COCTEAU JEAN: (1889-1963) French poet, playwright, novelist, artist, filmmaker and critic. A remarkable autograph manuscript signed, Jean Cocteau, seven pages (rectos only), 4to, Paris, March 1922, in French. Cocteau’s manuscript is entitled Marie Laurencin, and represents a glowing appreciation of the French painter, commencing with a beautiful description of how Cocteau imagines her features would be recorded in her passport, noting her hair, black eyes, and pearl grey complexion, as well as several special features. ‘chevaux, colombes. eventails, plumes d'autruches…..yeux myopes’ (Translation: ‘horses, doves, fans, ostrich feathers….myopic eyes’, continuing ‘Mais elle ne veut pas qu'on dise qu'elle est myope. Elle trouve la myopie honteuse et le face a main la gene comme une bequille d'infirme. Pourtant il faudrait parler de ce nuage qui met les distances entre sa personne et le reste du monde, qui fait d'elle un aveugle et un caniche. Mais jamais on n'avait vu un aussi joli aveugle dirige par un caniche aussi savant’ (Translation: ‘But she doesn’t want people to say she’s short-sighted. She finds myopia shameful and face-to-hand discomfort like a cripple’s crutch. Yet we should talk about this cloud which puts distances between her person and the rest of the world, which makes her blind and a poodle. But we had never seen such a pretty blind man led by such a knowledgeable poodle’). Cocteau follows with a sestet –Une etoile d'amour, Une etoile d'ivresse, Les amants, les maitresses, Aiment la nuit et le jour, Un poete m'a dit qu'il etait une etoile, Ou l'on aime toujours.  And compares the stars to a calligram by Guillaume Apollinaire, ‘Sans doute il est trop tard pour parler encore d'elle serions nous tentes de dire, apris l'image que nous en donnent les poetes avec lesquels notre ame a toujours vecu. Jamais trop tard, il est vrai la douce lumiere Laurencin, si elle brille pour les uns est encore en route vers les autres’ Cocteau then writes of Laurencin’s paintings. ‘Un tableau de Marie Laurencin regarde, ecoute, comme les chevreuils. Si une personne qui n'aime pas les betes s'approche, si un chasseur e'paule son arme, le tableau disparait. Nous avons la joie d'etre de ceux qui les caressent. Car Marie Laurencin aime les poetes. Elle n'aime que les poetes. Et moi qui l'ai connue bien apres Salmon, Apollinaire, Fleuret, Moreas. j'ai eu la surprise d'un homme du nord qui verrait une rose, en chair et en os, apres avoir entendu parler d'elle dans Ronsard et dans les catalogues de fleurs. Il serait donc ridicule de vous apprendre que Marie Laurencin porte un nom delicieux qui rime avec sein, dessin, coussin, clavecin, assassin; qu'elle fait penser a Watteau, a Goya, aux liaisons dangereuses, aux livres de Madame de Segur et aux fables de la Fontaine, que licornes lechent son eventail qui ne montre que des yeux comme un volet espagnol, que ses couleurs favorites sont le bleu le gris et le rose, que sa peinture n'est pas de la peinture litteraire mais de la peinture de grand peintre et de grand poete, qu'il ne faut pas confondre avec la peinture poetique. Du reste, Marie Laurencin est un poete. Ecoutez plutot: Roi d'Espagne prenez votre manteau, Et un couteau, Au jardin zoologique, Il ya a un tigre paralytique, mais royal, et le regarder fait mal. Vous retrouverez dans cette petite piece ecrite pendant la guerre a Madrid, l'intonation d'une aristocrate’ (Translation: ‘A painting by Marie Laurencin looks, listens, like deer. If a person who does not like animals approaches, if a hunter shoulders his weapon, the picture disappears. We have the joy of being among those who caress them. Because Marie Laurencin loves poets. She only likes poets. And I know her well after Salmon, Apollinaire, Fleuret, Moreas. I had the surprise of a man from the north who would see a rose, in the flesh, after having heard about it in Ronsard and in flower catalogues. It would therefore be ridiculous to tell you that Marie Laurencin has a delicious name that rhymes with sein, dessin, coussin, clavecin, assassin; that she makes us think of Watteau, of Goya, of dangerous liaisons, of the books of Madame de Segur and the fables of La Fontaine, that unicorns lick her fan which only shows eyes like a Spanish shutter, that her favourite colours are the blue, grey and pink, that her painting is not literary painting, but the painting of a great painter and a great poet, which should not be confused with poetic painting. Besides, Marie Laurencin is a poet. Listen instead: King of Spain take your coat, and a knife. In the zoological garden, there is a paralytic tiger, but royal, and looking at it hurts. You will find in this little piece written during the war in Madrid, the intonation of an aristocrat’). Cocteau also makes reference to the paintings of Picasso, ‘La toile, en apparence, la plus hautaine de Picasso met en branle nos curiosites. Nous cherchons quels objets la motivent. Nous y entrons. Nous collaborons. Peu