- Lucien Vogel éditeur, Paris 1912, 18x24cm, une feuille. - original prints in color, drawn on laid paper, signed upper left first and the lower right for the second. Original content produced for the illustration of The Gazette fashionable, one of the finest and most influential twentieth century fashion magazines, celebrating the talent of creators and artists French burgeoning art deco. Famous fashion magazine founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel, The Gazette fashionable appeared until 1925 with an interruption during the War of 1915 to 1920, due to mobilization of its editor. She is 69 Deliveries from just 2000 copies and is illustrated including 573 color plates and 148 sketches depicting models of fashion designers. Upon publication, these luxury publications "are for bibliophiles and worldly aesthetes" (Françoise Tétart-Vittu "good Gazette of tone" in the fashion dictionary, 2016). Printed on fine laid paper, they use a typeface created specifically for the magazine by Georges Peignot, the Cochin character, taken in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints are made with the technique of metal stencil, enhanced color and some outlined in gold or palladium. The adventure began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel, man of the world and fashion - it has already participated in Femina magazine - decided to found with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff (John's sister, the father of Babar) Gazette good tone in which the subtitle is then "Art, fashions and frivolities." Georges Charensol quotes the editor: "In 1910, he observed, there was no truly artistic fashion magazine and representative of the spirit of his time. So I thought of making a glossy magazine with truly modern artists [...] I was certain of success because for any fashion country can compete with France. "(" A great art editor. Lucien Vogel "in literary News, No. 133, May 1925). The success of the magazine is immediate, not only in France but also the US and South America. Originally, Vogel therefore brings together a group of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud, followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt; and finally his friends from the School of Fine Arts as are George Barbier, Bernard Boutet de Monvel or Charles Martin. Other talents come quickly reach the equipped Guy Arnoux, Léon Bakst, Benito, Boutet de Monvel, Umberto Brunelleschi, Chas Laborde, Jean-Gabriel Domergue, Raoul Dufy, Edward Halouze Alexander Iacovleff, Jean Emile Laboureur Charles Loupot, Charles Martin, Maggie Salcedo. These artists, mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel appealed to them, will eventually become iconic figures and artistic sought. These are the same illustrators who make the drawings advertisements Gazette. The boards highlight the dresses and sublime seven artists of the time: Lanvin, Doeuillet, Paquin, Poiret, Worth, Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provide for each number of exclusive models. Nevertheless, some of Illustrations contained no real model, but only the idea that the illustrator is done in the fashion of the day. Gazette fashionable is a milestone in the history of fashion. Combining the aesthetic requirement and plastic unit, it brings together for the first time the great talents of the world of arts, literature and fashion and imposed by this alchemy, a new image of women, slender, independent and bold, also driven by the new generation of designers Coco Chanel, Jean Patou, Rochas Marcel ... Recovery in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast, Gazette fashionable modeled for the new composition and the aesthetic choices of the "little dying newspaper" that Nast had bought a few years ago: the Vogue magazine.

- s.d. (1924), 93x78mm, autre. - Diane et Actéon aux Marquises. Noa Noa. Unique proof of the woodcut drawn and engraved after Paul Gauguin by George-Daniel de Monfreid [between 1904 & 1924] | 9,3 x 7,8 mm | one sheet Original proof, likely unique, of this intermediate state of a woodcut drawn and engraved by George-Daniel de Monfreid after two works by Paul Gauguin. Print on Japan silk, annotation by the artist in the left-hand margin. Woodcut drawn and engraved after two works, the man holding a branch being a reproduction of a watercolor on page 37 of the Noa Noa manuscript, while the full-length woman originally observed by this browser, is presented here in bust with her hand to her face, model reproduced on a woodcut engraved by Gauguin on page 4 of the manuscript (and his original sketch pasted on page 51), evoking a similar scene. The final woodcut will serve as the head of chapter IV of the first true illustrated edition of Noa Noa, published by Crès in 1924, the first illustrated work after Paul Gauguin and a majestic tribute to one of the precursors of modern art. Superb engraving synthesizing a watercolor from the original Noa Noa manuscript, inspired by the myth of Diana and Actaeon, engraved by Gauguin's closest friend and executor, the artist George-Daniel de Monfreid, heir to the album he would offer to the French State in 1927. A likely unique proof, part of 17 known test woodcuts from the early project to publish Noa Noa, all made on various fine papers and annotated by the artist. Woodcut engraved after a watercolor reinterpreting the myth of Diana, surprised in the bath by Actaeon. In the engraving, Monfreid took care to preserve the typical of deer antler shape of the branch seized by the indiscreet, which evokes its metamorphosis by the goddess. A very rare work by Gauguin mixing ancient mythology and island exoticism, whose subversive power seems entirely carried by the vahine Diana's expression of feint surprise. It is from the original illustrated manuscript of Noa Noa, brought back from Tahiti by Segalen on the artist's death in 1903, that Monfreid began producing this fundamental work from as early as 1904. This is the second version of this "to read and look at" notebook. The first manuscript, written on the return of his first voyage and entrusted by Gauguin to Charles Morice in 1893, responded to a different project. Gauguin had composed only the text, interspersed with blank pages for Morice's poems. But after several years without news, Morice preferred to publish a version entirely rewritten by himself in 1901. Gauguin, therefore, copied his manuscript and illustrated it during his second stay in Polynesia, with sketches, watercolors and collages. This album, that the artist enriched and safely preserved until his death, is preserved today at the Musée d'Orsay. It is, therefore, from this manuscript, the only one illustrated, that Monfreid composed the edition of Gauguin's Noa Noa. However, although Monfreid's publication was forward, it took more than twenty years to complete, in part due to a copyright dispute with Charles Morice who wanted to be co-author of the forthcoming edition and whose poems would eventually be preserved. The result of several years of reflection and work, the 1924 edition is both faithful to the watercolors and woodcut engravings illustrating the precious manuscript, and to the whole of Gauguin's Tahitian work, who died in indifference. Monfreid thus engraves several drawings from the original notebook and enriches it with woodcuts made from other works of which he is the custodian. Some of these compositions combine several paintings, while scrupulously respecting the artist's line, transforming the work into a true journey through the painter's works. The very choice of using wood engraving is a tribute to this technique prized by Gauguin, who, in Pont-Aven, produced 10 woodcuts to illustrate his manuscript between his two Polynesian stays.
