197170300Sommières 1971. Fine. Sommières 18 octobre 1971 15 x 10.50 cm une carte postale Autograph postcard signed by Lawrence Durrell addressed to Jani Brun written in blue felt-tip pen on the verso of a Nietzsche quotation underlining a humorous image. After many years spent in Greece Egypt and Rhodes the travel writer Lawrence Durrell was forced to flee Cyprus following popular uprisings that led the island to its independence from the British crown. Rich only in a shirt and a typewriter but crowned with the success of his novel Bitter Lemons of Cyprus he arrived in France in 1956 and settled in the Languedoc village of Sommières. In the ""Tartès house"" his large residence surrounded by trees he wrote the second part of his work his monumental Avignon Quintet devoted himself to painting and received his illustrious friends including the couple Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin violinist Yehudi Menuhin London publisher Alan G. Thomas and his two daughters Penelope and Sappho. Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun he met in the mid-1960s the young and sparkling ""Jany"" Janine Brun a woman from Montpellier in her thirties of devastating beauty who worked in the Antiquities department at the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed ""Buttons"" in memory of their first meeting where the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of ""Buttons"" praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we keep precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell she made numerous trips notably to England from where she received vast correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym Oscar Epfs. unknown

1967757891967.

Two small perforations in the left margin of the card as is usual in Juan Luis Buñuel's collection. ""La paix ! la paix ! la paix ! pour 1968 Vanvis - I don't understand why I'm always leaving messages and never getting an answer. I was sorry not to see you in Barcelone. It is a beautiful snow. Love to you and Carmen and children. Sandro"" In 1939 Luis Buñuel who had just received an offer to work in Hollywood decided with his wife and child to leave the chaotic situation in Europe to go and live the American Dream. The penniless Buñuels initially spent a few precarious months living in New York. Luis Buñuel found himself forced to ask Dalihis longstanding friend in exile along with Gala during these yearsto lend him some money. His request was refused in no uncertain terms putting an end to the two men's friendship. Thus it was Calder whom Luis had perhaps already met in Paris in the 1920s who put the whole family up in his Upper Side apartment. Juan Luis Buñuel the artist's godson sensed that his interest in sculpture began in this same period: When Dali told my father he would not lend him any money he contacted him Calder. He offered his house to us and we lived with his family for a time. I can only vaguely remember it but it was then that I started to become interested in sculpture and he encouraged me Anton Casto Juan Luis una entrevista. Despite the geographical distance that would come to separate them Alexander Calder would remain a friend of the Buñuel family. The relationship between the artist and the film-maker is however almost entirely absent from the biographies and this correspondence is a rare testimony to the profound connection between the sculptor and the Buñuel family. unknown

190278605Chicago 1902. Fine. Chicago 23 octobre 1902 14 x 8.80 cm une carte postale Autograph signed postcard sent from Chicago and addressed to Émile Mignard Chicago 23 October 1902 14 x 88 cm one postcard Handwritten signed postcard from Victor Segalen sent from Chicago and addressed to Emile Mignard. A few lines written in pencil in the corner of the black and white photographic reproduction of a view of South Water Street in Chicago handwritten address on the verso. Some minor stains and folding. Emile Mignard 1878-1966 also a doctor and Brest-born was one of Segalen's closest friends of youth whom he met at the Jesuit Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours School in Brest. The writer interacted with this comrade in an abundant and closely followed correspondence in which he described with humour and intimacy his daily life in all corners of the world. It was at Mignard's wedding on 15 February 1905 that Segalen met his wife Yvonne Hébert. This postcard had been addressed by Segalen to his friend from Chicago as he travelled to Tahiti via San Francisco. It is the first time that the Breton has been to the United States and his impressions are rather pessimistic: Chicago. The deplorable pinnacle of acute budding Americanism. Imagine a mass of sandstone that has crystallised following the Cubic system. A childlike museum: close to the Apollo Belvedere a reproduction of the Hôtel des Postes. I leave tonight for a straight through journey to San Francisco where I will be on Tuesday at 4am. unknown

46400No date or place but likely the LBJ Ranch Stonewall Texas ca. 1968. Original color photographic print 10.75" x 7.5" on 14" x 11" card mount; in gallery mat. Inscribed on mount beneath photo: "For Deke De Loach / with appreciation for his dedicated service" signed in Johnson's hand undated. Mild surface abrasions to image; mild soil to mount; photographer's serial stamp to verso of mount "5 JY 68 D897-35." Photographer unidentified but based on location and outfit likely taken during a 1968 photo session at the LBJ Ranch by Frank Wolfe LBJ's official White House photographer. An attractive large-format professional portrait of LBJ in casual dress kneeling in a pasture with his trademark Stetson resting on his knee. An excellent association; Cartha "Deke" De Loach was Deputy Associate Director of the FBI during the Hoover era and a close associate of LBJ's; in 1963 immediately after the assassination of John F. Kennedy Johnson had De Loach assigned to permanent duty at the White House. As described by New York Times reporter Tim Weiner "De Loach was always at L.B.J.'s beck and call night and day he was a talented political hatchet man a trusted deputy to Hoover. He was also crucial to intelligence investigations conducted during the Johnson presidency." Based on the tenor of the inscription we surmise that the portrait was presented to De Loach at the end of Johnson's presidency in 1968. unknown
