A COLLECTION OF THE MOST CELEBRATED COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS OF TWENTIETH-CENTURY ARTISTS. NUMBER 1 OF 6 COPIES RESERVED FOR ARTIST AND PUBLISHERS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 36.

Colette 1873-1954<br /> 2. Virginia Woolf 1882-1941<br /> 3. André Gide 1869-1951<br /> 4. James Joyce 1882-1941<br /> 5. Andreinne Monnier 1892-1955<br /> 6. Jean Cocteau 1889-1963<br /> 7.

Victoria Sackville-West 1892-1962<br /> <br /> It is well documented both Woolf's and Joyce's aversions to sitting for photographs and indeed "Freund was twice refused admission to Tavistock Square but eventually Woolf succumbed" being "acutely self-conscious and disliked sitting for pictures never mind 'seeing herself'"Richard Shone "Portraits of Virginia Woolf: here the true face of the modern writer" The Guardian 20 June 2014. Freund's ability to capture her subjects in states of ease-not to mention in colour-has preserved for posterity valuable likenesses of the most talented creative literary minds of the past century. The authorised release of these portraits each signed by Freund and numbered and embossed by the publisher as Au Pays des Visages coincided with Freund's appointment to the presidency of the French Association of Photographers and represent a definitive curation of her pre-eminent portraiture.<br /> <br /> Size: Images = 8x11.5 in; matte = 14.5x18.5 in; portfolio = 17x21 in.<br /> <br /> FREUND GISÈLE.

ill., br. Dopo Alberto Savinio, Gianni Rodari, Saul Steinberg, Virginia Woolf è la quarta protagonista della collana Enciclopedia. Una donna. Una donna scrittrice, che agli inizi del Novecento, apre nuove strade alla scrittura narrativa e al pensiero della modernità. Protagonista indiscussa dello sperimentalismo modernista con romanzi quali "Al Faro" e "Le Onde", Virginia Woolf è anche una saggista originalissima, che con "Una stanza tutta per sé" inizia una riflessione sulla scrittura e sulla vita al femminile, che l'ha resa un'icona imprescindibile, un'antenata necessaria per le donne di oggi. Mentre con " Tre Ghinee" indicherà la strada di una critica politica femminista del pensiero nazi-fascista degli anni Trenta del Novecento, intonandosi di fatto al pensiero di filosofe come Hannah Arendt e Simone Weil. La sua personalità anticonformista e straordinariamente moderna, la sua scrittura narrativa e saggistica, i luoghi, le persone e le figure che con lei hanno animato il circolo di Bloomsbury sono restituiti attraverso un abbecedario articolato e quanto mai animato di voci, selezionate e curate da Nadia Fusini, nell'intento di tracciare un ritratto, ancora una volta sorprendente, di un'intelligenza tra le più fertili che il Novecento ci abbia donato.
br. Com'è possibile restituire alle pagine la voce di una scrittrice? Nadia Fusini, la più importante studiosa italiana di Virginia Woolf, lo fa ricorrendo alle sue opere, ai romanzi ma anche ai saggi, ai diari, ai frammenti autobiografici e alle lettere: dà voce alla voce della scrittrice, ricreandone la vita e la passione per l'esistenza. Come in un'autobiografia che, facendo affidamento sulla memoria, non può seguire una cronologia, Fusini ricostruisce l'infanzia della Woolf, la figura del padre Leslie, e poi insegue la malattia, gli anni di Bloomsbury, le passioni, il marito Leonard e il legame con Vita, la battaglia femminista e il pacifismo, in un intrecciarsi di tempi che rendono ancora più vivido il quadro della sua esistenza. Poiché, come scrive Fusini, "Virginia non crede che il senso dell'esistenza individuale si racchiuda in una trama di eventi: è piuttosto una caccia al tesoro. Perché riconosce che la vita assomiglia, sì, a un romanzo, ma solo quando il romanzo non pecchi di arroganza e non voglia imporre all'esperienza un ordine estraneo". Più che una biografia, dunque, questo è un lungo, incalzante racconto in presa diretta.
