Pierre Molinier (1900-1976)PIERRE MOLINIER (1900-1976) – JOSEPH-MARIE LO DUCA (1910-2004) Correspondance de Molinier à Lo Duca - 6 mars 1959. Lettre manuscrite à l'encre de Chine.Lettre capitale où Molinier définit sa position à part dans le surréalisme, son credo, son art poétique :'Je ne crois pas dépasser tous les peintres surréalistes mais être très différent d'eux. Me traiter de surréaliste est bien risqué et je comprends votre embarras.Tanguy était essentiellement surréaliste. Un surréaliste qui, sans être peintre, s'exprimait avec de la peinture et son message sans grande discussion passait à travers lui (phénomène médiumnique). Pour ma part, le message passe à travers moi, je suis peintre et ma vie intime, mon univers le modifient à un point tel qu'il devient 'moi', l'empreinte est indélébile. La peinture, le moulage, la photographie, tous les moyens me sont bons, mais quelles sont les fins ? La magie, sans doute. ... Je ne me reconnais pas la qualité essentielle de surréaliste puisque magicien ... André Breton, tout en admettant des affinités l'a bien compris, il le laisse entendre par sa dédicace « A PM, qui peut être seul aujourd'hui, a notion de ce que pourrait être, au vrai sens du terme, l'Art Magique et sait ce qu'il est nécessaire d'y engager... La magie est opérative et il semble en effet que le surréalisme serait spéculatif. »- décembre 1960. Lettre manuscrite et 3 tirages argentiques d'époque dont 2 photomontages. Hermaphrodite homme ; Hermaphrodite femme ; Déshabillé en bas des seins très aguichant.En exergue en haut de la page : 'L'Amour est la plus tragique des illusions. L'Érotisme est sa réalité.'Molinier remercie Lo Duca de ses deux magnifiques volumes sur l'érotisme et s'excuse d'avoir tardé à l'en remercier : 'J'ai des circonstances atténuantes, vous n'êtes pas sans ignorer mes ennuis, jugement pour le fameux coup de pistolet (en direction de son épouse), divorce, enfin toutes sortes d'emmerdements'. (seuls 3 des 5 tirages annoncés ont été conservés) - 30 novembre 1966. Lettre manuscrite, 2 pages.'Je suis heureux de ce que votre lettre m'annonce. Je pense que personne d'autre que vous ne saurait exprimer par l'écriture, dans cette manière qui vous ait particulière, je veux dire percutante, ce que l'ambiguïté de mes peintures peut susciter de problèmes. Il y a surtout le CHAMANIQUE sur lequel on peut développer ce qui a rapport avec le phénomène de l'androgyne ... La maquette est terminée'.- 30 septembre 1967. Lettre manuscrite.'J'attends toujours la préface que vous deviez faire pour mon livre – ouvrage qui est à même d'être édité chez J.J. Pauvert.' ... Le texte pourra paraître dans 'une seconde édition (de luxe) qui serait illustrée (en plus de mon œuvre peinte) par des photographies et surtout des photomontages' (allusion au futur 'Chaman et ses créatures' qui ne paraîtra qu'après la mort de Molinier).

Les tirages annoncés n'ont pas été conservés.- Correspondance d'Emmanuelle Arsan à Lo Duca de Rome, 30 juillet 1974. Lettre dactylographiée signée Emmanuelle Arsan. Le ton n'est pas commode. Elle évoque l'édition d''Emmanuelle' avec Tchou : 'J'espère que les passages 'exaltés' dont vous faites mention ne signifient pas que le texte de mon livre a été modifié ?' Si Losfeld 'avait abusé de votre bonne foi (celle de Lo Duca) les 'poursuites seraient immédiates'. Elle recommande de se rapprocher de son agent littéraire à Paris Aurelio Luca Staletti. - Correspondance d'Emmanuelle Arsan à Lo Duca de Rome, 10 août 1974.

Copie de la lettre adressée à l'éditeur japonais de Tokyo auquel il offre tous les documents qu'il lui envoie (photomontages, lithographies, gravures).
