Picasso & his friends also enjoyed the artistic atmosphere of Le Lapin Agile. Artists & writers would congregate at the small café to listen to recitals exchange ideas & celebrate special occasions such as the opening of an exhibition Penrose Picasso 117. The walls of the café were lined with work by artists that were used as payment for debts. Theatrical entertainment was a prominent part of Picasso's social life in Paris. By 1904 Picasso had established a foothold in Paris and would remain in the cultural center of Europe for the rest of his life. Picasso & Max Jacob cultivated their talents in a dwelling known as the Bateau Lavoir. According to Penrose this place was ". . . composed it seemed of nothing but lofts & cellars all in such a sad state of repair. . . " Picasso 96. Artists of all endeavors were attracted to this bohemian style of living. Picasso's neighbors included painters sculptors writers & actors Penrose Picasso 102. One of Picasso's most influential friends entered his life in 1905: Guillaume Apollinaire. "From the first encounter Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire established a creative dialogue that fostered and inspired some of their finest art & poetry". Apollinaire was a poet & playwright identified as a Surrealist who kept close connections with literary & artistic figures in Paris including Max Jacob & André Salmon. He was a great source for Picasso to meet writers & theatre artists. Many of Picasso's friends encouraged him to frequent the theatre with artists & poets from Paris Picasso Penrose 177. Even though Picasso was not in Paris he managed to find groups of artistic individuals to stay abreast of cultural gossip & happenings. Picasso's connections with writers led him to create several illustrations for books of poetry for friends.

The very rare poster by Picasso together with the catalogue and the invitation - also with the same image by Picasso - for Paul Eluard's 1937 conference 'Avenir de la Poésie'.Paul Eluard's conference 'Avenir de la Poésie' Future of Poetry was held on October 2nd 1937 at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées 15 Avenue Montaigne the 'Salon Dada' in 1921 had been held at number 13 at 16.15 p.m. as part of the Exposition Internationale 1937. It seems surprising at least with hindsight to imagine that a Surrealist conference might occur under such an umbrella but the Surrealists were nothing if not serious and Eluard's devotion to poetry cannot be questioned or underestimated.'Avenir de la Poésie' saw Eluard as well as a number of actors close to the Surrealists Michèle Alfa Marcel Herrand who had participated at the dada evening 'Le Coeur à Barbe' in 1921 Jean Marchat Jean-Louis Barrault and Sylvain Itkine whose group 'Le Diable Ecarlate' featured extensively in the Exposition reading poems. The list of poets is comprehensive and included Petrus Borel Charles Baudelaire Gérard de Nerval Germain Nouveau the Comte de Lautréamont Isidore Ducasse Rimbaud Charles Cros Jarry Apollinaire Reverdy Breton Henri Michaux Tzara Péret René Char Eluard himself and Picasso.The poster invitation and catalogue all feature to the front cover a reproduction of the engraved collaboration between Picasso and Eluard 'Grand Air'. The very rare print 'Grand Air' was issued - a few proofs aside - only with the ten copies of the édition de tête of Eluard's verse collection 'Les Yeux Fertiles'. Eluard and Picasso had each contributed to 'Grand Air' Eluard a poem of eighteen lines and Picasso the pictorial frame: at right a nude female minotaur a mask opposite at left out of which the minotaur seems to have snatched the left eye above a rocky landscape with a reclining smoking figure with cat beneath; that the cat appears to be suckling three small black fish underlines the essential Surrealism of the whole.'Le pain est plus utile que la poésie. Mais l'amour au sens complet humain du mot l'amour-passion n'est pas plus utile que la poésie.' Paul Eluard. For the material presented here Eluard's central verse has been replaced with the title of the conference 'Avenir de la Poésie' with his retained signature beneath while the entirety of Picasso's framing is present and the image is attributed to him for the catalogue and invitation at lower left. Details of the conference are printed above and beneath for the catalogue and poster and facing the illustration on the invitation.The poster is not described by Christophe Czwiklitzer in his 1968 'Catalogue Raisonné des Affiches de Pablo Picasso'. The first 'original' poster listed an original lithograph is from 1948 while the first 'exécutées par différents procédés de reproduction' is from 1939.While the catalogue 'Avenir de la Poésie' is rare and the invitation rarer still we trace no other examples of the poster in any collection public or private.

