Le Grand Écart.

1923156540Paris: Librairie Stock 1923. Presented to the first woman to receive the Académie française's Grand Prix de littérature First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title "à Madame Henri de Régnier avec mon amitié ma reconnaissance mon admiration profondes Jean Cocteau Mai 1923". The recipient Marie de Régnier was one of the most significant French women writers of the 20th century and the first woman to be twice crowned by the Académie française. De Régnier née de Heredia was a prolific and immensely popular novelist and poet and an important fixture in the literary milieu of 20th-century Paris. She was made a commander of the legion of honour and was elected president of the Académie Mallarme of which Cocteau was also a member. The first woman to receive the Académie française's Grand Prix de littérature in 1918 she went on to become the first woman to be awarded twice by the Académie with her receipt of the Grand Prix de Poésie in 1958. She wrote primarily under the pseudonym Gérard d'Houville in an attempt to distance herself from the long shadows cast by both her father José-Maria de Heredia and her husband Henri de Régnier who were successful writers in their own right. Her nom de plume was an affectation rather than an attempt to disguise her sex: it was common knowledge that d'Houville was a woman with contemporary critics often referring to "Madame" Gérard d'Houville. "In 1910 when L'Intransigeant asked its reader to select the top three women writers deemed worthy to be members of the Académie française they placed d'Houville in top position before Anna de Noailles and Colette" Milligan. Her significant literary achievements are too-often disregarded in favour of her well-documented familial and sentimental relationships including affairs with Pierre Louÿs Edmond Jaloux Gabriele D'Annunzio and Henri Bernstein. This copy is from the library of the notable jurist and collector of poetry René Vandevoir 1892-1966 with his bookplate on the front pastedown. Octavo. Finely bound by Devauchelle in near-contemporary red half morocco raised bands and gilt lettering on spine marbled sides and endpapers top edge gilt fore edge untrimmed. With original pink paper wrappers bound in. French newspaper clipping printing five poems by Cocteau loosely inserted. Spine faintly sunned a few spots of foxing to pp. vii-viii. A fine copy.

Lettre autographe signée adressée à Igor Markevitch

195575564s. l. 1955. Fine. s. l. 26 octobre 1955 20.90 x 26.90 cm une page sur un feuillet Autograph letter signed by Jean Cocteau addressed to Igor Markevitch. One page written in blue ballpoint pen and signed ""Ton Jean"". Some folds inherent to placing in envelope and a staple in the upper left margin. Fine and long letter in which Jean Cocteau defends his friend the Ukrainian conductor and composer Igor Markevitch victim of critic Antoine Goléa's wrath. ""Je suis stupéfait par ce qu'on me rapporte de Goléa."" ""I am stunned by what I am told about Goléa."" We have not been able to find the slightest trace of an article by Goléa about Markevitch but the University of Caen holds a file entitled ""Affaire entre Igor Markevitch et Antoine Goléa"" ""Case between Igor Markevitch and Antoine Goléa"" dated from the year of our letter. It appears indeed according to these archives that a trial did take place and that the appeal was requested by Goléa in October 1955; Cocteau comments on this subject: ""J'ai toujours été la victime de ces étranges procès qu'on gagne en appel - mais bien à la longue - et parfois après sa mort."" ""I have always been the victim of these strange trials that one wins on appeal - but only in the long run - and sometimes after one's death."" Jean Cocteau whose handwriting appears tormented here seems in any case to have been very affected by this affair and praises his friend's talent: ""Ta prodigieuse maîtrise et le sacrifice que tu as fait de ton uvre au service de celles des autres. . il est incompréhensible qu'un esprit de sa culture ne reconnaisse pas entre autres que personne au monde ne conduit ce Sacre comme toi."" ""Your prodigious mastery and the sacrifice you have made of your work in service to those of others. . it is incomprehensible that a mind of his culture does not recognize among other things that no one in the world conducts this Rite like you."" More than a letter of support this document is a true plea in favor of artists' creative freedom and a condemnation of cultural mercantilism: ""Mais a-t-il pensé que nos uvres dès qu'elles passent par un éditeur une salle de concert une salle d'exposition deviennent des produits . Hélas nos professions ne comportent pas de « diplômes » et nous courons le risque de professions libres. Notre seule chance est que le public se trouve rarement d'accord avec ses juges."" ""But has he thought that our works as soon as they pass through a publisher a concert hall an exhibition hall become products . Alas our professions do not include 'diplomas' and we run the risk of liberal professions. Our only chance is that the public is rarely in agreement with its judges."" At this time cultural professions were indeed quite poorly regulated and it would not be until 1959 and the creation of the Ministry for Art and Culture by De Gaulle and Malraux that things would evolve. Cocteau finally deplores that criticism guides the choice of ""consumers"": ""Déconseiller ces « produits » revient à leur causer le plus grand dommage."" ""To advise against these 'products' amounts to causing them the greatest damage."" unknown
