193487415Paris 1934. Fine. 'Balthus's painting is topical enough to dispense with topicality' Paris 27 Avril 1934 21 x 27 cm une feuille Autograph letter dated and signed by Antonin Artaud on Le Dôme brasserie letterhead addressed to Maurice Martin du Gard founder and director of Nouvelles Littéraires. 29 lines in blue ink in a nervous handwriting. Traces of folds and small marginal tears inherent to postal dispatch and handling. Minor stains at the beginning of the letter. Antonin Artaud fought to have his article on Balthus's painting exhibited for the first time in France published. He fiercely defended the artist he considered his 'double' so similar were they physically and intellectually. During Balthus's first gallery exhibition in 1934 his depictions of pubescent young women veering towards voyeuristic dreamscapes scandalised the Parisian public. Artaud recognised himself in the strange atmosphere of Balthus's paintings and was among the first writers to acknowledge the importance of his work. The two men had met by chance at the Café de Flore two years earlier. ""A strange bond united them Balthus believed especially as he owed it to him to be still alive. In July 34 the poet narrowly saved the painter who was suffering from intense depression from suicide. 'Curiously he rushed into my studio that day just as I was at my worst. He immediately understood perhaps because he himself had taken many drugs in his life.' Zoé Balthus quoting Balthus"". A few months before this crisis Artaud sought to reclaim the manuscript he had written for his friend's first solo exhibition at La Galerie Pierre which opened on April 13 1934 at 6 Rue des Beaux-Arts Paris. The author of Héliogabale ou l'anarchiste couronné published the same year was surprised and a little annoyed at the lack of interest shown by the magazine: « Je vous ai adressé il y a quinze jours un article sur l'exposition Balthus dont tout le monde parle. Il me semblait que les Nouvelles littéraires se devaient d'en parler. » ""A fortnight ago I sent you an article on the Balthus exhibition that everyone is talking about. It seemed to me that Les Nouvelles Littéraires was obliged to address it."" His poetic and enigmatic prose repeatedly extolled the virtues of Balthus his alter ego who also rejected the dogmas of Surrealism. The editors of Nouvelles Littéraires even seemed to neglect Balthus's work which irritated him to no end: « Bien que les manuscrits non insérés ne soient pas rendus on me rend toujours mes manuscrits et en général après les avoir publiés. » ""Although unpublished manuscripts are not usually returned mine are always sent back to me and usually after they have been published."" He insisted on retrieving his manuscript and railed against the silence of the magazine regarding the work of the great painter: « Je vous serai donc reconnaissant de me dire ce que vous comptez en faire car la peinture de Balthus est d'une actualité suffisante pour se passer de l'actualité. Un article sur lui peut donc paraître en tout temps. Si vous pensiez ne pas devoir le publier je vous demande de vouloir bien me le renvoyer. » ""I would be grateful if you could tell me what you intend to do with it because Balthus's painting is topical enough not to need to be in the news. An article about him can therefore be published at any time. If you think you should not publish it please send it back to me."" This article is likely the one Artaud eventually published in the Mexican newspaper El Nacional two years later once again celebrating his friend's painting. A handwritten letter from the fiery and irascible Antonin Artaud defender and champion of Balthus's art. unknown

ST16342New York: Limited Editions Club 1993. No. 15 OF 300 COPIES SIGNED by the artist. 420 x 315 mm. 16 1/2 x 12 1/2". 3 p.l. 208 pp. 2 leaves.With an afterword by Balthus. <br/> Publisher's sage-green crushed morocco upper board with title stamped in brown smooth spine. In the original linen clamshell box. With 15 lithographs by Balthus. Colophon with small embossed armorial stamp. Prospectus laid in at front. ◆In mint condition.<br/> <br/> Printed on beautifully thick paper this impressive oversized production brings together an intense 19th century gothic novel and the work of a major modern artist both inspired by the power and rugged beauty of the Yorkshire moors. "Wuthering Heights" was first published in 1847 under the pen name Ellis Bell and it was to be Emily Brontë's first and only novel. Though many contemporary reviewers found the story strange and disturbing her potent language and enthralling characters have secured it a place among the classics of English literature. The modern and sometimes controversial artist Balthasar Klossowski de Rola known as Balthus wouldn't seem a likely choice to illustrate this work; in fact the two could hardly be more different. Brontë 1818-48 was a parson's daughter who spent most of her life in an isolated village in northern England while Balthus 1908-2001 was a famous cosmopolitan painter whose friends included Pablo Picasso and Albert Camus. But the pair had at least one thing in common: a deeply felt connection to the Yorkshire moors. In Bathus' own words recounting a visit to northern England made when he was a young man "the wild beauty of the moors around Haworth . . . left an indelible impression on me." Years later in 1933 still inspired by what he had seen Balthus made a series of 15 drawings to accompany the novel that is practically synonymous with the moors. Compelling moody and a little wild these drawings are a formidable complement to Brontë's words. The LEC Newsletter introducing the present work notes the "incisive linear quality" of the black & white drawings; Balthus' biographer and critic Jean Leymarie is also quoted describing the work as "lit up with something of the book's flame and storm-flashes." It is also worth noting that this impressive production marks the first time these 15 illustrations appear alongside the text that inspired them--60 years after Balthus completed them.
