188788480No Location: s. n. 1887. Fine. s. n. No Location 1887 20 x 32 cm 1 portrait-frontispice 1 titre à l'encre 83 p. manuscrites qq. feuillets vierges Exceptional illuminated manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé probably copied by Joris-Karl Huysmans on watermarked Hollande laid paper after pre-first editions of the poems published in journals. Most of the poems are preceded by a separate title-page noting the source from which it is taken. The manuscript includes a fine charcoal portrait of Mallarmé as a frontispiece by Charles Tichon after a photographic portrait by Van Bosch. The portrait was published in the Mallarmé issue of Empreintes Bruxelles LÉcran du Monde n° 10-11. Another version was published in 1889 Caprice Revue 2e année n° 60. two floral compositions in gouache and watercolor illustrating the poems Les Fleurs and Apparition as well the calligraphed author's name as a title-page. Although unsigned the illutrations are attributed to Louise or Marie Danse. Bradel binding contemporary cream silk boards with floral motif two embroidered green silk markers with floral motif gilt semis patternerd flyleaves and pastedowns slightly faded red edges. Dampstains on the lower part of the lower board rubbed corners a few silk threads loosened on the spine rubbed boards. Outstanding manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé written shortly before the first collected edition of his poetry of which only 47 copies were ever printed Poésies photolithographed Revue indépendante 1887. This carefully calligraphed collection is attributed to the hand of writer Joris-Karl Huysmans a great admirer of the poet who is said to have given the manuscripts to his friend Jules Destrée. This scribal manuscript which includes some of Mallarmés most celebrated pieces such as Hérodiade L'Après-midi d'un faune Le tombeau d'Edgar Poe Prose pour des Esseintes Le vierge le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui appeared for the first time in the posthumous sale of the Belgian politician and writer Jules Destrée in 1936 at the Galerie Leopold in Brussels. A pencil note on the title page of the collection reads: According to Mr. Simonson expert at the Destrée sale this manuscript was sent by J.K. Huysmans to Jul. Destrée who wanted to read Mallarmé's poems which remained unpublished at the time. Verified through Huysmans' correspondence sold on the same day as this manuscript. As evidenced in their letters Destrée did seek out the help of his friend Huysmans to obtain Mallarmé poems as his work was not readily accessible being for the most part published in journals L'Artiste Les Lettres et les Arts La République des lettres etc. and in the collections of Le Parnasse contemporain. In a letter to Destrée Huysmans wrote You ask me where Mallarmé's poems can be found. They are untraceable but they are in this envelope. Published in 1876 in La République des Lettres they were copied at least the best ones by Le Chat Noir in 1886. I bought two issues which allows me to send them to you. You will see that they are superb written in clear incisive and very strange language. 30 November 1887. It is possible that the poems in this envelope mentioned by Huysmans are the ones Destrée later had bound in this manuscript collection. Huysmans may have copied for Destrée the poems from the journals he only had one copy of and sent him his extra copy of Le Chat Noir from 1886 which included the prose poems Plaintes d'automne Frisson d'hiver I et II and Le Phénomène futur. The writing style of the poems in the collection is indeed very similar to Huysmans' own handwriting his manuscript of his poem collection Le Drageoir à épices displays the same rounded curling style. However Huysmans' handwriting varies considerably depending on the circumstances: novel manuscripts letters first drafts etc. The excessively neat calligraphy of the poems contrasts with the hasty tall and cramped handwriting of sever s. n. hardcover

Derra de Moroda 1503. <br /> <br /> Les Facheux a ballet in one act with music by Georges Auric; choreography by Bronislava Nijinska; scenario by Boris Kochno after Moliere's comedy-ballet; and curtain scenery and costumes by Georges Braque was first performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Monte Carlo on 19 January 1924 with principal dancers Lubov Tchernicheva Anatole Vilzak and Anton Dolin.<br /> <br /> "By the time Auric found himself a member of Les Six Auric Durey Honegger Milhaud Poulenc and Tailleferre the style of his music - brilliant and often acidly aggressive - had become well established and works such as the Huit poèmes de Jean Cocteau 1919 or the foxtrot Adieu New York! 1919 show how he can be considered along with Poulenc the group's most typical representative. On hearing his 1921 incidental music for Molière's comédie-ballet Les fâcheux Diaghilev asked him to transform it into a ballet. First performed in Monte Carlo . it shows a facility for mood creation and a virtuosity in the manipulation of highly varied material that presages his film music. Other successful ballets followed: Les matelots 1924 and La pastorale 1925 for Diaghilev Les enchantements de la fée d'Alcine 1928 for Ida Rubinstein ." Jeremy Drake in Grove Music Online.<br /> <br /> Kochno "was a Russian-born writer and ballet librettist who collaborated with ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev during the last years of the Ballets Russes then became a major influence on post-World War II French ballet. Kochno met Diaghilev in 1921 and immediately became his secretary. His first libretto for Diaghilev was the text of Igor Stravinsky's chamber opera Mavra 1922; he followed it with scenarios for such ballets as Les Fâcheux 1924 Les Matelots 1925 Ode 1928 and Le Fils prodigue The Prodigal Son 1929.<br /> <br /> After Diaghilev's death in 1929 Kochno continued advising on ballets. He collaborated on Cotillon and Jeux d'enfants 1932 for the new Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo then with choreographer George Balanchine founded the short-lived Les Ballets in 1933. He returned to the Ballet Russe advising the company's management until 1937. With his longtime friend Christian Bérard a painter and choreographer Roland Petit he collaborated on the ballet Les Forains 1945 which led to the founding of Les Ballets des Champs-Elysées and the renaissance of French ballet; he remained with that company until 1951. He was the author of the books Le Ballet 1954 and Diaghilev et les Ballets Russes 1970." Britannica Online<br /> <br /> "Hoyningen-Huene 1900-1968 is acknowledged as an iconic pioneer in the genre of fashion photography. His elegant pared-down style has had a dramatic impact on photographers around the world and his work continues to have relevance today as an artist who created some of the most striking photographic portraits and compositions of the twentieth century." Artist's website<br /> <br /> "Oreste Francesco Pucciani 1916 - 1999 was a pioneer teacher of Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy at UCLA. He was the last partner of Rudi Gernreich fashion designer and at the latter's death established the ACLU Rudi Gernreich-Oreste Pucciani Endowment Fund to support the fight for LGBT rights."
