rif. 21666DEGAS EDGAR. 1834-1917. French artist and one of the founders of Impressionism. ALS. "Degas". 1p. 12mo. Paris July 26 1897. To Monsieur Baudin possibly French porcelain maker labor activist and member of the Chamber of Deputies EUGÈNE BAUDIN 1853-1918. In French with translation. "If you are still at Mont Dore the 3rd or the 4th we are going to see one another. I am going there for a cure. I am writing to you in Paris hoping it will be forwarded to you and at the same time I am writing to Mont Dore assuming that the mailman will find you…" Degas began to study painting early – first at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and then in Italy. He exhibited his realistic works at the Salon but by the 1870s he had become disillusioned with that staid institution. At that time he took a leading role among his colleagues Renoir Monet Sisley and Pissarro to launch their own exhibit in 1874. Famously Monet's Impression: Sunrise was on viewearning its members the appellation "Impressionists" a term which Degas firmly rejected. Unlike many of his Impressionist colleagues Degas is not known for landscapes but rather for subjects such as racehorses bathers and dancers through which he depicted the experience of isolation. Degas' attempted enlistment in the Garde Nationale in 1870 was hampered by poor vision a condition that plagued him physically and emotionally and left him totally blind at his death 47 years later. Additionally by the 1890s Degas suffered from "chronic bronchitis incontinence kidney problems 'anemia caused by chronic nephritis' wonky digestion lumbago and bladder trouble" prompting him to undergo unusual treatments as "cupping rye fungus bismuth… 'a footbath aconite and Dr Franck's health grains'…'bismuth laudanum and L'Elixir Asiatique'" as well as a turpentine treatment for the bladder "Letters of Edgar Degas" London Review of Books Barnes. In addition to those remedies Degas took water cures at the spas of Cauterets Pontarlier and Mont-Dore a thermal spring located in the Dordogne Valley. Degas' published letters show that he visited Mont-Dore in August 1895 and August 1897. Written on a carte-lettre with one horizontal fold. Mounting traces on the verso. Evenly toned and in very good condition.

1870rif. 84728Paris 1870. Fine. An opera painting travels to London; Degas greets his close friend James Tissot Paris s. d. années 1870 10.80 x 17.10 cm trois pages sur un feuillet double Autograph letter dated and signed by Edgar Degas addressed to the dealer Charles Deschamps director of Durand-Ruels London branch. Three pages in ink on a bifolium. Minor marginal tears not affecting the text folds from mailing. Recently returned from New Orleans Degas writes to his London dealer to announce the imminent arrival of a delicate composition of dancers Le Foyer de la danse à lOpéra de la rue Le Peletier now held at the Musée dOrsay: ""In the meantime you will receive the little picture you saw in progress and which you had the idea of selling to Mr. Huth - May you succeed! . As for the price it seems to me that £150 to £200 is fair"" Deschamps fulfilled the painters wishes and sold the painting to Louis Huth financier and patron of Whistler for £140. The canvas would later enter the distinguished collection of Isaac de Camondo. Degas turned towards London at a time when the English art market offered relief from the collapse that followed the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. He placed great hopes in this expanding British market fuelled by lucrative blockbuster exhibitions drawing millions of visitors; Degass canvases were shown in eight exhibitions of the Société des Artistes Français. Although he often mentions financial difficulties in his correspondence ""At the end of the month I have quite a lot to pay. If some money came in I would be delighted . - Take care of me my dear Deschamps I would be most obliged - Tell me also if the season is not too far advanced. I fear it is"" his career across the Channel was flourishing and his sales profitable. The painter does not fail to salute the ""French colony"" of expatriate artists Giuseppe de Nittis and his close friend James Tissot whose financial success provided Degas with an example of how effectively a French painters work could be marketed in England. Unlike Tissot however Degas refused