EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOKLET: "Few names are as evocative as that of Guernica. The ruthless bombardment of this small Basque town a regional capital and ancient pilgrimage site became one of the blackest and bloodiest spots in the history of the twentieth century. Today it no longer represents only the massacre of a civilian population and a point of no return in the rise of Fascism: Picasso's painting gave to the name of Guernica the scope of a universal symbol that expresses the barbarism of modern warfare. After its militant exhibitions in 1937 Paris and 1939 New York its long exile and its final arrival in Madrid this 'living legend' is displayed behind bulletproof glass in the Cason del Buen Retiro of the Prado Museum. . Picasso executed forty-five sketches between May 1 and June 4 1937 some of which stand on their own as complete drawings. They included six compositional studies four studies of the horse one of the bull one of the horse and bull alone ten of heads of the horse and bull ten studies of female heads six of the woman with a dead child one of the horse and the woman with the child three heads of dead warriors a study of a man with raised arms and two studies of hands. He used a variety of mediums: pencil india ink gouache and oils; and supports: white blue and brown paper plywood and canvas. These studies are not only extraordinary drawings in their own right but they also show the different states of mind through with Picasso passed as he was working on the painting. They are like a seismograph of his thoughts and feelings and so they permit us to understand what he really wanted to paint in Guernica. A study of these sketches reveals the progress of the artist at work - his hesitations his searching the choices he made. They show the slow formation of the images the maturation of the initial idea the successive contributions the departures; in short Picasso's way of working and as such they constitute the laboratory of Guernica.

L'artiste évoque sa passion : la tauromachie The artist writes about his passion: bullfighting

195789530Cannes 1957. Fine. ""The 7th Bull races"" Cannes 13 juin 1957 21 x 27 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet Multi-coloured autograph letter from Pablo Picasso to Max Pellequer signed and dated by the author on June 13 1957. The document includes the autograph address of his villa La Californie. 2 pages on one sheet 22 lines in green blue and red pencils on a watermarked sheet. Minor folds. An exceptional account of Pablo Picasso's passion for bullfighting a recurring theme in his art since his very first works painted at the age of eight ""The Little Yellow Picador"" 1899. Pablo Picasso gives Max Pellequer and his wife details regarding a trip to Arles on July 5 6 and 7 1957 to which the artist has invited them along with a handful of friends. With undisguised enthusiasm he announces that he has booked their rooms at the ""Norpinus"" Nord-Pinus and their seats for the bullfight. Only after providing this essential information does the painter mention the opening of his exhibition at the Réatu Museum and the official dinner with Douglas Cooper the great collector and the mayor of Arles Charles Privat: ""Dinner with Cooper & the mayor"". A performance of ""Aïda at the bullring"" is also scheduled during this Arlesian getaway which ends on the 7th with an intriguing ""bull run with the presence of a black king"". In the 1950s Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque are regular visitors to the Arles bullrings. At that time the painter is not discovering the city. Fascinated by Van Gogh's portraits he paints his first Arlésienne in 1912 and his last featuring Jacqueline just after writing this letter in 1958. But it is his love of bullfighting that will ultimately bind the Andalusian to the bullfighting capital of Provence. From his early Barcelona works Scène de corrida and courses de Taureaux presented to Ambroise Vollard in 1901 to the famous and omnipresent theme of the Minotaur Picasso was one of the main promoters of bullfighting in France. In the late 1950s Arles becomes the painter's mecca for his passion immortalised in 1956 by David Douglas Duncan who photographed Pablo in the Arles bullring captivated by the bullfights. This exceptional letter bears witness to the excitement of the artist who at the height of his international fame becomes for the time being a groupie happy to accommodate his friends in the legendary ""Norpinus"" hotel known for hosting toreros after their bullfights. Bullfighting also features in the other major events presented by the artist in the 22 lines of our sheet. He announces the opening of his first exhibition at the Musée Réattu which gives pride of place to the figure of the bull in Picasso's work. Among the paintings on display from July 6 to September 2 1957 38 of the artist's artworks will be exhibited for the first time. Picasso the main lender for this event will ironically be absent from the opening too busy painting portraits of Jacqueline using pigeon feathers. The author continues his letter by proposing a dinner with British collector Douglas ""Cooper"" who along with the Barcelona Museum will also be invited to contribute to the exhibition. The ""mayor"" of Arles Charles Privat is the second personality invited to this dinner. Picasso and Privat who meet for the first time in April 1957 will maintain a fruitful relationship that will conclude in 1971 with the artist's donation of 57 artworks to the Musée Réattu. In the second part of the letter Pablo Picasso adds a performance of Verdi's opera ""Aïda"" to the schedule demonstrating the artist's continued keen interest in operatic works more than 30 years after designing sets for the Ballets Russes. Finally the only possible conclusion for Picasso's letter and stay with his friends is to attend of course one final bullfight whose announcement itself seems like the title of a painting: bullfight with the presence of a black king"". We do not know which African dignitary attended the 1957 bullfight but the pain unknown

