191586629Cagnes Cagnes-sur-Mer 1915. Fine. Cagnes Cagnes-sur-Mer 6 avril 1915 10.90 x 16.40 cm 1 page sur un feuillet Autograph letter signed by Auguste Renoir dated in his hand April 6 1915. One page in black ink on a sheet with letterhead ""Les Collettes Cagnes A.-M."". Transverse fold marks inherent to posting. Renoir composed this missive in his house at Les Collettes in Cagnes which witnessed the birth of works of great sensuality and where he also tried his hand at sculpture: « Cher ami J'ai vu ta lettre avec plaisir je me porte à merveille et ce matin reçu lettre de Jean Renoir qui se repose quelques jours. Je t'écrirai plus longuement bientôt tâche surtout malgré tous les ennuis de bien te porter. A toi » Dear friend I was pleased to see your letter I am in excellent health and this morning received a letter from Jean Renoir who is resting for a few days. I will write to you at greater length soon try above all despite all the troubles to take good care of yourself. Yours We find this same enthusiasm from Renoir a few weeks later in the memoirs of his son Jean who was hit by a German bullet shortly after this letter: « Mon père m'attendait dans son fauteuil roulant. Il y avait déjà plusieurs années qu'il ne marchait plus. Je le trouvais beaucoup plus recroquevillé qu'à mon départ pour le front. Par contre son expression était d'une vivacité extrême. Il m'avait entendu sur le palier et rayonnait de sa malice heureuse. Ses yeux semblaient dire : 'cette fois ils t'ont bien raté !' » My father was waiting for me in his wheelchair. It had been several years since he could walk. I found him much more hunched over than when I left for the front. However his expression was extremely lively. He had heard me on the landing and was beaming with his happy mischief. His eyes seemed to say: 'this time they really missed you!'. Touching and radiant note from the great painter a very visual document. Provenance: pasted stamp on verso of the sheet from the collection of the scholar and collector Ray Rawlins. unknown
190187727Cagnes 1901. Fine. Cagnes s.d. printemps 1901 10.50 x 17.20 cm 1 page sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter signed ""R"" by Auguste Renoir addressed to his friend and great collector of his works Paul Bérard. One and a half pages in black ink on a bifolium. Horizontal fold mark inherent to mailing. Renoir writes this letter to the diplomat and banker Paul Bérard one of the most significant figures in his career who commissioned no fewer than ten paintings. They maintained a correspondence spanning several decades. At Bérard's residence the château de Wargemont near Dieppe Renoir painted a number of his masterpieces: celebrated landscapes and portraits of the Bérard family ""some of his liveliest and most unsual portraits"" Anne Distel as well as their cousins and even their butler. Three years earlier the painter had traveled in the footsteps of the Dutch masters with Bérard accompanied by Claude Monet and the art dealer Durand-Ruel. At the time of writing this letter Renoir was staying in the South of France to relieve his rheumatism which eventually led him in the later part of his life to brilliantly explore the medium of sculpture. He mentions the Grand Hôtel des Colonies et des Négociants in Cannes which he often frequented during his stays in the region. This letter may date from the spring of 1901 according to his correspondence with Durand-Ruel Renoir indeed stayed at this Cannes hotel at that time. Also consistent with our letter his wife Aline left at the same moment for Essoyes her native village with their son Jean future renowned filmmaker. At the beginning of summer a few weeks after this letter Renoir would receive the Légion d'honneur from the hands of the letter's recipient Paul Bérard whom he had chosen to present him with Frances highest distinction. ""Dear friend A little less dazed this morning. I think I can give you some information. I think I will be able to pack my things tomorrow Sunday and go down Monday evening to the Hôtel des Négociants in Cannes opposite sic the station. My wife would leave for her hometown with Jean and I will stay a few days alone. Provided all this is not upset by a fifteenth sudden sic bout of flu. I still hope however to recover sic enough to be able to get about a little with you. R. Will be there Monday for dinner at the hotel."" A charming note from the great painter to one of his most important collectors : ""Bérard became a lifelong friend seemingly because he preferred the artistic vie de Boheme to the company of his own social set"" John House. This highly visual document dates from a decisive moment in the reception of Renoirs work just weeks before he was awarded the Légion d'honneur and as his paintings finally began entering French museum collections. With special thanks to Mr. Augustin de Butler for his assistance in preparing this description. unknown

Original Typed Letter Signed by French film director Jean Renoir to Belgian screenwriter Charles Spaak regarding the restoration and re-release of Renoir’s classic film Grand Illusion the the screenplay for which was written by Spaak. For many years the original nitrate film negative of the film was thought to have been lost in an Allied air raid in 1942 that destroyed a leading laboratory outside Paris. Prints of the film were rediscovered in 1958 and restored and re-released during the early 1960s. Text in French. Fine condition with a few minor creases from folding. In translation the letter begins: “Dear Charles I hope your scenario is moving ahead that Claudie is enjoying the beautiful weather in Ischia and that you are both very happy.†Renoir goes on to offer suggestions and information for both the narrative and various administrative / distribution issues with mentions of editor Renee Lichtig and producer Ginette Doynel. The letter concludes: “Forgive this long letter. I must include in it both what’s mandatory and what’s useless. You will no doubt do the same when you are in Paris writing to me in America. We are training to become ‘businessmen.’ Dido his wife and I send kisses to the both of you.†Signed “Jean†with JEAN RENOIR typed beneath. The son of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir Jean Renoir 1894 - 1979 made more than forty films from the silent era to the end of the 1960s. La Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game 1939 are often cited by critics as among the greatest films ever made. In 1975 he received a Lifetime Achievement Academy Award for this contribution to the motion picture industry. Grand Illusion was released in the U.S. on September 12 1938 starring Jean Gabin Dita Parlo Pierre Fresnay Erich von Stroheim and Julien Carette. The film tells the story of two French soldiers during WWI who are captured and imprisoned in a German P.O.W. camp from which they are determined to escape.
