1959ref. 18109New York: Pierre Matisse 1959. FIRST EDITION. Complete with 22 pochoir reproductions after gouaches by the artist on Arches wove paper with the title page text in French by André Breton table of contents and justification signed by the artist in blue ink and the author in red ink. Complete with 2 original lithographs sheet size 17 ½ x 14” image: 12 x 9 3/4” hand-numbered and signed by Miró in pencil at lower margin each framed. The pochoirs are laid into their original paper folders all in the original illustrated portfolio housed in its beige linen box illustrated in black by Miró on front cover and spine; box has been repaired. First edition of this luxurious publication. No. 109 of 150 copies which include the 2 signed and numbered lithographs the total edition was 384. Miró began the series of gouaches reproduced in Constellations on September 21 1940 in Varengeuville Normandy where he was exiled from Francoist Spain. He created ten of the gouaches before the invasion of France by German troops pushed him to flee the country with his wife and daughter. He completed the twenty-third and final gouache of the series on September 12 1941. The village where he stayed was subject to a blackout and that fact prompted Miro's most luminous and affecting series of paintings the Constellations. Miró was originally in discussions with MoMA to exhibit Constellations but it was ultimately with the New York gallery owner Pierre Matisse that the complete series of 22 gouaches would be exhibited Miró having wished to keep the twenty-third in early 1945. It was not until 1959 when Matisse decided to publish reproductions. André Breton had been inspired by the series and wrote poems to accompany each work of art. Of the 384 copies produced only the first 150 included the 2 additional signed and numbered lithographs. In his preface to this edition Breton emphasized the historical significance. With the background of war and the occupation of France these works symbolized the triumphal “resistance” of art and the spirit of man in the face of the menace. They became the first new works from Europe to be exhibited in America following the ending of hostilities. The 22 works are arranged in the chronological order of their creation thus respecting one of the instructions given by the artist at the time of the New York exhibition. This arrangement was so important to Miró that as early as 1957 he insisted that each one indicate the date and place it was created. This information is reproduced on the back of the gouaches with a facsimile drawing. Pierre Matisse unknown

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).
