L'édition PAB est la dernière qui sera donnée des Transparents qui ont fait l'objet de nombreuses rééditions depuis leur première parution en 1949 au Mercure de France. Avant Picasso Louis Fernandez Vieira da Silva Nicolas de Staël s'y étaient risqués. Les Transparents aux yeux de Char étaient les personnages de son enfance peu à peu disparus du paysage rural : jusqu'à dix-sept - tous des hommes - se trouveront décrits dans les différentes éditions que donnera le poète : Toquebiol Joseph Puissantseigneur Laurent de Venasque Crillon le brave Odin le Roc Raymond de Ridet entre autres formeront cette curieuse et respectée cohorte de figures d'errants. Picasso en donnera ici quatre saisissants portraits par un procédé nouveau pour lui mais qu'il avait vu utiliser par Georges Braque avec PAB : « Un carton plan ou ondulé souple ou plus rigide est découpé déchiré incisé ou gratté par l'artiste puis fixé par l'imprimeur sur un support à la hauteur typographique finalement encré et tiré » Coron Le Fruit donné p. 39. La cartalégraphie constitue un développement de la gravure sur celluloïd déjà pratiquée par Picasso avec PAB. Grâce à procédé PAB imprima huit livres de Braque dont le premier en 1959 Dans vos jardins. Après Picasso ce fut au tour de Joan Miró d'être conquis en 1975 ; il réalisa cinq découpes : trois furent employées dans Pour 1971.

191778126Paris 1917. Fine. Paris 1917 6.30 x 8.60 cm une photographie Original photograph likely unique and unpublished of Pablo Picasso at the Casa di Marco Lucrezio Pompeii spring 1917 Paris 1917 63 x 86 cm one photograph Original photograph depicting Pablo Picasso in the spring of 1917 at the Casa di Marco Lucrezio in Pompeii holding a twig in front of a wall on which there is a Pompeian fresco. Contemporary silver print perhaps unique from Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection. Exceptional almost undiscovered and probably unpublished photograph taken by Jean Cocteau during the stay. On 16 April 1917 Picasso visits Pompeii accompanied by Jean Cocteau and Léonide Massine to prepare the ballet Parade the first work described as surrealist by Guillaume Apollinaire for the new season of Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. On his return this initiatory journey inspired his monumental painting: the Parade stage curtain a real visual signature of the ballet marking the beginnings of Picasso's neo-classical period and today preserved at the Musée national d'Art Moderne Georges Pompidou. Pierre Daix in his bibliography dedicated to the painter recounts the aesthetic shock caused by the discovery of the Pompeian frescoes: Giovanni Carandente to whom we owe the best studies on this trip highlights that Picasso was strongly struck by the animation and the sensuality that the cataclysm of the year 79 AD had brutally destroyed. If it is true as he wrote to Gertrude Stein that he immediately drew many Pompeian fantasies which are a little daring attracted as he was by the erotic elation that emerges from these licentious paintings . these memories settled in him to emerge with force thereafter. . Everything that had made up the Pompeian universe was preserved on the site as well as in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples . In its singularity this universe contributed to enriching Picasso's cultural heritage with something more alive more trembling than he had gained from his museum visits until then. He particularly loved the conciseness of the paintings: two or three years later the impressions felt in Pompeii were to translate into a real creative explosion a series of paintings which all bore traces of these never buried memories. This source was to remain alive until La Danse of 1925. Pierre Daix Picasso. Unique and early original photograph of Picasso taken and printed by his friend Jean Cocteau in a mythical place that will influence his aesthetic for the long-term. Provenance: Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection and Max-Philippe Delatte. unknown
191678127Paris 1916. Fine. Paris 12 août 1916 6.30 x 8.60 cm une feuille Original photograph likely unique taken by Jean Cocteau showing Pablo Picasso and Co in Montparnasse in front of the café La Rotonde the 12 August 1916 Paris 12 august 1916 63 x 86 cm one photograph Original photograph by Jean Cocteau taken on 12 August 1916 showing Manuel Ortiz de Zárate Moïse Kisling Max Jacob Pablo Picasso and the model Pâquerette his girlfriend at the time posing in front of the famous café La Rotonde on Boulevard du Montparnasse in Paris. Contemporary silver print probably unique from Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection. This image was published in Billy Klüver's book entitled A day with Picasso: twenty-four photographs by Jean Cocteau 1997. However Klüver states that he didn't know the original photograph and used a modern reprint from the negative in the Cocteau archives for his work. We have not found any other copy of our original photograph in international public collections. Billy Klüver has assembled and commented on the twenty-one photographs taken by Jean Cocteau on 12 August 1916 in Montparnasse close to this intersection of the Boulevard Raspail and the Boulevard du