Lettre autographe signée multicolore adressée à Max Pellequer Multi-colored autograph letter to Max Pellequer

1955855571955. Fine. 20 décembre 1955 26.80 x 20.90 cm un feuillet Multi-colored autograph letter to Max Pellequer Elegant multi-colored autograph letter by Pablo Picasso to Max Pellequer signed and dated 'December 20 1955'. A leaf in multi-color pencil blue green orange and red. Traces of transverse folds. This ""graphic"" letter in the most literal sense constitutes a superb polychrome and artistic link in an epistolary chain that linked Picasso and his prominent patron for decades. Despite his prolific correspondence Picasso's entirely autographed letters are extremely rare as Laurence Madeline points out in her article on the confidential activity of the great artist:The inertia paralyzing Picasso who preferred his work as an artist to that of a secretary made the letters he took pleasure in writing more essential and more touching Laurence Madeline Picasso épistolier L'Herne no. 106. Living on the hills over Cannes the painter was indeed helped by his faithful secretary and childhood friend Jaume Sabartés who was responsible for writing numerous missives save a few correspondents notably Pellequer. Picasso wrote each of Pellequer's letters even the most insignificant in an ample voluptuous script playing with letters and words as graphic objects blending aesthetically in the space of the page in perfect contrast to the prosaic nature of the letter's content. It could even be argued that his artistic soul largely invaded his daily and administrative correspondence with his banker and ardent collector of his works. Part of their correspondence is kept at the National Picasso Museum in Paris. An extraordinary recipient. Banker and collector Max Pellequer was introduced to Picasso in 1914 by his uncle by marriage André Level. He quickly became one of Picasso's most important collectors and his financial advisor for over 30 years. Pellequer's interest in his art began as early as the 1910's when he purchased a Picasso bronze from the art dealer Ambroise Vollard. During the 1930s and 1940s as Picasso's personal banker he secured and enhanced the painter's wealth and allowed him to settle comfortably in the South of France. Picasso created a superb ex-libris on copper for him bought him paintings including La mer à L'Estaque by Cézanne now in the Picasso museum and offered him a few works. Pellequer assembled a vast collection of paintings by the great masters of modern art: Degas Raoul Dufy Paul Gauguin Fernand Léger Henri Matisse Joan Miró Modigliani and Maurice Utrillo today preserved in the most important international museums. The epistolary art of Picasso. Picasso's epistolary production acted as an outlet for his incessant creative energy which was expressed in ceramics sculptures photographs illustrations collages or poetry. Each letter was an opportunity for genius to blossom regardless of the administrative content of his exchanges with Pellequer. Perhaps to counteract the dullness of his work Picasso redoubled his efforts: an explosion of color calligraphic letters across the page. to conjure up beauty and adorn his words in shimmering hues using oil pastels black felt-tip pens or colored pencils.These alphabet letters numbers words and sentences placed on the paper like so many musical scales are literally brought to life by the creative power of the painter. The years of La Californie in Cannes. Living with Jacqueline Roque in the villa La Californie at the time of this letter the painter was producing a series of captivating lithographed portraits of his partner. Paradoxically this colorful letter corresponds to a very monochrome period of his work a superb counterpart to the black washes on zinc. Matisse with whom Pellequer also corresponded had died a month earlier. A very beautiful and visual illustration of Picasso's need for total expression through his correspondence with one of his close advisors and friends. unknown

Tear in the lower left corner. Colour is not systematically used in Pablo Picasso's letters. It would seem that the artist wanted to make a kind gesture towards his friend and banker Max Pellequer because the more aesthetically pleasing his letters are the more valuable they are.
