Description

ROUAULT, GeorgesCirque de l'Étoile filante. Paris, AmbroiseVollard, 1938. Large folio (443 x 335 mm) of 2 ff.n.ch. (false title and title), 168 pp. 3 ff.n.ch., 17 original etchings (including the frontispiece) in colours and 82 woodcuts in the text byGeorges Rouault. Black morocco, green and red morocco mosaic boards, set with gilt lines forming stars with the central one gilt, smooth gilt and mosaic spine, green suede lining, red suede endpapers, gilt edges on witnesses (except for the head-cut), cover and spine preserved (Georges Cretté), matching folder and slipcase.Garvey, 271; Castleman, p. 88; Chapon, Rouault, 240-256 First edition, illustrated with 17 original woodcut etchings in color and 82 in-text. Limited edition of 280 copies, this one of 215 on Montval.Georges Rouault (1871-1958) tried his hand at the subject of the circus, like many of his contemporaries. Clowns, acrobats and other circus characters are often for the artist the symbol of human suffering. Le Cirque de l'étoile filante follows a first aborted project, Cirque, on which Rouault worked from 1926 to 1932, supplying his publisher, Ambroise Vollard, with more than 70 woodcuts and coloured etchings, some drawn by Georges Aubert, others by Maurice Potin. The latter's work displeased the artist to the point that he broke with him in 1932. But it was André Suarès' text that put an end to the project, the publisher judging it too polemical. There was then talk of another Circus, without Suarès' text. This new project allowed the painter and the publisher not to lose all those years of work, the woodwork having been preserved. Georges Rouault therefore embarked on the production of 17 etchings, printed by Roger Lacourière, a perfect master printer. He also wrote the text for this new work."The gaudy illusion of the circus symbolized to Rouault the grotesqueness of life. Much of the effect of his color etching is due to the master printer Roger Lacourière, who introduced the artist to the lift-ground or sugar aquatint process" (Garvey). A very fine copy.Provenance: H. Lebaudy (ex-libris).Cirque de l'Étoile filante. Paris, AmbroiseVollard, 1938. Grand in-folio (443 x 335 mm) de 2 ff.n.ch. (fauxtitre et titre), 168 pp., 3 ff.n.ch., 17 eaux-fortes originales (dont le frontispice) en couleurs et 82 gravures sur bois dans le texte parGeorges Rouault. Maroquin noir, plats mosaïqués de maroquin vert et rouge, sertis de lignes dorées formant étoiles dont celle du centre est dorée, dos lisse doré et mosaïqué, doublure de daim vert, gardes de daim rouge, tranches dorées sur témoins (sauf la coupe de tête) couverture et dos conservés (Georges Cretté), chemise et étui assortis.Garvey, 271 ; Castleman, p. 88 ; Chapon, Rouault, 240-256.Édition originale, illustrée de 17 eaux-fortes originales en couleurs hors-texte et 82 in-texte gravés sur bois. Tirage limité à 280 exemplaires, celui-ci un des 215 sur Montval.Georges Rouault (1871-1958) s'essaya au sujet du cirque, comme nombre de ces contemporains. Les clowns, les acrobates et les autres personnages du cirque sont souvent pour l'artiste, le symbole de la souffrance humaine. Le Cirque de l'étoile filante succède à un premier projet avorté, Cirque, auquel Rouault travailla de 1926 à 1932, fournissant à son éditeur, Ambroise Vollard, plus de 70 bois et eaux-fortes en couleurs, les uns tirés par Georges Aubert, les autres par Maurice Potin. Le travail de ce dernier mécontenta l'artiste au point qu'il rompit avec lui en 1932. Mais c'est le texte d'André Suarès qui mit fin au projet, l'éditeur le jugeant trop polémique. Il fut alors question d'un autre Cirque, sans le texte de Suarès. Ce nouveau projet permettait au peintre et à l'éditeur de ne pas perdre toutes ces années de travail, les bois ayant été conservés. Georges Rouault se lança donc dans la réalisation de 17 eaux-fortes, tirées par Roger Lacourière, parfait maître-imprimeur. Il écrivit également le texte de ce nouvel ouvrage.“The gaudy illusion of the circus symbolized to Rouault the grotesqueness of life. Much of the effect of his color etching is due to the master printer Roger Lacourière, who introduced the artist to the lift-ground or sugar aquatint process” (Garvey).Très bel exemplaire.Provenance : H.