a peu son univers commande. Nous admettons qu'il reorganise la notre. Alors, devenus familiers de son oeuvre, nous ne sommes plus timides. Mais ici nous voila genes comme par l'ooeil d'un chien qui nous regarde, comme par une conversation avec un enfant ou avec une reine. Le privilige qui nous vaut de ne pas mettre l'animal en fuite, de ne pas faire crier l'enfant, d'etre admis en presence auguste, ne brise pas la glace. Peut-etre que tous ces personnages de conte de fees n'attendent qu'un geste irrespectueux pour sortir du charme. Ils peuvent attendre: nul ne l'ose’ Cocteau concludes by recounting the circumstances when Laurencin painted his portrait, ‘Maintenant, je vais vous raconter comment Marie Laurencin peignait mon portrait......C'est le genre des oiseaux qui nidifient. De temps en temps ils transportent une brindille. Marie Laurencin chante. Elle se leve. Elle me montre un exercice de gymnastique. Elle tourne dans la chambre. Elle cherche de l'essence. Elle ne trouve pas ses tubes…..elle essaye une robe, elle ecrit une lettre et l'attache du cou d'un pigeon voyageur. Elle cherche un numero de telephone…….Le nid est fait. Le tour est joue. Ou se trouve en presence d'une oeuvre forte, grave, d'un equilibre et d'une poesie deconcertants’  The manuscript is loosely bound in the original paper wrappers, with Cocteau’s title to the front, ‘Marie Laurencin par Jean Cocteau’, also adding a small drawing of a pink heart beneath his name. Also included within the manuscript are two frontispiece illustrations, the first an oval monochrome photograph by Man Ray of Marie Laurencin’s 1921 portrait of Cocteau, the silver gelatin print measuring 19.5 x 16 cm, and the second a charming self-portrait by Laurencin, executed in pencil and showing her in a pensive head and shoulders pose, with a pink scarf and matching lipstick. Signed (‘Marie Laurencin’) in pencil at the foot of the portrait and dated 1923 in her hand. A wonderful manuscript, enhanced by Laurencin’s self-portrait and Man Ray’s photograph.

GOYA FRANCISCO JOSE DE: (1746-1828) Spanish Painter. Goya is considered the most important Spanish Painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and is regarded as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. A precursor of the Expressionism. His masterpiece portrayal of a naked woman, La Maja Desnuda ("The Naked Maja"), now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, was a remarkably daring nude for the time, renowned for the unashamed gaze of the model towards the viewer without negative connotations. An exceptionally rare L.S., `Fran[cis]co de Goya´, three pages, 4to, Bordeaux, 30th November 1824, to the Duchess of San Fernando, in Spanish. Goya apologies for his hasty departure from Paris preventing him from saying goodbye to her himself, stating in part `Cuando salí de Paris para venir a esta [ciudad], dispuse atropelladamente mi viaje; el tiempo urgía, me hallaba sin dinero, y admití la oferta de unos amigos que me anticiparon los gastos del camino…´ (Translation: `When I left Paris to come to this [city], I hastily organized my trip; time was urgent, I was without money, and I accepted the offer of some friends who anticipated the expenses of the trip…") Goya is still not sure about his near future and explains that his has requested to the King of Spain an extension of his permission to leave his court painter obligations, saying `Aqui estoy, sin saber lo que debo hacer de mi. He pedido una prórroga, siquiera para poder pasar el invierno al calor de la chimenea, y no se si S[u] M[ajestad] tendrá a bien de concedérmela…´ (Translation: "Here I am, not knowing what I should make of myself. I have asked for an extension, at least that I can spend the winter in the warmth before a fireplace, and I don't know if H[is] M[ajesty] will be good enough to grant it to me…") Further again, Goya explains in full detail what the present he has sent to his correspondent is, being some drafts, drawings and figurines of three dwarfs, stating in part `Me tomo la libertad de remitir a V.E. esos tres comisionados, a quienes doy el encargo especial de asegurarla cuan agradecido estoy a la memoria que conserva de mi, y cuanto deseo complacerla y servirla. Son tres enanos que se presentaron en la feria de Burdeos dos meses hace, y me pareció conveniente sacar un tanteo de sus caras y sus figurillas. El de los pantaloncitos tiene 18 pulgadas, de los otros dos (que son marido y mujer) ella tiene 21 pulgadas y el esposo 20. Celebraré que cumplan su comisión, según los deseos del invalido que los envia´ (Translation: `I take the liberty of sending to Y.E. those three commissioners [referring to his three dwarfs figurines], to whom I give the special charge of assuring you how grateful I am to the memory you keep of me, and how much I wish to please and serve you. They are three dwarfs who appeared at the Bordeaux fair two months ago, and I thought it convenient to make a test of their