Orphée Signed limited edition

1933réf. 8090London: Oxford University Press 1933. First edition in English. Very Good. One of a hundred copies signed by Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso on the limitation page and with the Oxford University Press typewritten publication announcement laid in. A Very Good copy. With two plates: a frontispiece by Picasso designed specifically for this edition and a photo reproduction of Cocteau in costume as Huertebise. Publisher's black cloth elegantly rebacked in white leather. Boards and spine titled in gilt. Slight wear to edges of boards and some foxing mostly to preliminaries. Orphée Jean Cocteau's retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was first performed in French in Paris in 1926. This Oxford University Press edition was the first publication of the play in English and the first to feature the frontispiece by Picasso which was designed for this edition and features an abstract portrait of Orpheus with a lyre. The publication announcement reads "For this English edition Picasso has done a frontispiece and for that reason alone should make of this book a production of unique importance.The fact that for 12/6 purchasers can own the signature of both Cocteau and Picasso ought to guarantee the rapid exhaustion of the limited copies." Cocteau loosely adapted Orphée into the 1950 film Orpheus. The film became the second part of his Orphic Trilogy preceded by The Blood of a Poet 1930 and followed by Testament of Orpheus 1960. Orpheus remains Cocteau's most acclaimed film . "Orphée should appeal strongly to all who delight in finding the joy of new artistic vision and expression. The play is unlike anything that has been done before.It would be foolish to pretend that Orphée is everyone's meat. But everyone ought to experiment and see at least whether it is his" publication announcement. Very Good. Oxford University Press unknown

1948réf. 822941948. Fine. s. d. vers 1948 17.30 x 21.30 cm une feuille Original photograph of Pablo Picasso in his workshop in Vallauris with his ceramics and plaster s.d. around 1948 Photograph: 17.3 x 21.3cm; Leaf: 18 x 24cm one leaf. Splendid portrait of Pablo Picasso taken by Michel Sima in Picasso's Madoura workshop in Vallauris with his ceramics and a plaster model of his Centaure 1948. Contemporary silver print. Pencil inscription on the back. Thanks to the author of this superb portrait Picasso began his impressive ceramic production at the Madoura workshop in the small town of Vallauris known for its pottery tradition. Sima photographed with vigour the master and his many creations exhibited on the bare walls of his workshop bathed with Mediterranean light. Picasso produced 2000 unique pieces between 1947 and 1948 and revolutionised the forms and techniques of this medium to which he added fragments of pigments saggar broken bricks to the bellies of his ceramics in the form of owls doves fauna invisible women. ""Au mois de septembre 1946 Pablo Picasso installe son atelier dans les combles du château Grimaldi d'Antibes dans une ancienne ""salle des gardes"" dont le conservateur Romuald Dor de la Souchère lui a confié les clés pour qu'il y travaille à sa guise. C'est l'artiste Michel Sima sculpteur et photographe qui a fait se rencontrer les deux hommes. Arrivé de sa Pologne natale en 1929 Sima de son vrai nom Michel Smajewski avait fait la connaissance de Picasso à Paris où il avait fréquenté l'Académie de la Grande Chaumière et été l'élève de Zadkine. De la mi-septembre à la mi-novembre 1946 à Antibes puis en 1947-48 et jusqu'au début des années 50 à Vallauris Sima photographiera régulièrement Picasso qui se prête volontiers au jeu de la pose - seul ou avec sa compagne Françoise Gilot devant des oeuvres terminées ou en cours d'achèvement fixant l'objectif ou au contraire concentré sur son travail"" Anne de Staël L'Atelier des combles 2009. Magnificent contrasting and brilliant print of Pablo Picasso in his creative sanctuary. Provenance: Paul Destribats collection. unknown