to adapt to market taste focusing instead on defending the Impressionist cause in France and abroad. He also devotes a passage to a voracious collector of his works the baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure patron of his celebrated series of canvases on the Paris Opéra and owner of Manets Déjeuner sur lherbe: ""I ought to have been in London some time ago according to what I said. I am not there because the picture for Jean-Baptiste Faure is not finished and I would not like to meet him there without being able to give him better news and I hardly have time to dawdle if I want not to arrive on the 1st of September with nothing to deliver to him"". Ironically Faure would later reproach Degas for leaving his canvases unfinished ! and even sue him a few years afterwards. A rare and exceptional letter tracing the history of one of Degass celebrated works and his dealings with dealers and collectors on the eve of the first Impressionist exhibition to be held the following year. ""My dear Deschamps I ought to have been in London some time ago according to what I said. I am not there because the picture for Jean-Baptiste Faure is not finished and I would not like to meet him there without being able to give him better news and I hardly have time to dawdle if I want not to arrive on the 1st of September with nothing to deliver to him - He is leaving London on the 18th or 19th I know that - Perhaps at the end of the month a little earlier however I will come to see you as well as the French colony. But nothing is less certain. In the meantime you will receive the little picture you saw in progress and which you had the idea of selling to Mr. Huth - May you succeed! At the end of the month I have quite a lot to pay. If some money came in I would be delighted - As for the price it seems to me that £150 to £200 is fair - I would like to add two other pieces a little vaporous - I am worki unknown

Sur l'artiste : Louis Legrand est né à Dijon en 1863. Son désir de devenir artiste est tel qu'il étudie à l'école des Beaux-Arts de Dijon en soirées et pendant ses heures de loisirs, tout en travaillant comme employé de banque. En 1883, il obtient le Prix Desvoge. En 1884, il part pour Paris où peu de temps après son arrivée, il s'initie aux techniques de gravure avec Félicien Rops qui dira de lui : Quel homme, ce Legrand, il trouverait des angles dans une boule de billards. Sa technique préférée est l'aquatinte monochrome ou en couleurs. Ses débuts sont assez difficiles et marqués par une certaine maladresse et une inexpérience. Pendant les quelques années qui suivent, Louis Legrand gagne essentiellement sa vie en réalisant des dessins pour des journaux d'enfant. Dès 1887, Louis Legrand collabore au journal Le Courrier français pour lequel il remet chaque semaine un dessin qui met souvent l'accent sur la déchéance et la mort qui attendent la prostituée et son client, plutôt que sur les plaisirs et les jeux. Poursuivi pour obscénité et après avoir purgé une courte peine de prison, Legrand abandonne sa carrière d'illustrateur satirique. En 1891, il participe, avec une série d'illustrations en couleurs, au Gil Blas illustré consacré à un reportage sur le cancan et ses principaux interprètes écrit par Erastène Ramiro et décrivant l'entraînement sévère auquel les danseurs se soumettent. Vendu à 6000 exemplaires, le magazine fait connaître le nom de Legrand à travers la France. Fort de ce succès, l'éditeur Dentu persuade Louis Legrand de réaliser des eaux-fortes de ses mêmes aquarelles afin de les publier l'année suivante sous le titre Le Cours de Danse Fin de Siècle avec un texte révisé de Ramiro. Après avoir terminé sa série sur le cancan, Legrand s'intéresse au monde de la danse et fréquente les coulisses et salles de répétition. C'est le travail avant la scène qui retient l'intérêt de l'artiste. Outre de nombreuses aquatintes, dessins et pastels, il réalise deux albums consacrés à ce monde de la danse. Le premier intitulé "Les Petites du Ballet" (1893) se compose de douze aquatintes et retrace l'évolution des futures ballerines. Le second "La Petite Classe" (1908) composé de douze grandes gravures et aquatintes traite des danseuses professionnelles. C'est le plus accompli du point de vue artistique et technique. En 1896, la galerie " L'Art Nouveau " de Samuel Bing expose près de