Lucile Haefflinger Leg Study 1, 2025 Oil paint, oil pastel, and charcoal on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I grew up in the dirt and the leaves, caring for the smallest speck on the floor. And today, I still do the very same. I want to reveal the small and the unseen through my work.

OLMEC STONE MASK MEXICO, 900 - 400 B.C. carved and polished green serpentine, the distinctive features displaying a subtly downturned mouth, broad nose and narrowed eyes framed by a frowning brow, the ears pierced, raised on a bespoke mount 20cm high Private collection, United Kingdom, acquired from the belowAcquired in Southern Mexico in the 1950's, thence by descent The Olmec civilization, which thrived in the Gulf Coast region of Mexico from approximately 1400 - 400 BC, is renowned for its remarkable artistic achievements, among which serpentine masks such as the present example are particularly noteworthy. Crafted from the distinctive deep green stone, they were characterised by intricate carvings that depicted human visages with exaggerated features, such as downturned mouths, almond-shaped eyes, and broad noses. The masks also incorporated serpentine imagery in the form of coiled snakes or serpent-like figures that surrounded the faces or extended from the top of the masks. It is believed that serpentine masks were utilised in ceremonial and ritual contexts, likely in conjunction with funerary practices or religious festivals, and were probably worn by priests or other elite members of society during these events. The masks also held symbolic value as status symbols, owing to their valuable materials and the skilled craftsmanship required to create them.The Olmec civilization has had a profound impact on the development of modern art, particularly during the early 20th century, when Western artists rediscovered the art of ancient cultures, including that of the Olmec. This renewed interest in Olmec art influenced the emergence of modernist art movements such as Cubism and Surrealism. Olmec sculptures' stylised, geometric forms, such as the iconic "colossal heads," served as sources of inspiration for artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore, while the Olmec's use of negative space and abstraction was influential in the development of modernist sculpture. In addition, the Olmec's fascination with the natural world, particularly the serpent, inspired Surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali and Max Ernst, who integrated serpent imagery into their works. The Olmec's use of jade and other precious materials also influenced modernist jewellery and decorative arts. Today, the Olmec's legacy remains a significant source of inspiration for contemporary artists who continue to draw on its bold forms and use of negative space.

He explored a diverse range of activities, however, before returning to painting from 1949 to 1953 he earned his living by making jewellery and in 1947 he worked as a jazz musician, an activity he continued in later life. He wrote poetry during the early 1940s. From 1953 to 1956 Davie taught in London at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where he became interested in African and Pacific art. As early as 1958 Davie emphasised the importance in his work of intuition, as expressed in the form of enigmatic signs. During the 1960s, both in paintings and in coloured lithographs, he represented such images with increasing clarity at the expense of gestural handling. In 1971 he made his first visit to the island of St Lucia, where he began to spend half of each year and which brought Caribbean influences to bear on his suggestive imagery, as in Bird Gong No. 10, Opus 730 (1973; London, Brit. Council). Taking on the role of a disinherited shaman, Davie created a synthesis of mythologies from a variety of cultures for a modern civilisation devoid of its own village myths.

* JANKEL ADLER (POLISH 1895 - 1949), FIGURE (OPUS 104) watercolour on paper, signed, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 48cm x 35cm, overall size 67cm x 53cm Labels verso: Gimpel Fils, London.Note: Polish painter. He was born at Tuszyn, near Łódź, and studied in Germany at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barmen (now part of Wuppertal), 1913–14. In about 1922 he settled in Düsseldorf, where he became a friend of Paul Klee and painted several murals, including frescos for the Planetarium. He left Germany in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism and travelled widely in the next few years, living mainly in Paris, where he worked with Hayter at Atelier 17. On the outbreak of war he joined the Polish army in France and in 1940 was evacuated to Britain, where he lived for the rest of his life, first in Scotland and then from 1943 in London. Adler was primarily a figure painter, best known for his portrayals of Jewish life in Poland (as a youth he had considered becoming a rabbi). His style in his mature work was eclectic and expressionistic, influenced by Klee and Picasso. In turn his cosmopolitanism was a stimulus against wartime isolation for several young British artists, notably Colquhoun and MacBryde (in the mid-1940s Adler shared a house with them in Bedford Gardens, London).

