51-3231Bruxelles: Columbia Pictures 1955. Original poster for the French language version. Mounted on cardboard. 53 x 35 cm. Parfois maladroite notamment dans sa présentation des personnages cette œuvre vaut surtout pour sa dernière heure proprement bouleversante sans être mélodramatique et pour son interprétation haut de gamme. Le fade Van Johnson y trouve ici son meilleur rôle lui qui fut toujours voué aux compositions de gentils garçons insouciants tandis que Peter Cushing se révèle terriblement touchant en cocu magnifique fonctionnaire ennuyeux et conscient de l’être. Mal reçu aux Etats-Unis où les ligues puritaines ont crié au scandale Vivre un grand amour a été bien accueilli en Europe et est encore considéré comme une excellente adaptation du roman de Graham Greene à l’instar de la nouvelle version de Neil Jordan La fin d’une liaison en 1999 avec Julianne Moore et Ralph Fiennes.From the collection of Herbert C.V.

Provenance: The Japanese Gallery London. Kunichika ranks among the most compelling late masters of ukiyo-e renowned for his vivid portrayals of kabuki actors and the theatrical world that shaped his artistic life.

His characteristic use of deep reds and purples combined with a keen sensitivity to theatrical presence allowed him to capture not only likeness but atmosphere. This print depicting the actor Kawarazaki in the role of a female spirit exemplifies Kunichika’s ability to convey both the supernatural and the performative with striking clarity. The heightened expression rich colour and dramatic poise are hallmarks of his mature style.

369269Japan Undated c.late 19th century. Unframed Print. Fine Condition. A vivid and well-preserved original colour woodblock print by Toyohara Kunichika 1835-1900 measuring 24 x 37 cm. Provenance: The Japanese Gallery London. Kunichika stands among the last great masters of ukiyoe celebrated for his dynamic portrayals of kabuki actors and the theatrical world they inhabited. Trained from the age of thirteen under Utagawa Kunisada he quickly distinguished himself through his instinctive grasp of stage gesture costume and dramatic expression. His lifelong fascination with kabuki led him to specialise in yakusha-e-actor portraits that captured both the physical presence and emotional intensity of performance. Working during the turbulent transition from the Edo to the Meiji period Kunichika remained a steadfast advocate for traditional woodblock printing even as new artistic technologies emerged. His prints are admired for their bold compositions saturated colours particularly his signature purples and deep reds and their ability to convey the heightened atmosphere of the theatre. Beyond actors his oeuvre spans folklore subjects sumo portraits travel scenes and landscapes all rendered with a distinctive dramatic flair. This example depicting the celebrated actor Ichikawa Danjuro in the role of a male spirit is characteristic of Kunichika’s late work: striking theatrical and richly coloured with a palpable sense of presence. His legacy endures as one of the final guardians of the ukiyo-e tradition bridging two defining eras of Japanese cultural and political change. Size: 24 x 37 cms. Text is in Japanese.

Wassell a U.S. Navy physician who risked his life to save wounded American sailors during the Japanese invasion of Java in World War II. Hilton presents Wassell as a figure of moral courage and quiet heroism whose actions—defying evacuation orders to ensure the safety of his patients—earned him the Navy Cross and widespread national recognition.
