192150451<p>First edition of the first book illustrated by BALTHUS aged 11 and of the first book written in French by RILKE large in-8 in sheets. In 1919 RILKE met Baladine KLOSSOWSKA and her two sons Pierre and Balthus in Geneva. He was so struck by the drawings made by the latter that he decided to have them published with an accompanying text. This mythical book has become very difficult to find. This copy comes from the printer's reserves and comes in sheets unfortunately with the lack of the 6th of the 40 illustrations by BALTHUS.</p>

3067Paris: Editions Librairie Seguier 1988. First collected edition of Messiaen's detailed accounts of each of Mozart's piano concertos which had appeared individually in concert programs. Olivier Messiaen 1908-1992 was the pre-eminent French composer of the second half of the 20th century. From a total edition of 100 numbered copies this is ONE OF ONLY 50 COPIES WITH A LOOSE COLOR LITHOGRAPH BY BALTHUS. The lithograph in soft colors depicts a bay with a smoking volcano in the background. Balthus Balthazar Klossowski de Rola 1908-2001 was one of the great French artists of the 20th century. In theory the book is supposed to be signed by Messiaen and the lithograph by Balthus but in fact neither is signed. The publication of this book was carried out in the most chaotic possible way: Messiaen ended up signing only presentation copies and Balthus ended up signing only a few impressions of the lithograph. Large folio 56 x 38.5 cm. Loose as issued in printed wraps and publisher's cloth portfolio/clamshell box. FINE AND BRIGHT with no defects. <br/><br/> Paris: Editions Librairie Seguier, 1988 paperback
