réf. 182357Paris: Fernand Mourlot 1972. From Chagall's estate signed by artist and author First edition number 15 of 205 copies on vélin d'Arches signed by the artist and author. A novelist poet and art critic Bourniquel had been literary director of Esprit since 1957 and had won the Prix Médicis in 1970 for Sélinonte ou La Chambre impériale. Closely connected with the painters of his generation he here offers a series of reflections on Chagall's work accompanied by ten original colour lithographs. The book belongs to the later phase of Chagall's nearly sixty-year engagement with the illustrated book a medium in which the relationship between text and image offered him a continuing field for experiment. The text was printed at the Imprimerie Nationale and the lithographs on Mourlot's presses in Paris; the work was completed on 20 March 1972. This copy was retained in Chagall's estate until its sale at Sotheby's in 2025. Quarto. With 10 full-page colour lithographs on velin d'Arches paper.

Title to front cover verso and interior of folding flap with text 'Europe' by James Thrall Soby page also to interior of wrapper with 'Catalogue' with artist title and date of each work leaf of white paper with the text 'America' by Nicola Calas recto verso with blank leaf with notes here with numerous signatures see below following fold-out spread with monochrome reproduction photograph by George Platt Lynes of the participating artists see also below recto and verso also with the text 'America' concluding on the inner rear wrapper. PROVENANCE: Margaret and Alfred Barr; acquired from Barr's estate by Thomas Walther; private collection Berlin. Margaret and Alfred Barr's presentation copy of the catalogue for the exhibition they had done so much to enable signed by all of the participating artists and by the gallerist Pierre Matisse.Pierre Matisse's presentation is in black ink to the foot of the blank 'Notes' leaf bearing the signatures of the participating artists: 'THIS IS A SPECIALLY SIGNED COPY FOR MARGARET AND ALFRED BARR / Pierre Matisse / NEW YORK MARCH 3d 1942'.The copy is signed in various colour inks by all of the participants: Marc Chagall blue ink Pavel Tchelitchew turquoise Ossip Zadkine red Eugene Berman purple Yves Tanguy umber Fernad Léger red Max Ernst blue André Masson red André Breton turquoise Amedée Ozenfant blue Kurt Seligmann umber Piet Mondrian blue / black Roberto Matta Echaurren sepia and Jacques Lipchitz green.It is significant that Margaret Scholari Barr known as Marga is listed first in the presentation by Pierre Matisse as from 1940 she had taken charge of the ongoing operations to help artists and writers fleeing Europe. Each individual required 'a visa from the State Department an affidavit of financial support an affidavit of moral sponsorship vouching that he or she was in imminent danger and would not be inimical to U.S. interests biographical sketches and letters of reference proving identities and the above and at least $400 for ocean passage'. In conjunction with Curt Valentin himself a beneficiary of the Barrs' help Kay Sage she married Yves Tanguy another beneficiary in 1940 Kay Boyle and the Emergency Rescue Committee. Although no exact list of all of those who benefited from the help of the Barrs and the ERC remains extant the majority of those who exhibited in 'Artists in Exile' did and the present catalogue represents a remarkable testament to their work their efforts and their humanity.The exhibition - perhaps an unlikely one given the range of participants and their differing outlooks temperaments and sympathies - was held at Pierre Matisse 41 East 57th Street New York from 3rd - 28th March 1942; each of the artists contributed one work undertaken after their arrival in the US those by Masson and Lipchitz were courtesy of the Buchholz Gallery.'Pierre Matisse did not run after publicity but there were times when publicity ran after him. That is what happened in March 1942 when the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York opened a show called 'Artists in Exile'. The title came fraught with pathos. So did the timing . The word 'exile' had sharp teeth . As he wrote to his father . 'I stayed in town to hang the exiles' show today instead of tomorrow. I took this precaution because all the exhibitors are right here in town. You know what they are like. They'd insist on giving me advice and making sure that their own painting had a very goood place . They number fourteen in all and I got them together for a group photograph. As most of them didn't speak to one another when they were in France I was afraid there would be trouble when they were all thrown together . '. Pierre Matisse quoted by John Russell.'In no sense were they a band of brothers. But they did all agree to huddle together before the camera . Given the variety of age instinct outlook nationality and relative achievement that was in question the show was necessarily the equivalent of alphabet soup. It was not likely that the fourteen artists in question would ever again be in the same room at the same time. Not only were they a tight fit in the space available but solidarity was minimal. And yet for an uneasy quarter of an hour along with other unlikely conjunctions André Masson sat next to Piet Mondrian and Marc Chagall sat between Max Ernst and Fernand Léger. There was zero eye contact. Unsmiling they sat stiff and still and stared straight ahead.' James Russell.' . as the situation became increasingly desperate across the Atlantic i.e. in Europe in the 1930s European artists scholars and arts workers began reaching out to MoMA for help. Working in concert with the Emergency Rescue Commitee ERC a group of New York-based activists MoMA staff including director Alfred H. Barr Jr. and his wife art historian Margaret Scholari Barr who led the initiative at the Museum helped their peers in Europe secure the papers and funds necessary to immigrate to the US . Scholari Barr made 'rescue' operations her full-time occupation in these years . Artists including André Breton Marc Chagall Max Ernst and Piet Mondrian were able to relocate here through the aid of the Barrs and the ERC.' MoMA catalogue.'Sometimes doing more than the government was willing to do MoMA was the final hope for many. The Barrs took advantage of their contacts and MoMA’s reputation to turn the museum into a literal protector and defender of modern art.'

Un volume in-folio (450 x 345 mm) en feuilles sous couverture imprimée rempliée, chemise titrée or et étui de l'éditeur recouverts de toile écrue. - 38 LITHOGRAPHIES ORIGINALES DE MARC CHAGALL : 15 EN COULEURS DONT 3 À DOUBLE PAGE (450 x 687 mm) ET 18 EN NOIR.

Celui-ci est un exemplaire de collaborateur, il n'est donc ni numéroté ni signé. - Note historique et bibliophilique : Le sujet du cirque est l’un des thèmes les plus importants dans l’œuvre de Marc Chagall. Cette fascination remonte à l'enfance, quand il vit à Vitebsk une petite troupe itinérante exécuter quelques acrobaties maladroites devant un public indifférent : cette triste performance était-elle le destin de toute vie d’artiste ? C’est Ambroise Vollard, lui-même très amateur de cirque, qui incita Chagall à développer ce thème, mais c’est Tériade, qui après la mort de Vollard, le convainquit de travailler à un livre illustré de lithographies. Accompagné de textes de l’artiste, CIRQUE est certainement la meilleure réalisation lithographique de Chagall avec Daphnis & Chloé paru en 1961 chez le même éditeur, "sans aucun doute le plus personnel de tous ses livres, le plus exceptionnel aussi par l'intensité du trait et des couleurs, mais aussi par l'harmonie qu'il crée entre texte et peinture, enfin par le caractère même et la qualité de l'écriture" (Hommage à Tériade, Grand Palais, 1973). - ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985) : CIRQUE, Tériade Editeur, Paris, 1967 (book/ portfolio).