Montparnasse which was named Place Pablo-Picasso in 1994. They take us to the café La Rotonde before which a beaming Picasso in a cap speaks with Max Jacob whose baldness shines in the sun behind them Henri-Pierre Roché in uniform and Manuel Ortiz de Zarate sit at a table on the terrace of the same café where Pablo is next to the glowing Pâquerette and the young Polish painter Moïse Kisling. Pâquerette with her hair in a headband a chic dress is the queen of the encounter. . It's the relaxed life at the back. Pâquerette or rather Émilienne Pâquerette Geslot was then a star model of the fashion designer Poiret who was all the rage at the time. A real one-day film of Picasso outside of his studio. Pierre Daix Picasso In his book Klüver questions the presence of all these artistic authorities in the making in a Paris that is deserted by war. The answer is according to him to search in the direction of the Salon d'Antin an exhibition organized by André Salmon in July 1916 in which all the protagonists of our photograph took part with the exception of Pâquerette. It is also on this occasion that Picasso reveals his Demoiselles d'Avignon to the public. This extremely rare image taken by Jean Cocteau with his mother's Kodak camera immortalizes a moment of joy that depicts the artistic all-Montparnasse of the early 20th century. Provenance: Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection and Max-Philippe Delatte. unknown

It remains renowned for its striking juxtapositions: Rather than assemble documents from separate fields rather than uphold the usual subordination of image to text the journal gives photography drawing and image the privilege of being the most primal substance or the most original trace of human expression Georges Sebbag. Ethnography Documents is remembered above all for Batailles radical ethnographic stance focused on the material and detached from aesthetic criteria and the usual fascination with exoticism. These groundbreaking views foreshadow the Collège de sociologie that Bataille would later found with Michel Leiris Roger Caillois and Jules Moncrot. They are also reflected in the journal through numerous photographs of masks stones and other non-Western artistic creations Siberian Chinese. set alongside modern artworks including drawings by Klee and paintings by Picasso. Bataille also collaborated with the notorious Hans Bellmer who would go on to illustrate the famous second edition of Histoire de lil to create a terrifying portrait of the Hindu goddess of destruction Kali. photography The journal places particular emphasis on photography. Among its most celebrated contributions are the close-up photographs of toes by Jacques-André Boiffard accompanying Batailles essay on the foot in issue no. 6: The point of this article lies in an insistence on directly and explicitly challenging what seduces without relying on poetic contrivances which ultimately amount to little more than diversion Bataille concludes.

19561288661956. Signed. PICASSO Pablo. Autograph letter signed. Cannes March 4 1956. One leaf measuring 5-1/4 by 8-1/4 inches writing in ink on recto; handsomely floated matted and framed with a later print of his self-portrait entire piece measures 17-1/2 inches by 15 inches. $13500.Autograph letter signed by Pablo Picasso written to his friend the banker Max Pellequer.The letter written from Picasso's studio ""La Californie"" in Cannes reads in full in translation: ""'La Californie' Cannes le 4.3.56. ""My dear friend Max I present to you my friend Roland Penrose who is writing a book about me. He would like me to see his words manuscript at your house. Thank you and best to you. Picasso."" The recipient of this letter Max Pellequer was a French banker who co- founded and later directed the Banque Nationale du Commerce et de l'Industrie. Over several decades Pellequer's astute financial advice and shrewd stewardship of Picasso's sprawling assets enabled the artist to become a millionaire. Pellequer was also a kindred spirit a serious art collector who acquired artwork by artists like Picasso Degas Cézanne Gauguin Matisse Miró Modigliani Dufy and others. Picasso purchased works from Pellequer's collection and the artist designed a bookplate for his beloved friend. During the Nazi occupation of France Pellequer is believed to have helped save some of Picasso's work by hiding it. This is no small accomplishment when one considers it would have probably been classified as ""degenerate"" by the Nazis and otherwise destroyed. Sir Roland Penrose 1900-1982 was a British surrealist artist and avid promoter of modern art. He wrote Portrait of Picasso in connection with an exhibition in celebration of Picasso's 75th birthday held from May to September 1956 at the Institute Contemporary of Contemporary Arts in London and MOMA in New York. With an introduction by Alfred Barr the volume included paintings and drawings personal photographs documents and souvenirs of Picasso as seen by himself and through the eyes of his friends.Fine condition. unknown

