S. n. s. l. circa 1776 32 x 40.50 cm une feuille encadrée Original drawing in ink and watercolor depicting an animated seaside view with a village perched on a cliff. Modern framing in blonde molding. Drawing executed during the journey made with the Marquis de Sade during the year 1776. Jean-Baptiste Tierce 1737-1794 student at the École des Beaux-arts in Rouen then at the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris quickly distinguished himself as a landscape painter for his views of the South of France and Italy. His paintings are preserved at the Uffizi in Florence and in several French museums. When in December 1775 Sade left Rome for Naples he was welcomed by the son-in-law of his friend Doctor Mesny Jean-Baptiste Tierce who at that time was receiving commissions from Cardinal de Bernis. He found lodging for the Marquis ""who intended to see everything in the region learn about everything judge admire criticize love hate in short to give free rein to that insatiable and passionate curiosity which led him into museums galleries churches palaces and libraries as well as into grottos vaults catacombs and even into the bowels of volcanoes. He was not content to contemplate works of art ancient or modern monuments; he also observed customs politics religion administration social life. The beauty of women worldly customs the quality of entertainments ways of eating drinking dressing praying conducting oneself in society: nothing left him indifferent. He wanted to grasp all the present and all the past of this civilization to embrace it entirely in a single and universal vision. A gigantic program commensurate with his exceptional imagination but which he could no longer fulfill which was impossible for him to fulfill. Yet such was his first ambition as a writer: grandiose excessive. With this 'great work' in view Sade hastily took notes at roadsides or in inns which he supplemented with the notes of his correspondents Mesny and Iberti. Thus was built this monument which he intended for the public but which would not see the light of day until the 20thth century. Jean-Baptiste Tierce collaborated closely: he reread the notes and recorded his observations in small notebooks with numbers referring to the works described. Sade took the greatest account of them. Often the painter accompanied him on his excursions his sketchbook in hand drawing the buildings and landscapes before their eyes. About a hundred of these drawings and gouaches were recently found in the archives of the Sade family. They give the Journey to Italy the appearance of a true reportage.""

177659528s. l.: S. n. 1776. Fine. S. n. s. l. Circa 1776 40 x 50 cm une feuille encadrée Italian scene: animated seaside with square tower Original pencil drawing showing an animated seaside scene. Modern black wooden frame. A drawing done during the journey the artist undertook with Sade in 1776. Jean-Baptiste Tierce 1737-1794 who studied at the School of Fine Arts in Rouen and subsequently at the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris quickly built a reputation as a landscapist for his views of the South of France and Italy. His paintings are in the Uffizi in Florence and several French museums. When in December 1775 Sade left Rome for Naples he was welcomed by the son-in-law of his friend Dr. Mesny Jean-Baptiste Tierce who at the time was working on commissions for Cardinal de Bernis. He found lodgings for the Marquis who intends to see everything of the region learn everything judge admire critique love hate in short give himself over to the insatiable and passionate curiosity that takes him to museums galleries churches palaces and libraries as well as grottoes caves catacombs and right down to the very innards of volcanoes. He was not content merely to look at the various works of art and ancient and modern monuments; he also set out to observe the local mores politics religion administration and social life. The beauty of the women the local traditions the quality of plays table manners and the way people drank dressed prayed and made their way in the world all interested him. He wanted to take in both the present and the past of this culture to encompass it all in a unique and universal vision. A massive undertaking to match his extraordinary imagination which he was however unable to fulfil it being impossible for him to do so. This was however the nature of his central ambition as a writer: grandiose and outsized. With a view to this great work Sade took hurried notes at the side of the road or in hostelries which he then complemented with notes from his correspondents Mesny and Iberti. Thus he built up the monument he intended to put before the public but which did not end up seeing the light of day until the 20th century. Jean-Baptiste Tierce was a close collaborator: he re-read Sade's notes and gave his observations on the little notebooks with numbers referring to the works mentioned. Sade took the greatest notice of his views. Often the painter accompanied him on his rambles sketchbook in hand drawing the buildings and landscapes before them. A hundred or so of these drawings and watercolors were recently found in the Sade family archives. They give the Voyage en Italie the charm of a real travel diary. Maurice Levert Sade pp. 283-284.

192054777Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1920. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris Juin 1920 18 x 24 cm une feuille Original color print printed on vergé paper signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society Françoise Tétart-Vittu La Gazette du bon ton in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff the sister of Jean creator of Babar to set up the Gazette du bon ton subtitled at the time: Art fashion frivolities. Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: In 1910 he observed there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France. Un grand éditeur dart. Lucien Vogel in Les Nouvelles littéraires no. 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrators conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought together for the first time the great talents of the artistic literary and fashion worlds; and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of women: slender independent and daring which was shared by the new generation of designers including Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas and so on Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that little dying paper that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue.