faces and their figurines. The one with the short trousers is 18 inches, and the other two (who are husband and wife) she is 21 inches and the husband is 20. I will celebrate that they fulfil their commission, according to the wishes of the invalid who sends them" [Goya refers here to himself]) Goya has a lengthy list of important portraits paintings of dwarfs. An exceptional document, with very interesting content related to Goya´s last years, short after his arrival to France, and referring to his work on three dwarves he met at a fair in Bordeaux. A letter in very fine condition. VG Goya became a court painter to the Spanish Crown in 1786 and this early part of his career is marked by portraits of the Spanish aristocracy. In 1793 an illness left him deaf, after which his work became progressively darker. In 1799 Goya became the First Court Painter, the highest rank for a Spanish court Painter, under King Charles IV of Spain. During the Peninsular War and Napoleon´s invasion of Spain, Goya remained in Madrid, and his series of paintings Disasters of War, or his painting The Second of May 1808, show how much this war affected him deeply, fearing for his country´s fate. He also painted important portraits of the Royal Spanish family and of Lord Wellington.His late period is marked by the Black Paintings, on the plaster walls of his own house "La Quinta del Sordo" ("The House of the Deaf Man") where disillusioned by political and religious corruption, and by social developments in Spain, he lived near isolation. He also painted dwarves, and persons with insanity or in mental asylums, as well as themes related with witches and fantastical creatures. Goya abandoned Spain in 1824, the year of the present letter, to retire to the French city of Bordeaux from where the present letter is written. He was accompanied by his maid and companion Leocadia Weiss, 42 years younger than him, although it remains unclear if she was or not his lover.It was at that time and in Bordeaux where Goya completed his well-known series of paintings La Tauromaquia, depicting bullfighting scenes. Goya died and was buried in Bordeaux, but was later re-interred in the Royal Hermitage of San Antonio de la Florida in Madrid. Famously, the skull was missing, and the Spanish consul to Bordeaux reported so to his superiors in Madrid, who wired back "Send Goya, with or without head". The present letter is most probably in the hand of Leandro Fernández de Moratín (1760-1828) Spanish Dramatist, Poet, and translator of works of Moliere and Shakespeare into Spanish. Goya made his friend´s portrait in his late years in Bordeaux. Fernandez de Moratin lived his late years in exile in France and died in Paris only two months after Goya passed away in Bordeaux. The present letter is written to Maria Luisa of Bourbon and Villabriga (1783-1846) Duchess of San Fernando de Quiroga. She was directly related to several Kings of Spain, being the grand-daughter of Philip V, the niece of Charles III, and cousin of Charles IV. Maria Luisa and her husband, first duke of San Fernando, went into exile in 1823 to Paris.

Property of a Gentleman Pierre Gobert (1662 - 1744) A portrait of the Duchess of Burgundy  Oil on canvas  Gobert's artistic journey began under his sculptor father, and by age 20 in 1682, he worked as a court portraitist. He quickly gained recognition, becoming a candidate member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1701, followed by full membership. In 1704, he displayed seventeen portraits at the Salon, including those of royal family members. Gobert temporarily moved to Lunéville from 1707 to 1709 to paint Léopold, duc de Lorraine (1679–1721), and Élizabeth Charlotte d'Orléans (1676–1744). His focus was often aristocratic women, and he resurfaced at the 1737 Salon before gradually fading from the art scene. Marie Adélaïde, born in 1685, was the daughter of Vittorio Amedeo II (1666–1732) of Savoy and Anne Marie d'Orléans (1669–1728), Louis XIV's (1638–1715) niece.

BAKUNIN, Michael (Mikhail Bakunin). 'God and The State,' Original printed wraps, staple bound, front and rear wrap loose, frontis portrait, ex libris label Philip E. R. Berry, toning throughout as expected, pp.86, advertisements to the rear, Mother Earth Publishing Association, New York, [1916].An interesting work, incorrectly stated on the title page as 'First American edition'. It was actually first published in America by Benjamin Tucker in 1883. This essay, written in 1871, by the Russian revolutionary anarchist, is Bakunin's vehement opposition to any form of hierarchical power and his call for the complete liberation of individuals from all forms of oppression. He argues that the state and organized religion are oppressive institutions that limit individual freedom and autonomy. He advocates for the abolition of both, viewing them as instruments of control that serve the interests of a privileged few. An incendiary work, published in 1916 New York.
