At this time aged 56 years old Proust's mother has been a widow for a year. The translation of his son's <i>The Bible of Amiens</i> was published that same year. She died of nephritis a year later on September 26 1905. Nadar did process her portrait and removed the shadows and various flaws on her face.</p><p>Michel Schneider notes that the narrator's mother in the <i>Search</i> is obviously inspired by the mother of the author himself. Jeanne Proust was born Jeanne Weil in 1849 from a Jewish family of the enlightened bourgeoisie. Much has been said about the intellectual complicity that united her with elder son. Marcel Proust who during his mother's lifetime wrote only <i>beautiful</i>things in the spirit of the time <i>Pleasures and Days</i> will not become the novelist of the <i>Search</i> until after the death his mother an event that has somehow freed his creation. In the novel the grief he felt at his death is shifted to that of the grandmother and that of Albertine. In the <i>Search</i> Mom doesn't die she is also mentioned more than 500 times.</p><p>Provenance:<br />-Proust Family<br />-Suzy Mante-Proust only daughter of Robert Proust by descent<br />-Patricia Mante-Proust granddaughter of Suzy Mante-Proust by descent</p><p><u>References:</u><br />Nadar repr. p. 32 in full. <br />Cattaui n° 59 repr. <br />Mauriac repr. p. 10.</p>

19806452Portland OR: Sara Kirschenbaum 1980. Number 13 of 25 copies. 10x8" loose sheets 1 24pp. housed in black paper box signed and numbered by Kirchenbaum. 14 mounted or full page photographs of the American Museum of Natural History. Pages curled some scattered foxing. Very good. <br /> <br /> A very interesting artist's book from Portland area writer and visual artist and daughter of Susan Weil Sara Kirschenbaum b. 1959. Consists of short pieces both poem and prose accompanied by photographs of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The verso of the title sheet credits help from artists Christopher Rauschenberg Kirschenbaum's half brother Jan Håfström and her mother Susan Weil. The surreal and at times grotesque historical photographs detail the building of exhibits of mammoths elephants and other large creatures. <br /> <br /> <br /> Kirschenbaum has been published in literary journals such as Tin House and has had art exhibitions in Portland and Lucerne Switzerland. She has collaborated with Weil on at least one other artist's book Cycles of Poems which is held by only the National Museum of Women in the Arts according to OCLC. As far as we can see this project is not held and we find little mention of it elsewhere. . Sara Kirschenbaum unknown
