Description:
GARCÍA LORCA, Federico (1898-1936)
Original drawing titled " Poesia "
N.p.n.d, 1 p. in-8° on double folio, extracted from a book
Left margin slightly frayed
Touching drawing of the poet soberly titled " Poesia "


This ink drawing originally appeared in Juan Ramón Jiménez's Segunda antología poética, published in 1922. García Lorca had decorated it with two drawings, probably with the intention of offering it to one of his lovers.
The first drawing (this one) opened the chapter "Love Poems"
This work, from which emanates a great delicacy, represents a young man, as often in the drawings of the poet, and observed by a personified half-moon. The lines, which are characterized by curved lines, confirm the poet's aesthetic sense and sensitivity, his mental speed as well as his originality, intuition, hypersensitivity and creativity.
Two generations of Spanish poets:
Juan Ramón Jiménez and García Lorca met in Madrid in 1919. Federico had arrived in the Spanish capital with a letter of… Read More

Tears on folds, some spots and browning
Fascinating letter opening the last chapter of his life: his second trip to Polynesia
Gauguin evokes his settlement in Tahiti, his life of sexual and financial debauchery, his desires for painting and his family, who remained in Europe


" Mon cher Daniel
À l'heure où je reçois votre aimable lettre je n'ai pas encore touché un pinceau si ce n'est pour faire un vitrail dans mon atelier. Il m'a fallu rester à Papeete en camp volant, prendre une décision ; finalement me faire construire une grande case tahitienne dans la campagne. Par exemple c'est superbe comme exposition à l'ombre, sur le bord de la route et derrière moi une vue de la montagne épastrouillante. Figurez-vous une grande cage à moineaux grillée de bambous avec toit en chaume de cocotier, divisée en deux parties par les rideaux de mon ancien atelier. Une des deux… Read More

" Denier vœu
Voilà longtemps que je vous aime : L'aveu remonte à dix-huit ans ! – Vous êtes rose, je suis blême ; J'ai les hivers, vous les printemps.
Des lilas blancs de cimetière Prés de mes tempes ont fleuri, J'aurai bientôt la touffe entière Pour ombrager mon front flétri
Mon soleil pâli qui décline Va disparaître à l'horizon, Et sur la funèbre colline Je vois ma dernière maison.
Oh ! que de votre lèvre il tombe Sur ma lèvre un tardif baiser, Pour que je puisse dans ma tombe Le cœur tranquille, reposer !
Théophile Gautier "

Fragment of an autograph poem
N.p.n.d [Paris, prison de la Santé – 1943], 1/4 p. in4°
Slightly frayed left margin
Precious first draft fragment of a poem composed in Prison and attached to "La Parade", unpublished in its manuscript version


Canaille oserez-vous me mordre une autre fois ?
Retenez que je suis le page du Monarque.
Vous roulez sous ma main comme un flot sous ma barque.
Votre houle me gonfle, ô ma caille des bois.
ma caille emmitouflée écrasée sous mes doigts.


Genet's versified work translates into six long pieces collected in a 1948 collection soberly titled Poèmes.
By far the most composite of the poems published in the volume, and the last one that summons the prison universe, "La Parade" (whose title is also that of one of Rimbaud's most enigmatic Illuminations) is composed of eight partially autonomous pieces, almost all of which were probably written in 1943.
This fragment is composed of a rhyming quatrain embraced and a monostic. We immediately… Read More

Numerous corrections from the author
Complete manuscript for After the Assassination, in reaction to the murder of George Jackson, and the whole of which takes the form of a real indictment for the black American cause


" Hier, c'est-à-dire quand la vie de George Jackson paraissait encore possible, j'ai parlé de son livre comme meurtre et je ne me doutais pas que le meurtrier serait descendu par la police américaine. Cet assassinat de Jackson par la police américaine, quel que soit le niveau d'autorité qui l'a décidé, c'est un coup monté : il a pu parti des salons de Reagan ou d'un bureau de simples gardiens, la cible restait la même : un Nègre qui pense, qui écrit ce qu'il pense, dont le livre est l'annonce et la préparation d'une révolution noire.
[…] Les Blancs peuvent rire de sa naïveté, Jackson était en effet naïf, c'est-à-dire neuf, c'est-à-dire nouveau, c'est-à-dire dangereux.… Read More

Flaubert takes an ironic look at Baudelaire's candidacy for the Académie française


" J'ai une singulière requête à vous faire, mon cher ami.
Voici l'histoire :
J'ai reçu hier une lettre de Baudelaire m'invitant à solliciter votre voix pour sa candidature à l'Académie.
Or, comme je trouve insolent de vous donner, en cette matière, un conseil, je vous prie de lui donner votre voix, si vous ne l'avez pas déjà promise à quelqu'un.
Le candidat m'engage à vous dire " ce que vous je pense de lui ". Vous devez connaître ses œuvres. Quant à moi, certainement, si j'étais de l'honorable assemblée, j'aimerais à le voir assis entre Villemain et Nisard ! Quel beau tableau !
Faites cela ! Nommez-le ! Ce sera beau. Il paraît que Sainte-Beuve y tient.
Je ne sais rien de toutes ces choses dans mon petit trou,… Read More
