Lithograph - douard Manet - Composition - Letters with Aquarelles
This listing features Lithograph - douard Manet - Composition - Letters with Aquarelles. Item specifics are provided below.
Item Specifics:
Paper Size: 10 x 7 inches.
Excellent condition.
Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued.
Notes: From the folio, douard Manet, Letters with Aquarelles, 1944.
Published by Pantheon Books, New York; rendered and printed by Raymond and Raymond, Inc., New York.
Excerpted from the folio, The twenty-one letters of douard Manet were reproduced in Pochoir Process by Raymond and Raymond, Inc., New York.
CCCXLV examples were printed.
Suddenly, at forty-eight, after a life of effort and struggle, douard Manet found himself under doctors' orders to quit Paris, where alone it seemed to him he could exist.
He was to rusticate quietly who detested the country.
Before leaving for Bellevue where he was to spend the summer, Manet at the close of May 1880 insisted on arranging an exhibition of his pastels in Paris.
It was held at the gallery of La Vie Moderne', a bi-monthly sponsored by the publisher Charpentier, or rather, by his wife.
A pastel portrait of Mme.
Charpentier's sister, Mile.
Lemonnier, figured in Manet's exhibition, the last of his to be arranged in his lifetime.
It would appear that though the painter had only recently made the young lady's acquaintance, she had made a deep impression on him.
For, scarcely had he arrived in the country than he began sending her the little illustrated notes which form the greater number of the twenty-one letters here reproduced.
Mlle.
Lemonnier showed herself in no particular hurry to respond.
Eager, however, to keep in touch with the world from which he was in exile, the artist refused to be discouraged and frequently met her silence with fresh sketches. The majority of the letters reproduced here are the property of the Louvre.
