A handsome unpublished letter testimony to Degas' other great passion after dance: song.he Parisian premiere of Ernest Rayer's Wagnerian opera Sigurd took place on 12 June 1885 at the Opera de Paris. Degas overcome by the performance of the singer Rose Caron saw the piece thirty-seven times: «I still love Sigurd and I like it more and more. I have never seen Reyer except once in the street. And I made a point of telling him of the admiration it provoked in me far more immediately than in someone who being neither maid nor washerwoman was worthy of some consideration.» Degas paid homage to the beauty of Rose Caron in Sigurd by doing two drawings on fans today in private hands in the US.Properly obsessed by this «admirable work that did him so much good that he could not get over» the painter asked his famous neighbor to play him the score on the piano: «The young Jacques-Emile Blanche our neighbor plays it to me every day in place of your wife.»he letter closes with a lyrical description of Mont-Saint-Michel of which Degas had made several drawings: «Have you ever seen Mont-Saint-Michel Could we go and spend a few days there together sometime It's so pretty so charming. In one month I've been twice. The big tides at the end of September will take me back once more.» Degas' passion for opera is the subject of an exhibition for the 350th birthday of the Paris Opera open from 24 September 2019 to 19 January 2020 at the Musée d'Orsay. hardcover

188966900Paris: Boussod Valadon & Cie 1889. Fine. Boussod Valadon & Cie Paris s. d. 1889 41 x 59 cm en feuilles sous portefeuille de l'éditeur First and only edition published of this remarkable set of 15 original lithographs from the post-impressionist painter George William Thornley only 100 copies printed. Publisher's portfolio bound in boards very skilfully restored. 14 of the 15 lithographs are printed in colour black blue green mauve and different browns on broadside China paper laid on pale blue thick paper one is directly printed on thick paper. All except the last bear the stamp of Thornley's signature with the words Chez Mrs Boussod & Valadon 19 Bd Montmartre and Imp. Becquet frères à Paris. In 1888 George William Thornley was commissioned to produce a series of lithographs based on the works of Degas. These lithographs go well beyond the reproduction quality of the renowned publisher. They also demonstrate the high level of collaboration between Degas and Thornley. Thornley first selected the works to publish made the necessary changes in the preparatory drawings and even interrupted the printing at times so that improvements could be made. The importance of Thornley's engravings in Degas' work is particularly highlighted by the book dedicated to Degas by JS Boggs and published by the Metropolitan Museum of New York; a publication in which we find several of the engravings presented in the collection. Chantal and Guy Heytens We have only identified two copies in libraries: one in the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the other in the Institut national d'histoire de l'art.