1917réf. 78126Paris 1917. Fine. Paris 1917 6.30 x 8.60 cm une photographie Original photograph likely unique and unpublished of Pablo Picasso at the Casa di Marco Lucrezio Pompeii spring 1917 Paris 1917 63 x 86 cm one photograph Original photograph depicting Pablo Picasso in the spring of 1917 at the Casa di Marco Lucrezio in Pompeii holding a twig in front of a wall on which there is a Pompeian fresco. Contemporary silver print perhaps unique from Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection. Exceptional almost undiscovered and probably unpublished photograph taken by Jean Cocteau during the stay. On 16 April 1917 Picasso visits Pompeii accompanied by Jean Cocteau and Léonide Massine to prepare the ballet Parade the first work described as surrealist by Guillaume Apollinaire for the new season of Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. On his return this initiatory journey inspired his monumental painting: the Parade stage curtain a real visual signature of the ballet marking the beginnings of Picasso's neo-classical period and today preserved at the Musée national d'Art Moderne Georges Pompidou. Pierre Daix in his bibliography dedicated to the painter recounts the aesthetic shock caused by the discovery of the Pompeian frescoes: Giovanni Carandente to whom we owe the best studies on this trip highlights that Picasso was strongly struck by the animation and the sensuality that the cataclysm of the year 79 AD had brutally destroyed. If it is true as he wrote to Gertrude Stein that he immediately drew many Pompeian fantasies which are a little daring attracted as he was by the erotic elation that emerges from these licentious paintings . these memories settled in him to emerge with force thereafter. . Everything that had made up the Pompeian universe was preserved on the site as well as in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples . In its singularity this universe contributed to enriching Picasso's cultural heritage with something more alive more trembling than he had gained from his museum visits until then. He particularly loved the conciseness of the paintings: two or three years later the impressions felt in Pompeii were to translate into a real creative explosion a series of paintings which all bore traces of these never buried memories. This source was to remain alive until La Danse of 1925. Pierre Daix Picasso. Unique and early original photograph of Picasso taken and printed by his friend Jean Cocteau in a mythical place that will influence his aesthetic for the long-term.

1916réf. 78127Paris 1916. Fine. Paris 12 août 1916 6.30 x 8.60 cm une feuille Original photograph likely unique taken by Jean Cocteau showing Pablo Picasso and Co in Montparnasse in front of the café La Rotonde the 12 August 1916 Paris 12 august 1916 63 x 86 cm one photograph Original photograph by Jean Cocteau taken on 12 August 1916 showing Manuel Ortiz de Zárate Moïse Kisling Max Jacob Pablo Picasso and the model Pâquerette his girlfriend at the time posing in front of the famous café La Rotonde on Boulevard du Montparnasse in Paris. Contemporary silver print probably unique from Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection. This image was published in Billy Klüver's book entitled A day with Picasso: twenty-four photographs by Jean Cocteau 1997. However Klüver states that he didn't know the original photograph and used a modern reprint from the negative in the Cocteau archives for his work. We have not found any other copy of our original photograph in international public collections. Billy Klüver has assembled and commented on the twenty-one photographs taken by Jean Cocteau on 12 August 1916 in Montparnasse close to this intersection of the Boulevard Raspail and the Boulevard du Montparnasse which was named Place Pablo-Picasso in 1994. They take us to the café La Rotonde before which a beaming Picasso in a cap speaks with Max Jacob whose baldness shines in the sun behind them Henri-Pierre Roché in uniform and Manuel Ortiz de Zarate sit at a table on the terrace of the same café where Pablo is next to the glowing Pâquerette and the young Polish painter Moïse Kisling. Pâquerette with her hair in a headband a chic dress is the queen of the encounter. . It's the relaxed life at the back. Pâquerette or rather Émilienne Pâquerette Geslot was then a star model of the fashion designer Poiret who was all the rage at the time. A real one-day film of Picasso outside of his studio. Pierre Daix Picasso In his book Klüver questions the presence of all these artistic authorities in the making in a Paris that is deserted by war. The answer is according to him to search in the direction of the Salon d'Antin an exhibition organized by André Salmon in July 1916 in which all the protagonists of our photograph took part with the exception of Pâquerette. It is also on this occasion that Picasso reveals his Demoiselles d'Avignon to the public. This extremely rare image taken by Jean Cocteau with his mother's Kodak camera immortalizes a moment of joy that depicts the artistic all-Montparnasse of the early 20th century. Provenance: Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection and Max-Philippe Delatte. unknown