deux cents gravures de Louis Legrand retraçant ainsi l'ensemble de son œuvre. En 1900, Legrand obtient une médaille d'argent à l'Exposition universelle de Paris. En 1906, il reçoit la Légion d'Honneur. Il meurt en 1951, dans un oubli complet. Les sujets de prédilection de l'artiste sont la vie nocturne parisienne, les bars, les maisons closes, les cabarets. Il a précédé Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec et d'autres dans la représentation du cancan et des demi-mondaines de Montmartre. L'exposition au Musée provincial Félicien Rops présente tous ces thèmes en mettant l'accent sur l'art gravé de l'artiste. (Exposition au Musée Félicien Rops de Namur en 2006 : "Louis Legrand. Entre femmes et remous"). Italien : Portfolio (mm 590x410) contenente 12 incisioni ad acquatinta e puntasecca, ognuna firmata a matita e col timbro di Pellet. Brossura editoriale figurata grigia con un'incisione al piatto recante il titolo della suite e il nome dell'editore. Raro e prezioso esemplare fuori numerazione corrispondente ai 30 su carta Japon con remarques (gli altri 100 su simil-Japon erano senza remarques). Gustave Pellet era uno dei più grandi editori parigini tra '800 e '900: pubblicò le più importanti litografie a colori di Toulouse-Lautrec, opere grafiche dei divisionisti Signac e Luce, oltre ai simbolisti Rops e Redon. Aveva una particolare passione per Legrand di cui pubblicò circa 300 incisioni e acquistò la collezione dei suoi pastelli originali. Gli album di Legrand, specialmente quelli sulla danza, sono ormai rari a trovarsi completi perché spesso smembrati per vendere le singole incisioni.

Central fold inherent to the way the letter was folded.his letter is presented in a chemise and case with paper boards decorated with abstract motifs the spine of the chemise in green morocco pastedowns and endpapers of green suede slipcase signed by Thomas Boichot. A handsome unpublished letter testimony to Degas' other great passion after dance: song.he Parisian premiere of Ernest Rayer's Wagnerian opera Sigurd took place on 12 June 1885 at the Opera de Paris. Degas overcome by the performance of the singer Rose Caron saw the piece thirty-seven times: «I still love Sigurd and I like it more and more. I have never seen Reyer except once in the street. And I made a point of telling him of the admiration it provoked in me far more immediately than in someone who being neither maid nor washerwoman was worthy of some consideration.» Degas paid homage to the beauty of Rose Caron in Sigurd by doing two drawings on fans today in private hands in the US.Properly obsessed by this «admirable work that did him so much good that he could not get over» the painter asked his famous neighbor to play him the score on the piano: «The young Jacques-Emile Blanche our neighbor plays it to me every day in place of your wife.»he letter closes with a lyrical description of Mont-Saint-Michel of which Degas had made several drawings: «Have you ever seen Mont-Saint-Michel Could we go and spend a few days there together sometime It's so pretty so charming. In one month I've been twice. The big tides at the end of September will take me back once more.» Degas' passion for opera is the subject of an exhibition for the 350th birthday of the Paris Opera open from 24 September 2019 to 19 January 2020 at the Musée d'Orsay. hardcover

Toutes les lithographies sont tirées en rose sanguine et disposées librement, transcrivant avec sensualité la poésie de Verlaine en forme et en couleurs ; il s’en dégage une profonde harmonie entre le texte et l’illustration. Élégamment imprimé en Garamond, comme le seront plus tard Les Fêtes galantes illustrées par Laprade, l’ouvrage marque le début de la grande aventure éditoriale d’Ambroise Vollard. Édition : 230 exemplaires numérotés sur Chine ou Hollande. - "Ceci n’est pas un traité de géométrie !" Il existe deux états de la couverture de Parallèlement : Vollard dut en effet remplacer la vignette de l'Imprimerie nationale à l’effigie de la République française par un dessin de Bonnard (ainsi notre exemplaire). Ce remaniement était intervenu à la suite d’une interpellation à la Chambre au sujet de la présence de l'effigie de la République sur un livre jugé « licencieux ». Une fois l’ouvrage imprimé, on s’était avisé que Parallèlement n'était pas un traité de géométrie… (Pierre Berès).