The very rare poster by Picasso together with the catalogue and the invitation - also with the same image by Picasso - for Paul Eluard's 1937 conference 'Avenir de la Poésie'.Paul Eluard's conference 'Avenir de la Poésie' Future of Poetry was held on October 2nd 1937 at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées 15 Avenue Montaigne the 'Salon Dada' in 1921 had been held at number 13 at 16.15 p.m. as part of the Exposition Internationale 1937. It seems surprising at least with hindsight to imagine that a Surrealist conference might occur under such an umbrella but the Surrealists were nothing if not serious and Eluard's devotion to poetry cannot be questioned or underestimated.'Avenir de la Poésie' saw Eluard as well as a number of actors close to the Surrealists Michèle Alfa Marcel Herrand who had participated at the dada evening 'Le Coeur à Barbe' in 1921 Jean Marchat Jean-Louis Barrault and Sylvain Itkine whose group 'Le Diable Ecarlate' featured extensively in the Exposition reading poems. The list of poets is comprehensive and included Petrus Borel Charles Baudelaire Gérard de Nerval Germain Nouveau the Comte de Lautréamont Isidore Ducasse Rimbaud Charles Cros Jarry Apollinaire Reverdy Breton Henri Michaux Tzara Péret René Char Eluard himself and Picasso.The poster invitation and catalogue all feature to the front cover a reproduction of the engraved collaboration between Picasso and Eluard 'Grand Air'. The very rare print 'Grand Air' was issued - a few proofs aside - only with the ten copies of the édition de tête of Eluard's verse collection 'Les Yeux Fertiles'. Eluard and Picasso had each contributed to 'Grand Air' Eluard a poem of eighteen lines and Picasso the pictorial frame: at right a nude female minotaur a mask opposite at left out of which the minotaur seems to have snatched the left eye above a rocky landscape with a reclining smoking figure with cat beneath; that the cat appears to be suckling three small black fish underlines the essential Surrealism of the whole.'Le pain est plus utile que la poésie. Mais l'amour au sens complet humain du mot l'amour-passion n'est pas plus utile que la poésie.' Paul Eluard. For the material presented here Eluard's central verse has been replaced with the title of the conference 'Avenir de la Poésie' with his retained signature beneath while the entirety of Picasso's framing is present and the image is attributed to him for the catalogue and invitation at lower left. Details of the conference are printed above and beneath for the catalogue and poster and facing the illustration on the invitation.The poster is not described by Christophe Czwiklitzer in his 1968 'Catalogue Raisonné des Affiches de Pablo Picasso'. The first 'original' poster listed an original lithograph is from 1948 while the first 'exécutées par différents procédés de reproduction' is from 1939.While the catalogue 'Avenir de la Poésie' is rare and the invitation rarer still we trace no other examples of the poster in any collection public or private.

Number 17 of only 30 copies. A rare early illustration of Picasso's close friend Max Jacob done in celebration of Jacob's conversion to Christianity. Jacob who had Jewish origins claimed to have had a vision of Christ in 1909 causing his conversion. The illustration of Jacob the first of Picasso's drawings of Max Jacob seated comfortably in a fine armchair dressed in his three piece suit. The printed text: Top A mon ami Max Jacob / Picasso .10 / 22 R. Victor Hugo / Montrouge Seine - Middle L'archange foudroyé n'eut que le temps / de desserrer sa cravate . On aurait sit qu'il / priait encore./ C. Max Jacob. Signed in pencil with his new Christian name: "C. Max Jacob" and by "Picasso" at the bottom. A very good or better example of this rare piece - Max Jacob is regarded as an important link between the symbolists and the surrealists as can be seen in his prose poems Le cornet à dés The Dice Box 1917. Throughout the year of 1901 Picasso traveled to Barcelona & Paris for art exhibitions. During an exhibition in Paris Picasso met Max Jacob. Max Jacob was a poet painter & art critic with connections in the Parisian cultural scene. The two artists developed a friendship after Jacob left an admiring note for Picasso at the art gallery displaying Picasso's work Richardson Vol. I 203. Jacob introduced Picasso to the French language and to French theatre; Jacob was also an actor. Jacob took Picasso to see operas which possibly included I Pagliacci & La Bohème Richardson Vol. I 338. "At night there were frequent visits to the cabarets of Montmartre such as the Chat Noir and when tickets could be found to the Moulin Rouge" Penrose Picasso 76. Picasso & his friends also enjoyed the artistic atmosphere of Le Lapin Agile. Artists & writers would congregate at the small café to listen to recitals exchange ideas & celebrate special occasions such as the opening of an exhibition Penrose Picasso 117. The walls of the café were lined with work by artists that were used as payment for debts. Theatrical entertainment was a prominent part of Picasso's social life in Paris. By 1904 Picasso had established a foothold in Paris and would remain in the cultural center of Europe for the rest of his life. Picasso & Max Jacob cultivated their talents in a dwelling known as the Bateau Lavoir. According to Penrose this place was ". . . composed it seemed of nothing but lofts & cellars all in such a sad state of repair. . . " Picasso 96. Artists of all endeavors were attracted to this bohemian style of living. Picasso's neighbors included painters sculptors writers & actors Penrose Picasso 102. One of Picasso's most influential friends entered his life in 1905: Guillaume Apollinaire. "From the first encounter Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire established a creative dialogue that fostered and inspired some of their finest art & poetry". Apollinaire was a poet & playwright identified as a Surrealist who kept close connections with literary & artistic figures in Paris including Max Jacob & André Salmon. He was a great source for Picasso to meet writers & theatre artists. Many of Picasso's friends encouraged him to frequent the theatre with artists & poets from Paris Picasso Penrose 177. Even though Picasso was not in Paris he managed to find groups of artistic individuals to stay abreast of cultural gossip & happenings. Picasso's connections with writers led him to create several illustrations for books of poetry for friends. For example during summer 1910 in Cadaques Catalonia painting with Derain Picasso was commissioned to illustrate a poetic novel written by Max Jacob titled Saint Matorel issued by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler in 1911. Penrose Picasso 179. This was only the first of a collections of poetry they collaborated on. 1910 unknown

It is here in his presentation-article to "Parade" that Apollinaire coins the term "surrealism" and thus lays the foundation for the seminal cultural movement that Bréton came to lead. Furthermore the ballet "Parade" represents a historical collaboration between several of the leading artistic minds of the early twentieth century: Erik Satie Jean Cocteau Pablo Picasso Léonide Massine and Serge Diaghilev and is famous not only for its contents and its music but also for its magnificent costumes designed by Picasso the drawings of which are presented in the present publication for the first time - most famously the front cover for the "Parade"-programme which depicts the "Costume de Chinois du ballet "PARADE"/ Aquarelle de Picasso" an etching with original stunning pochoir-colouring hand-painted by Picasso himself!.It is the 1917 ballet "Parade" - the first of the modern ballets - originally presented for the first time in the present publication that marks Picasso's entry into the public and bourgeois institutions of ballet and theatre and presents Cubism on the stage for the first time. The present publication constitutes an outright revolution in the history of art theatre and ballet.Several variants of this spectacular publication exist but the one we have here is as original and complete as it comes containing the entire contents of the different variants. We not only have the extremely scarce and fragile dust-wrapper and the equally scarce illustrated coloured double-wrappers front: "Peinture de Picasso"; back: Décor de Larionow pour le ballet "BABA IAGA"" but also the entire 1917 "Théatre du Chatelet"-programme in original illustrated wrappers with the entire separate "parade"-issue -also entitled "Programme des Ballets Russes"- also in original illustrated wrappers with more than 20 leaves of photographic illustrations containing pictures of the actors and actresses also in their spectacular avant-garde-costumes Bakst's portrait of Leonide Massine Picasso's portrait of Stavinski Bakst's portrait of Picasso Picasso and Massine in the ruins of Pompei Picasso's drawings of a scene from "Parade" and of Massine as well as several mostly humorous advertisements. But more importantly we have apart from the above-mentioned famous Chinaman by Picasso in original pochoir-colouring the other famous etching by Picasso "Costume d'acrobate du ballet "Parade"/ Aquarelle de Picasso" also in original pochoir-colouring bright blue the seminal presentation-article by Apollinaire which coins the term "surrealism" see bottom of description for full translation of this groundbreaking preface the two "Les Femmes de Bonne Humeur"-figures by Bakst Constanza and Battista printed and heightened in gold pochoir the printed costume by Larionow "Les contes russes" which is with original bright red and blue pochoir-colouring and the "Le Mendiant"-costume by Bakst for "Parade" and of course the texts by Bakst on choreography and décor Georges-Michel Ballets Russes after the War as well as the texts for the various ballets listing the actors and their rôles as well as a resume of the plot. " "Tact in audacity consists in knowing how far we may go too far." Jean Cocteau poet writer and arts advocate made this statement in his 1918 manifesto The Cock and Harlequin. Cocteau in collaboration with Erik Satie and Pablo Picasso discovered "how far" to "go too far" in the circus-like ballet Parade-one of the most revolutionary works of the twentieth century. Parade incorporates elements of popular entertainment and uses extra-musical sounds such as the typewriter lottery wheel and pistol combining them with the art of ballet. Cocteau wrote the scenario for the one-act ballet and contracted the other artists. Satie wrote the score to the ballet first in a piano