AA-CO-272<p>La Danseuse au Bouquet by the Master Impressionist Edgar Degas a beautiful illustration.

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

Dieppe 1er septembre 1885 22.40 x 17.70 cm 4 pages sur un double feuillet Unpublished autograph letter signed Dieppe 1 September 1885 22.4 x 17.7 cm one folded sheet under custom slipcase Unpublished signed autograph letter from Edgar Degas to an unknown correspondent. 4 pages in black ink on one folded sheet. Central fold inherent to the way the letter was folded.his letter is presented in a chemise and case with paper boards decorated with abstract motifs the spine of the chemise in green morocco pastedowns and endpapers of green suede slipcase signed by Thomas Boichot. 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
