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. The present portfolio of Freund's photographic portraits assembles the most celebrated of her innovative colour images. The portfolio is comprised of Freund's portraits of:<br /> <br /> 1. 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.

She notes that many people are familiar with their romantic story but have never read their poetry. She then moves on to critique the works of the Brownings. Woolf suggests that Robert Browning’s work has lost its vigor and significance and his style is considered verbose.  <br /> <br /> As for Elizabeth Barrett Browning Woolf states that her work is largely unread and unexamined with her style being seen as slipshod and her mind as confused and excessive. Woolf then focuses on “Aurora Leigh†describing it as a masterpiece in embryo. She suggests that the novel-poem’s genius is still in a prenatal stage waiting for the final stroke of creative power to bring it into being. She also discusses the character Aurora’s struggle with the expectations of her society. "If therefore we take 'Aurora Leigh' from the shelf and open it it is not so much in order to read it as to muse with kindly condescension over this token of bygone fashion: it is not a book but a dusty mantle with fringes and furbelows that our grandmothers actually wore; a cluster of wax fruit that they stood in a glass case on the drawing-room table among albums views of Jerusalem and handsome models of the Taj Mahal carved in alabaster." 678-679 p.
