""Le Soleil des eaux : spectacle pour une toile des pêcheurs was presented by René Char as a commissioned work. The original idea conceived in 1946 was to make a film but it ultimately Le Soleil des eaux cam to life as a radio production. Broadcast in 1948 with music by Pierre Boulez the text was published the following year by the bookseller Henri Matarasso."" René Char dans le miroir des eaux 2008 no. 35. Following this trial proof the work was printed in an edition of 200 copies on Marais vellum by the Lacourière press. This proof remains unrecorded even in the latest catalogue raisonné by Orozco. Dora Vallier recounts the genesis of the collaboration between Char and Braque that paved the way for one of his finest illustrated books: ""During the summer of 1947 Braque had travelled to Avignon for the exhibition of Peintures et sculptures contemporaines organised by Christian and Yvonne Zervos at the Palais des Papes and it was there in René Char's native region of Vaucluse that the meeting between the painter and the poet took place. This meeting lead to the illustration of Le Soleil des eaux. Braque knew Provence well as he stayed there on numerous occasions since 1906 and was thus perhaps more attuned than anyone to the evocation of that other Provence condemned to disappear which forms the central theme of Le Soleil des eaux.""

Le Tir a l’Arc. Mis en lumier par George Braque.

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
