In Failing Health Edgar Degas Takes the Cure at Dordogne’s Mont-Dore

21666DEGAS EDGAR. 1834-1917. French artist and one of the founders of Impressionism. ALS. "Degas". 1p. 12mo. Paris July 26 1897. To Monsieur Baudin possibly French porcelain maker labor activist and member of the Chamber of Deputies EUGÈNE BAUDIN 1853-1918. In French with translation."If you are still at Mont Dore the 3rd or the 4th we are going to see one another. I am going there for a cure. I am writing to you in Paris hoping it will be forwarded to you and at the same time I am writing to Mont Dore assuming that the mailman will find you…"Degas began to study painting early – first at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and then in Italy. He exhibited his realistic works at the Salon but by the 1870s he had become disillusioned with that staid institution. At that time he took a leading role among his colleagues Renoir Monet Sisley and Pissarro to launch their own exhibit in 1874. Famously Monet's Impression: Sunrise was on viewearning its members the appellation "Impressionists" a term which Degas firmly rejected. Unlike many of his Impressionist colleagues Degas is not known for landscapes but rather for subjects such as racehorses bathers and dancers through which he depicted the experience of isolation.Degas' attempted enlistment in the Garde Nationale in 1870 was hampered by poor vision a condition that plagued him physically and emotionally and left him totally blind at his death 47 years later. Additionally by the 1890s Degas suffered from "chronic bronchitis incontinence kidney problems 'anemia caused by chronic nephritis' wonky digestion lumbago and bladder trouble" prompting him to undergo unusual treatments as "cupping rye fungus bismuth… 'a footbath aconite and Dr Franck's health grains'…'bismuth laudanum and L'Elixir Asiatique'" as well as a turpentine treatment for the bladder "Letters of Edgar Degas" London Review of Books Barnes. In addition to those remedies Degas took water cures at the spas of Cauterets Pontarlier and Mont-Dore a thermal spring located in the Dordogne Valley. Degas' published letters show that he visited Mont-Dore in August 1895 and August 1897. Written on a carte-lettre with one horizontal fold. Mounting traces on the verso. Evenly toned and in very good condition.

Lettre autographe signée d'Edgar Degas adressée à Charles Deschamps

187084728Paris 1870. Fine. An opera painting travels to London; Degas greets his close friend James Tissot Paris s. d. années 1870 10.80 x 17.10 cm trois pages sur un feuillet double Autograph letter dated and signed by Edgar Degas addressed to the dealer Charles Deschamps director of Durand-Ruels London branch. Three pages in ink on a bifolium. Minor marginal tears not affecting the text folds from mailing. Recently returned from New Orleans Degas writes to his London dealer to announce the imminent arrival of a delicate composition of dancers Le Foyer de la danse à lOpéra de la rue Le Peletier now held at the Musée dOrsay: ""In the meantime you will receive the little picture you saw in progress and which you had the idea of selling to Mr. Huth - May you succeed! . As for the price it seems to me that £150 to £200 is fair"" Deschamps fulfilled the painters wishes and sold the painting to Louis Huth financier and patron of Whistler for £140. The canvas would later enter the distinguished collection of Isaac de Camondo. Degas turned towards London at a time when the English art market offered relief from the collapse that followed the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. He placed great hopes in this expanding British market fuelled by lucrative blockbuster exhibitions drawing millions of visitors; Degass canvases were shown in eight exhibitions of the Société des Artistes Français. Although he often mentions financial difficulties in his correspondence ""At the end of the month I have quite a lot to pay. If some money came in I would be delighted . - Take care of me my dear Deschamps I would be most obliged - Tell me also if the season is not too far advanced. I fear it is"" his career across the Channel was flourishing and his sales profitable. The painter does not fail to salute the ""French colony"" of expatriate artists Giuseppe de Nittis and his close friend James Tissot whose financial success provided Degas with an example of how effectively a French painters work could be marketed in England. Unlike Tissot however Degas refused to adapt to market taste focusing instead on defending the Impressionist cause in France and abroad. He also devotes a passage to a voracious collector of his works the baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure patron of his celebrated series of canvases on the Paris Opéra and owner of Manets Déjeuner sur lherbe: ""I ought to have been in London some time ago according to what I said. I am not there because the picture for Jean-Baptiste Faure is not finished and I would not like to meet him there without being able to give him better news and I hardly have time to dawdle if I want not to arrive on the 1st of September with nothing to deliver to him"". Ironically Faure would later reproach Degas for leaving his canvases unfinished ! and even sue him a few years afterwards. A rare and exceptional letter tracing the history of one of Degass celebrated works and his dealings with dealers and collectors on the eve of the first Impressionist exhibition to be held the following year. ""My dear Deschamps I ought to have been in London some time ago according to what I said. I am not there because the picture for Jean-Baptiste Faure is not finished and I would not like to meet him there without being able to give him better news and I hardly have time to dawdle if I want not to arrive on the 1st of September with nothing to deliver to him - He is leaving London on the 18th or 19th I know that - Perhaps at the end of the month a little earlier however I will come to see you as well as the French colony. But nothing is less certain. In the meantime you will receive the little picture you saw in progress and which you had the idea of selling to Mr. Huth - May you succeed! At the end of the month I have quite a lot to pay. If some money came in I would be delighted - As for the price it seems to me that £150 to £200 is fair - I would like to add two other pieces a little vaporous - I am worki unknown

Donc il est convenu que je vous achète ce portrait du baron Schwiter douze mille francs et que je vous paie ainsi : trois pastels de moi. Je transcris votre lettre du reste j'y copie : Deux de ces pastels représenteront des groupes de danseuses et le troisième une ou deux blanchisseuses. Pour ce dernier je me réserve la faculté de les remplacer par des danseuses si ça m'allait mieux. Si vous pouvez me dites-vous me livrer un de ces pastels d'ici un ou deux mois vous me feriez le plus grand plaisir. Vous ajoutez : Il est entendu que les 3 pastels seront terminés pour l'hiver prochain. Tout cela est bien et j'y souscris. Au revoir cher Monsieur et recevez mes remercîments. Degas "A shrewd collector Degas had assembled a remarkable collection of paintings from the Renaissance to Romanticism including Greco Ingres Courbet Delacroix etc. Of the latter of which he owned thirteen paintings it is the portrait of Baron Schwiter that is here the object of his lusts. This full-length portrait of Baron Louis de Schwiter 1805-1889 an important collector and familiar of Delacroix was painted in 1827. Refused by the jury of the Salon the same year it is now kept at the National Gallery in London which had acquired it during the dispersal of Degas' property after his passing in 1917.Provenance: Bibliothèque Bernard Loliée
