Suzuki and Eugen Herrigel. Herrigel's Zen in the Art of Archery a classic account of his six‑year immersion in Japanese archery KyūdŠduring the 1920s explores the discipline as a gateway to understanding Zen Buddhism while Suzuki one of the most influential figures in bringing Zen thought to the West provides the philosophical and spiritual framework that illuminates archery as a contemplative path. Woven into this dialogue are Braque's own aphorisms and reflections with their emphasis on nuance intuition and the quiet interior space from which art emerges. Together these elements create a rare and compelling bridge between modern abstract art and Zen philosophy. In very good condition but some age spotting on the paper inside. A small restoration has been carried out on the top inch of the spine of the endpaper barely visible. </p><p>Reference: Dora Vallier 153</p> Louis Broder

196191893Mourlot 1961. Fine. Braque's celestial inferno Mourlot s. d. 1961 25.4 x 32 cm Une feuille encadrée Original lithograph printed by Mourlot on nacré Japan paper signed in pencil by Georges Braque. In 1961 Georges Braque created four lithographs to illustrate Marcel Jouhandeau's Descente aux Enfers published by the Nouveau Cercle parisien du livre in 200 copies on Rives paper. A suite on Japan paper was included with a small number of copies most of them unsigned. This lithograph is one of the rare Japan paper proofs bearing a magnificent original signature by the artist. Like Picasso after him Braque worked directly on the stone in the workshop of Fernand Mourlot the foremost address in Parisian lithography collaborating closely with the pressroom craftsmen to execute his compositions himself. The bird motif which first appeared in the artist's work in 1929 runs throughout this final period in his paintings as in his prints including this lithograph from Descente aux Enfers one of the very last illustrated books Georges Braque would produce. Rare in his uvre the remarkable lightness of colour in this work sets it apart from the other compositions in the book. Birds clouds and sky are woven together with the natural undulations of the Japan paper. Form and colour seem poised to dissolve into the sheet itself leaving for a moment the impression that the artist has signed bare space. A rare and superb lithograph on Japan paper with the artist's manuscript signature in pencil. Two small traces of adhesive on the verso. Mourlot unknown

1937510540Verve 1937. First Edition. Paperback. FINE. Complete run of the first four issues of Teriade's legendary art magazine. Beginning with a stunning cover produced by Matisse for the first issue Verve would incorporate fresh artwork into its cover designed newly commissioned by artists such as Miro Picasso Chagall and other leading lights of the French art world. Each issue offered spectacular color lithographs printed by the Paris lithographers Mourlot. Early issues came in litho-printed card wrappers in boxes later volumes would be in paper-over board with litho covers. This choce allowed Teriade to feature the fresh lithographic artwork in the cover design but left the books themselves extremely fragile and succeptible to wear. Additionally the full-page lithographs have been continuous targets for art dealers looking to excise the plates. So condition seen here is quite rare with each volume preserved COMPLETE FINE with no signs of the wear and toning so commonly seen. 'The cover of Verve No. 1 is by Henri Matisse; it consists of three unmodulated colors--red blue and black--that the master cut directly from printers' ink specimen books. . Mattisse's cover for the first issue lithographed by Fernand Mourlot printers was an original work of art created expressly for the magazine--as would be practically all of the Verve's covers. . The painter took great pains to make sure that the cover would turn out exactly as he wished. . THe care Matisse lavished on what others might consider a minor undertaking was one of the hallmarks of Teriade's publications. How did he induce the greatest artists of this century to give the very best of themelves . Matisse and Teriade shared a common ideal. For both of them painting was life itself.'

