Dahl, Roald. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, London: Unwin Hayman Ltd., 1986, hardback, signed & inscribed by the author, 'To Stephen, with love, Roald Dahl, 1989'. Together with a loosely-inserted ticket for the premiere of Danny the Champion of the World, Odeon, West End, 27 July 1989, and Dahl's original trophy for winning the Junior Myers Fives Cup at Repton School in 1932, as described in his autobiographical book, Boy, 'Fives is possibly the fastest ball-game on earth, far faster than squash, and the little ball ricochets around the court at such speed that sometimes you can hardly see it. You need a swift eye, strong wrists and a very quick pair of hands to play fives well, and it was a game I took to right from the beginning. You may find it hard to believe, but I became so good at it that I won both the junior and the senior school fives in the same year when I was fifteen [1932]. Soon I bore the splendid title 'Captain of Fives', and I would travel with my team to other schools like Shrewsbury and Uppingham to play matches. I loved it. It was a game without physical contact, and the quickness of the eye and the dancing of the feet were all that mattered.'Provenance: Roald Dahl's former next-door neighbour. The vendor has kindly provided the following statement: 'My first recollection of Roald Dahl was in the early '60s when my grandad took me next door to Gypsy House to see the garden. The only thing I was interested in was the aviary full of bright coloured budgerigars. He was just the man next door who wrote stories. I remember one hot summer's day sitting in the garden with family when Mr Dahl burst through the back gate, "Has anyone seen my goat? I've lost her." We did laugh. There were also regular visits from his dogs. My dad worked as his gardener for several years and Mum helped in the house, ironing and sewing. If Mum was caught rushing around, Mr Dahl would say, "Anita, slow down, have a rest, make a cup of tea." They loved their time spent with him. My mum would give Mr Dahl's books to her grandchildren on their birthdays. In the summer of 1989 I had a phone call from my mum, saying Mr Dahl had asked her if she had a couple of grandchildren he could borrow for the day to see the premiere of Danny Champion of the World. My mum and my two boys aged seven and ten had a great day out. Coach trip to London, the film with all the celebrities then lunch out too. They thoroughly enjoyed it, a lasting memory. A few days later after the event my mum called again saying that Mr Dahl had given a gift to each of the boys as a thank-you for coming. The gift was his junior and senior Myers Fives Cups.'

Transcending the border between visual arts and literature, it celebrates another definition of beauty in the unexpected. Valentine Hugo was a painter, illustrator, and costume and set designer for the opera and the theatre. After her studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and a brief passage in Dadaism, she strayed from Dada's nihilistic, anti-rational ideas to devote herself entirely to Surrealism from 1925. Contrary to Dada, André Breton wrote in the first Surrealist Manifesto (1924) that art gives sense and meaning to life, and insisted on the influence of Freud, psychoanalysis, and the interpretive power of dreams which, according to Breton, were the paradigm of artistic inspiration. Trusting the freedom of imagination, the Surrealists did not explore nature but rather an inner, intimate world. Although Valentine Hugo's entourage already included some important artistic figures of the early 20th century such as Jean Cocteau, Marcel Proust, Erik Satie and Pablo Picasso, her circle widened with the Surrealists. She became close to André Breton, Nusch and Paul Éluard, René Crevel, René Char, Gala and Salvador Dalí, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Yves Tanguy, Tristan Tzara and Max Ernst, who painted a compelling portrait of her. Hugo joined the group as an artist in her own right and not as a muse: she was part of the Bureau of Surrealist Research and she was the first to draw 'exquisite corpses' on dark paper. She often took part in this collaborative artistic game, in which each participant took turns drawing on a sheet of paper before concealing their contribution and passing it to the next player. At the request of André Breton, she also participated in her first Surrealist exhibition at the Loeb Gallery in 1925. Afterwards, she was included in Surrealist exhibitions at the Pierre Colle Gallery in 1933, the Salon des Surindépendants in Paris in 1933, the Minotaure Exhibition at the Palais des Expositions in Brussels in 1934, the Gaceta de Arte de Tenerife exhibition in 1935, and the Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1936.The present work is part of a very limited body of works, painted between 1932 and 1936, when Valentine Hugo focused on large formats in oil. Hugo reportedly told André Breton that she had dreamed about Rimbaud and he had encouraged her to complete the portrait. It was painted contemporaneously to her other great masterpiece, Les Surréalistes (1932), which was photographed by Man Ray before it was damaged at the MoMA exhibition in 1936. Her portrait of the Surrealists (including André Breton, Paul Éluard, René Crevel, and Tristan Tzara) follows the same structure as Portrait d'Arthur Rimbaud, laying the composition out from the lower left corner and focusing on the faces emerging from the dark, like an apparition. Valentine Hugo never met Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), but the French poet was well-known in the 1930s and celebrated for his oneiric poetry, which seemed to dissolve dream into reality. Accordingly, he was an important influence for the Surrealists and a dazzling figure who wrote all his poetry in a span of just four years. His career ended abruptly at the age of twenty, following the breakdown of his tumultuous affair with the Symbolist poet Paul Verlaine. Both men were passionate but violent, and Rimbaud left France to travel after the breakup. He became a merchant and travelled across continents, only returning to France after falling ill. He died in hospital in Marseille at age 37, in 1891, thus ending an extraordinary life worthy of myth.In the present work, the poet's face emerges from the dark in the lower centre, below two birds that seem to emanate from his mind. One is an eagle, whose feathers blend into Rimbaud's hair and end in sharp blades. These are covered in red, green, white, and black droplets, showing Valentine Hugo's masterful draughtsmanship and her eye for detail. The other bird is white, resembling a swan, but with red feathers. The two birds intertwine in a fight, in which the eagle seems to protect Rimbaud from the sharp beak of the white bird. Five crows, which are a notorious harbinger of death in Rimbaud's poetry The Crows (Les Corbeaux) (1871), are hidden in the white bird's feathers. Nevertheless, this white bird of ill omen crowns Rimbaud with a laurel wreath, a symbolic attribute given to poets. The glory of the poet comes at a price however: one of the thorns pierces Rimbaud's forehead and causes glistening blood to drip from the wound. The blood stains his lips with red, which contributes to the poet's androgynous appearance. This could be a metaphorical allusion to Rimbaud and Verlaine's violent love affair. Verlaine had been the first to recognise Rimbaud's talent for poetry and invited him to Paris in 1871, but their story ended in blood, when Verlaine shot Rimbaud in 1873. In Portrait d'Arthur Rimbaud the poet's face floats in murky, green water populated by strange sea creatures. A flat sea urchin lies on the foreground, and another spiny sea urchin hides behind the poet's right ear. The latter opens to reveal a soft, slimy, dripping interior surrounded by tentacles. This putrefying marine environment was likely inspired by Rimbaud's most famous poem, The Drunken Boat / (Le Bateau Ivre) (1871), which describes a similar settin...
