inscribed by a great 20th century artist this is a collection of five poems about "sapates"--valuable gifts hidden inside a gift of lesser value such as a diamond ring inside a cupcake. Our volume does not fall under this category: its outside is every bit as impressive as the contents. The celebrated French artist Georges Braque 1882-1963 was a painter collagist printmaker and sculptor who made important contributions to the Fauves movement in the early 20th century and to the development of Cubism in which he and Picasso were the leading lights. The illustrations here done near the end of his long career depict the five "sapates"--oil olives a jug a rough sketch of a fish a shutter--in simple black and white with more realism than his Cubist works but still in simple pared-down lines. To accompany the inscription of this volume to banker Max Pellequer d. 1974 nephew of Picasso's friend André Level Braque added a small painting of cerulean blue leaves a single note of color in the blacks whites and grays of the text and one picked up by binder François Brindeau who used that hue for the lettering on the covers. Brindeau studied at the École Estienne graduating in 1976 and then worked with Jean de Gonet. He created the present binding for bibliophile and former Olympic rowing medalist Maurice Houdayer 1931-2020 a connoisseur of contemporary bindings who had a great love of Art Deco. Houdayer served as president of the Amis de la Reliure Originale and assembled an impressive collection of illustrated books in bindings he commissioned from innovative designers. Montpellier-born poet Francis Ponge 1899-1988 was known as "the poet of things" because he wrote about simple everyday objects like the subjects of the present work. His poetry invites us to contemplate often overlooked commonplace objects and perhaps in doing so to discover something about the human psyche. Literary critic David Gascoyne noted that Ponge "addressed himself to the common reader in the hope of persuading us that poetry is not merely a preoccupation of the idle and overeducated.".

1960réf. N - 2026 - 1Authors: Daisetz T. Suzuki E. Herrigel Georges Braque. Illustrator : George Braque Publisher : Paris Louis Broder1960. Artist's book "Le Tir à l'Arc" The Art of Archery. Selected texts from D.T Suzuki and E. Herrigel "Le Zen dans l'art cavaleresque" 1955 and aphorisms and thoughts by George Braque from his own notebooks "Cahiers d'Art de 1917 a 1952". Illustrated by Braque with eight lithographs of which six in color one in black and one in pink and white printed across the spread endpapers with a mirrored composition; together with a black‑and‑white etching on the front wrappers and two woodcuts on gray paper also reproduced on the protective chemise and box. Limited edition of 165 numbered copies printed on vélin de chiffon handmade at the Moulin d'Ambert with cover wrappers in Antaimoro paper. Loose as issued preserved in the original silk‑covered hard chemise and housed within the original Japanese‑style silk folding case with ivory clasp. Braque's images fuse seamlessly with the accompanying Zen texts creating a visual meditation on focus intuition and the "empty mind" that illuminates the writings of D.T. Suzuki and Eugen Herrigel. Herrigel's Zen in the Art of Archery a classic account of his six‑year immersion in Japanese archery KyūdÅ during the 1920s explores the discipline as a gateway to understanding Zen Buddhism while Suzuki one of the most influential figures in bringing Zen thought to the West provides the philosophical and spiritual framework that illuminates archery as a contemplative path. Woven into this dialogue are Braque's own aphorisms and reflections with their emphasis on nuance intuition and the quiet interior space from which art emerges. Together these elements create a rare and compelling bridge between modern abstract art and Zen philosophy. In very good condition but some age spotting on the paper inside. A small restoration has been carried out on the top inch of the spine of the endpaper barely visible. Reference: Dora Vallier 153 Louis Broder books

réf. 123672Musée du Louvre Paris 1961 . Lithographic poster in colours 1961 on Arches paper from the edition of 1000 printed by Mourlot Editions published by Musée du Louvre Paris 76.2 x 52.1 cm. 30 x 20½ in. Founded in 1852 by the Mourlot family Atelier Mourlot revolutionised and brought about the resurgence of modern lithography. Collaborating with renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso Joan Miró and Fernand Léger the studio elevated art posters and prints to coveted masterpieces in their own right. Inviting prominent artists to work directly on the lithographic stone used in the process of lithography Mourlot positioned the lithograph as a painter's medium. Refining the lithographic technique through precise experiments the studio facilitated the creation of long-lasting vibrant and original artworks accessible to the wider public.