It remains renowned for its striking juxtapositions: Rather than assemble documents from separate fields rather than uphold the usual subordination of image to text the journal gives photography drawing and image the privilege of being the most primal substance or the most original trace of human expression Georges Sebbag. Ethnography Documents is remembered above all for Batailles radical ethnographic stance focused on the material and detached from aesthetic criteria and the usual fascination with exoticism. These groundbreaking views foreshadow the Collège de sociologie that Bataille would later found with Michel Leiris Roger Caillois and Jules Moncrot. They are also reflected in the journal through numerous photographs of masks stones and other non-Western artistic creations Siberian Chinese. set alongside modern artworks including drawings by Klee and paintings by Picasso. Bataille also collaborated with the notorious Hans Bellmer who would go on to illustrate the famous second edition of Histoire de lil to create a terrifying portrait of the Hindu goddess of destruction Kali. photography The journal places particular emphasis on photography. Among its most celebrated contributions are the close-up photographs of toes by Jacques-André Boiffard accompanying Batailles essay on the foot in issue no. 6: The point of this article lies in an insistence on directly and explicitly challenging what seduces without relying on poetic contrivances which ultimately amount to little more than diversion Bataille concludes.

Overall a scarce original drawing by Picasso of one of his favorite subjects. Between 1950 and 1953 was a highly productive and innovative period for Picasso. During that time he lived in Vallauris in the South of France with Françoise Gilot and their two children and worked out of the perfume-factory-turned-art-studio Le Fournas and at the Madoura workshop. The Nov. 24-Dec. 19 1953 exhibition at Curt Valentin Gallery showcased the range of Picasso's work during those years featuring 28 oil paintings 18 sculptures 6 ceramics 11 lithographs and 2 aquatints. New York Times art critic Howard Devree writes of the exhibition "Here are some of the diabolical deliberately ugly profile-and-full-face-at-once portraits; landscapes semi-abstract and semi-expressionist which are powerful formal organizations; ceramics such as 'The Picador' which are primarily decorative; sculptures such as the preternaturally wise or witch-like owls in several media; at least one figure 'The Kneeling Woman' in which he seems to have extended cubism; lithographs and aquatints which make one marvel anew at his unmatched wizardry of linear expressiveness " Nov. 29 1953. The bull was a recurring and totemic motif in Picasso's work throughout his entire career. His fascination with the animal stemmed from childhood when he was often taken by his father to Spanish bullfights in his hometown in Málaga Spain. Even in the Curt Valentin exhibition there were multiple works related to bulls and bullfighting including the ceramics "Blue Picador" "Picador" and "Toreador." Hôtel Drouot is a historic auction venue in Paris France that has been in operation since 1852. The venue has long been recognized as the keystone of the Paris art market and is home to about 70 independent auction firms. . Inscribed. First Edition. Original Wrappers. Near Fine.