HALF TITLE WITH ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR OF BLUE LEAVES AND INSCRIPTION BY BRAQUE: "Pour Max Pellequer bien amicalement G. Braque 1951." Peyré "Peinture et Poésie" p. 149; The Artist and the Book 1860-1960 37. Isolated faint marginal foxing slight crease to title page but a VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and bright internally in a pristine binding.<br/> <br/> Bound to a sculptural Art Deco design and elegantly illustrated and inscribed by a great 20th century artist this is a collection of five poems about "sapates"--valuable gifts hidden inside a gift of lesser value such as a diamond ring inside a cupcake. Our volume does not fall under this category: its outside is every bit as impressive as the contents. The celebrated French artist Georges Braque 1882-1963 was a painter collagist printmaker and sculptor who made important contributions to the Fauves movement in the early 20th century and to the development of Cubism in which he and Picasso were the leading lights. The illustrations here done near the end of his long career depict the five "sapates"--oil olives a jug a rough sketch of a fish a shutter--in simple black and white with more realism than his Cubist works but still in simple pared-down lines. To accompany the inscription of this volume to banker Max Pellequer d. 1974 nephew of Picasso's friend André Level Braque added a small painting of cerulean blue leaves a single note of color in the blacks whites and grays of the text and one picked up by binder François Brindeau who used that hue for the lettering on the covers. Brindeau studied at the École Estienne graduating in 1976 and then worked with Jean de Gonet. He created the present binding for bibliophile and former Olympic rowing medalist Maurice Houdayer 1931-2020 a connoisseur of contemporary bindings who had a great love of Art Deco. Houdayer served as president of the Amis de la Reliure Originale and assembled an impressive collection of illustrated books in bindings he commissioned from innovative designers. Montpellier-born poet Francis Ponge 1899-1988 was known as "the poet of things" because he wrote about simple everyday objects like the subjects of the present work. His poetry invites us to contemplate often overlooked commonplace objects and perhaps in doing so to discover something about the human psyche. Literary critic David Gascoyne noted that Ponge "addressed himself to the common reader in the hope of persuading us that poetry is not merely a preoccupation of the idle and overeducated.".

Maroquin brun orné d'un imposant décor mosaïqué passant sur le dos composé de formes allongées en box ivoire orangé moutarde vieux rose et vert compartimentées en vague et serties d'un sillon de box ivoire titre mosaïqué à la chinoise reprenant les tons du décor tranches dorées sur témoins couverture illustrée conservée chemise et étui bordés reliure signée de Renée Haas 1963. . Tirage à 150 exemplaires sur papier d’Auvergne signé par Georges Braque illustré de 20 eaux-fortes originales de Georges Braque dont 16 gravures hors-texte exécutées en 1932 à la demande d’Ambroise Vollard et 4 autres en 1953 : la couverture en cinq couleurs vernie par l’artiste le frontispice en deux couleurs la tête de chapitre et le cul-de-lampe. . Ambroise Vollard et Georges Braque débutent la réalisation de ce grand livre dans tous les sens du terme en 1931 avec 16 eaux-fortes dans l’atelier Vollard dont le décès l’année suivante stoppe l’impression et le projet. Aimé Maeght vingt ans plus tard en reprend l’édition avec Braque qui réalise là ce qui est considéré depuis comme son plus beau livre illustré. Deux ans de travail seront nécessaires pour achever l’impression des 150 exemplaires sur Auvergne. À l’exception de la page de titre et de la justification l’ensemble du texte est rédigé en grec. Chaque couverture a été vernie par Braque lui-même avec une magnifique et particulière couleur ocre. François Chapon qualifie ainsi le travail de l’artiste : « La rigueur du métal ne fait qu’accentuer la grâce mouvante de la ligne. Du matériau mordu par l’acide Braque tire les tailles croisées ou parallèles qui situent cet empire universel ». Roger Vieillard dans son ouvrage traitant des livres du peintre l’a définie ainsi : « Une étonnante invention de formes se révèle dans la gravure. Le tracé d’eau-forte souple mais rigoureux définitif sans perdre les vertus vivantes de l’improvisation construit un espace cohérent comme un bas-relief tandis que la coloration de surfaces n’est pas moins présente que dans ses peintures. » Grande reliure de Renée Haas qui réserva ses talents à quelques heureux collectionneurs expliquant la rareté de ses reliures sur le marché. Ce fut le marchand Alexandre Loewy qui lui confia ses premières commandes au début des années 1960 : des livres illustrés parmi les plus importants soit ceux de Picasso Braque Miro et Matisse dont au moins quatre exemplaires de Jazz.
