18485Paris N.R.F. 22 juin 1931. 1 vol. 190 x 280 mm de 59 p. 1 et 3 f. Demi-maroquin gris bleu titre en long tête dorée papier à décor sur les plats couvertures conservées reliure signée Goy et Vilaine - titrage C. Ribal. . Édition originale. Illustrée de 6 gravures : une lithographie signée à pleine page tirée par Desjobert et 5 gravures en taille-douce tirées par Paul Hassen. Un des 19 exemplaires sur vélin de hollande n° XXIV. . Gilbert est le héros de L'Ordre publié deux ans plus tôt et couronné cette année-là par le prix Goncourt. Le personnage créé par l'auteur l'a poursuivi : Gilbert cet adolescent anxieux face à une société qu'il hait et entend combattre Arland souhaite continuer de le faire parler : se seront d'abord ces Carnets qu'il demande à Georges Rouault d'illustrer ; suivront après une nouvelle édition augmentée en 1944 d'autres carnets en 1960 et en 1965 qui forment écrit Jean Duvignaud un « dialogue saisissant entre le romancier et son héros …. Les Carnets de Gilbert furent une sorte de collaboration. De là à peine un livre une cinquantaine de pages - mais qui me devinrent précieuses par la grâce d'un nouveau collaborateur. Pourtant ces planches que composa Rouault si je les trouvais admirables je me suis d'abord étonné du sens qu'elles imposaient à mes notes. Je ne m'en étonne plus maintenant que trente ans ont passé. Tandis que j'écrivais en marge d'un roman Rouault semble avoir prévu une histoire beaucoup plus longue et sans fiction » in M. Arland La nuit et les sources Paris Gallimard 1968 p. 170.

Isabelle Rouault et François Chapon 359 ; Carteret IV 48 ; Monod 470 ; Skira 314 ; Rauch 151 ; The Artist & the Book p.181. « Despite frequent descriptions of these color plates as reproductions they are original etchings as recorded in the colophon. The single black lithograph and the etching on the title-page demonstrate Rouault's mastery of black as a positive color value. » Paris, N.R.F., (22 juin) 1931. 1 vol.

1926141411Paris: Au Sans Pareil 1926. Softcover. Fine. Limited Edition. 955pp. Octavo. Bound in the original wrappers with a stiff blue wrap around jacket with dark blue lettering on the front and spine. One of 60 limited copies printed on Vergé de Hollande-- numbered 56 to 115-- with an extra suite of the 5 etchings by Marc Chagall in the latter portion of the book; this copy is #110. Deckling to all text block edges. Illustrated with five full page etchings by Chagall throughout the text with duplicate copies of the plates bound at the end; all the etchings have the original tissue guards. The blue jacket has faded quite a bit and is more of a buff colour and has some water stains on the back panel and to the spine in spots. Some transfer from the inner folds of the jacket is apparent on the ffep although it is quite faint. Internally clean and an attractive copy overall. Limited to a printing of 960 copies in total with 60 of those on Vergé de Hollande of which this copy is one. In 1923 Marc Chagall moved to Paris and received several commissions for visual narratives including this story by Marcel Arland. The text is comprised of a short story told in reverse beginning with the death of a young girl's illegitimate baby and ending with the first night she and her lover spend together. The girl is vilified by her neighbors and Chagall's first image shows her being taken away by the police as a crowd yells and shames her. Another plate shows the girl giving birth alone in her backyard among the chickens and empty crates. Due to the popularity of Chagall's prints many copies of this book were split apart and the etchings were sold individually. This is a complete and clean copy. 1926 Au Sans Pareil paperback