1947réf. 48620Paris.: Latitud Curenta y Uno. Le Degré Quarante et Un / 41º. 1947 / 1948. . Oblong folio. 396 x 620 mm. Etching grattoir and burin on copper by Picasso printed on a full sheet of parchment pierced at edges for printing and with central fold by Roger Lacourière Paris; sheet size: 396 x 310 mm folded 396 x 620 mm unfolded. A very rare signed proof of the cover for 'Pis'mo: Escrito por Iliazd / Grabado por Picasso' Picasso's 1948 collaboration with Iliazd.Picasso's etching with grattoir and burin is for the vellum cover of the 1948 book 'Pis'mo' also known as 'Escrito por Iliazd / Grabado por Picasso'. The text of the book is a love poem in Russian by Iliazd one of the very few he wrote after leaving Georgia inspired by his meeting with Olga Djordjadze - Picasso too met her later - in Cannes in 1946. Picasso's print includes the title in Russian correctly at the top and incorrectly and effaced beneath as well as at right the figure of a woman seen from behind and turned away from the viewer; Picasso has dated the print '3 mars 47' in the copperplate which is printed in reverse.The present proof is printed on a sheet of vellum as for the published book although slightly whiter and slightly thinner than the published version and while it does have a central fold it is unfolded at the head and foot and is pierced around the outer edge of the sheet with small pinholes as part of the printing process. Signed at lower right by Picasso the sheet is annotated by Iliazd verso above and beneath the visible platemark 'haut' and 'bas' and 'Plier à l'envers'; Iliazd appears too to have drawn a pencil frame it differs from the engraved area to the verso beneath the 'haut' and 'bas'. A different hand has annotated the foot of the blank area adjacent to the printed section: 'Picasso P. Eau-forte pour la couverture du livre d'Iliazd 'ESCRITO' 1er Epreuve d'essai sur parchemin / le livre a été tiré à 66 exemplaires'.Proofs of the cover are very rare and examples signed by Picasso rarer still. Baer suggests that several trials and proofs were taken from Picasso's plate noting the 'bon à tirer' example on 'vélin sans filigrane' Georges Bloch's copy on parchment inscribed 'tirage d'essai' by Iliazd and signed at a later date by Picasso 'environ 7 épreuves sur parchemin avec annotations d'Iliazd sur la préparation du parchemin et le séchage' as well as a final signed example sold by Sotheby's in the 1970s.'In his poem 'Rogelio Lacourière pêcheur de cuivres' published in 'Hommage à Roger Lacourière 1968 Iliazd recalls in poetic terms the genesis of the book's title etching. The story goes that Lacourière had given Picasso a plate which was too large and which had a white mark to indicate where it should later be cut. Picasso - tempted by this extra space and the unexpected freedom it gave him - etched a nude on it. Lacourière therefore refrained from cutting the plate and Iliazd noticed that the asymmetry thus created in the title etching echoed his conception of the folded pages: the 'magnaminous' painter had 'transfigured' the book.'

Celui-ci l' un des 15 ex. numérotés sur vergé d'Arches (n°12), SIGNÉ PAR PAUL ÉLUARD ET MAX ERNST, ACCOMPAGNÉ DE 4 SUPERBES LITHOGRAPHIES ORIGINALES À PLEINE PAGE TIRÉES EN NOIR SUR VERGÉ DE HOLLANDE DE MAX ERNST (seuls les 20 premiers exemplaires en grand papier contiennent ces lithographies). - Note bibliographique et historique : Max Ernst avait prévu une série de douze lithographies, mais seules quatre d’entre elles furent publiées dans l’édition de luxe à petit nombre. Un an plus tôt, en 1938, désapprouvant ses positions trotskystes, Éluard avait rompu avec Breton : À sa suite Max Ernst quitte le groupe surréaliste outré d’avoir à subir l’exigence de « saboter la poésie de Paul Éluard par tous les moyens » (in Centre Georges Pompidou, Paul Éluard et ses amis peintres, 1982, p.109).