four-hands version and then in full orchestration while Picasso designed the curtain set and costumes. Later Léonide Massine a dancer with the Ballet Russes was brought in as the choreographer. Serge Diaghilev's Ballet Russes premiered the ballet Parade on May 18 1917. The program notes for the ballet were written by the poet Apollinaire. They became a manifesto of l'esprit nouveau or "the new spirit" which was taking hold in Paris during the early twentieth-century. Apollinaire described the ballet Parade as "surrealistic" and in doing so created a term which would develop into an important artistic school." Tracy A. Doyle Erik Satie's ballet PARADE p. 1.When the French poet and army officer Guillaume Apollinaire wrote the program notes For "Parade" he created the manifesto of the "l'esprit nouveau" - "the new spirit". Cocteau had called the ballet "realistic" but Apollinaire took it an important step further and described it as "surrealistic" thus coining a term that would soon develop into an important artistic movement. With Picasso Apollinaire had established the aesthetic principals of Cubism and was considered a leader in the European avant-garde. ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF APOLLINAIRE'S PROGRAMME NOTES TO "PARADE": "Definitions of Parade are blossoming everywhere like the lilac bushes of this tardy spring.It is a scenic poem transposed by the innovative musician Erik Satie into astonishingly expressive music so clear and simple that it seems to reflect the marvelously lucid spirit of France. The cubist painter Picasso and the most daring of today's choreographers Léonide Massine have here consummately achieved for the first time that alliance between painting and dance between the plastic and mimetic arts that is a herald of the more comprehensive art to come. There is nothing paradoxical about this. The Ancients in whose lives music played such an important role were totally unaware of harmony which constitutes the very basis of modern music. This new alliance - I say new because until now scenery and costumes were linked only by factitious bonds - has given rise in Parade to a kind of surrealism which I consider to be the point of departure for a whole series of Manifestations of the New Spirit that is making itself felt today and that will certainly appeal to our best minds. We may expect it to bring about profound changes in our arts and manners through universal joyfulness for it is only natural after all that they keep pace with scientific and industrial progress. Having broken with the choreographic tradition cherished by those who used to be known in Russia under the strange name 'balletomanes' Massine has been careful not to yield to the temptation of pantomime. He has produced something totally new-a marvelously appealing kind of dance so true so lyrical so human and so joyful that it would even be capable if it were worth the trouble of illuminating the terrible black sun of Dürer's Melancholy. Jean Cocteau has called this a realistic ballet. Picasso's cubist costumes and scenery bear witness to the realism of his art. This realism - or this cubism if you will - is the influence that has most stirred the arts over the past ten years. The costumes and scenery in Parade show clearly that its chief aim has been to draw the greatest possible amount of aesthetic emotion from objects. Attempts have often been made to return painting to its barest elements. In most of the Dutch painters in Chardin in the impressionists one finds hardly anything but painting. Picasso goes further than any of them. This is clearly evident in Parade a work in which one's initial astonishment is soon replaced by admiration. Here the aim is above all to express reality. However the motif is not reproduced but represented-more precisely it is not represented but rather suggested by means of an analytic synthesis that embraces all the visible elements of an object and if possible something else as well: an integral schematization that aims to reconcile contradictions by deliberately renouncing any attempt to render the immediate appearance of an object. Massine has Adapted himself astonishingly well to the discipline of Picasso's art. He has identified himself with it and his art has become enriched with delightful inventions such as the realistic steps of the horse in Parade Formed by two dancers one of whom does the steps of the forelegs and the other those of the hind legs. The fantastic constructions representing the gigantic and surprising features of The Managers far from presenting an obstacle to Massine's imagination have one might say served to give it a liberating impetus. All in all Parade will change the ideas of a great many spectators. They will be surprised that is certain; but in a most agreeable way and charmed as well; Parade will reveal to them all the gracefulness of the Modern movements a gracefulness they never suspected. A magnificent vaudeville Chinaman will make their imaginations soar; the American Girl cranking up her imaginary car will express the magic of their daily lives whose wordless rites are celebrated with exquisite and astonishing agility by the acrobatin blue and white tights." </em> unknown