PICASSO PABLO: (1881-1973) Spanish painter, a co-founder of the Cubist movement. A good illustrated A.L.S., Picasso, one page, 4to, Cannes, 17th January 1956, to Max [Pellequer], in French. Picasso writes a brief letter, in full, ´Oui mon cher Max, je les ai recues et 100,000 et plus de fois merci´ (Translation: ´Yes, my dear Max, I've received them 100,000 times over, thank you´). Above his message of three lines Picasso has added an original blue ink drawing in his hand, which dominates the page, and depicts a bottle of wine standing alongside a glass. A simple yet highly appealing illustrated letter on a theme which recurred in many of Picasso´s artworks during his career. Some light, minor creasing and a few small tears to the edges, not affecting the text or illustration. About VGMax Pellequer (1903-1973) French banker and art collector who would become Picasso´s private banker, financial adviser and close friend. Pellequer assembled an important collection of artworks in the 1920s and 1930s which included a number of significant early pieces by Picasso, as well as works by Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and others. Almost two hundred letters from Pellequer to Picasso are preserved in the Musee National Picasso in Paris.´Picasso permanently relocated to Paris in 1904. He spent the remainder of his life and artistic career living in France……Alcohol was an important facet of French artists’ social scene and of their art. Bars, cafes, and other drinking establishments often served as meeting places and hangouts for artists of the generations immediately preceding Picasso, and it is no surprise that they frequently took these places and their wares as subjects for their works……..Picasso, like other artists living in France at the time, was the inheritor of the cultural ripples of alcohol, as well as of the visual themes it inspired….[Picasso´s]…….1896 painting The First Communion, depicts a young woman about to receive her first communion……[this, and other]……works do not prominently feature alcohol per se, although they do reveal an important facet of Picasso’s relationship with wine: wine not only as a religious sacrament, but also as marker of identity……..For Catholic Picasso, wine was not simply a tool for worship, but must also have been a sort of divine vessel, which, through God, became something new and holy. The doctrine of transubstantiation, by which Eucharist wine becomes the blood of Christ, was and remains a defining feature of Catholicism. These works also lay a foundation for Picasso’s later exploration of wine in the very different context of ancient Greco-Roman religion……The Minotaur’s Repose: Champagne and Mistress depict a minotaur and a nude woman reclining on a couch; the minotaur looks over his shoulder towards the viewer, raising the glass of wine in his hand…….The Dionysiac characters of satyrs and maenads (depicted in Picasso’s Bacchanale) also embody the intoxicating effects of alcohol which distance drinkers from the rational mind and, in Greek myth, their humanity…….This is a very different relationship to wine than the Catholic imagery of Picasso’s earlier career evokes, but both imply significance and even a form of reverence. In Picasso’s works, wine can be both transformed and transformative´ (extracts from Picasso: Wine and Art at La Cité du Vin by Paige Crawley, 2022)

Lot 1033

RAY MAN: (1890-1976) American visual artist, a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements and a renowned pioneering fashion and portrait photographer. The original typescript manuscript of Man Ray´s autobiography Self-Portrait, with numerous manuscript corrections and substantial alternate readings, with accompanying carbon copies of many chapters (also with manuscript corrections), together with a series of autograph and typescript working notes, and further including a few pieces of correspondence between Man Ray and his publishers, The Atlantic Monthly Press. The manuscript, typed by Man Ray himself (the final page bearing the manuscript note ´Typed by Man Ray´) in Paris from 1960-62, is loosely contained in a number of paper folders, each annotated and titled by the artist (designated as a First Draft or First Copy), which include Part I New York (originally The Painter) comprising over eighty pages of typescript manuscript, in a paper folder (extensive and heavy tears to the edges) with manuscript title Self Portrait by Man Ray (first draft) and further marked Part I New York (p. 1-81) at the head. With a second copy of the same, retitled New York, and also including an additional eight pages, originally a continuation of The Painter, but later marked as the beginning of Part II: Paris; nine pages of typescript manuscript in a paper folder annotated by Man Ray 1st Chapter in Part II pp.82-89; sixteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled Paul Poiret - The Portrait that was Never Made and marked as pp. 90-106; thirteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled The True Story of Kiki of Montparnasse; fifteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled Contacts with the Aristocracy and marked as pp. 120-134; and other typescript manuscripts for chapters entitled American & English Writers; Painters & Sculptors; Dada Films & Surrealism; The Depressing Thirties (later altered to The Fateful Thirties and finally retitled as Occupations & Evasions) representing the final chapter of Part II; thirty-two pages of typescript manuscript entitled I Discover Hollywood (Part III) followed by the final chapter, Paris Again (Part IV). In all the typescript manuscript and related carbon copies (some on onion skin paper) amounts to around seven hundred 4to pages, typed to the rectos only, much of the manuscript dedicated to Man Ray´s time in Paris and populated with numerous recollections relating to the Dada and Surrealist movements, as well as his friends and contemporaries including Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Kiki de Montparnasse (Alice Prin), Lee Miller, Gertrude Stein, Salvador Dali, James Joyce, Tristan Tzara, Paul Eluard, Andre Breton and may others. Also included is an earlier folio typescript manuscript, with holograph corrections, of twenty-eight pages, entitled Paul Poiret (1922), written by Man Ray in Hollywood, California, and dated 15th February 1949 (annotated to the verso of the final page to be rewritten (done Oct. 21-61) see Self-Portait, 1963). Together with Man Ray´s manuscript working notes comprising around forty pages (mainly 8vo) and covering a wide spectrum of individuals and subjects including Pablo Picasso, Dora Maar (´Dora gives up photography for painting, contrary to a book in which a painter, upon seeing Picasso, gives up painting for photography´), Marcel Duchamp (´my oldest friend´) and others, also making more general observations, ´I must keep in mind that I am doing a self portrait, therefore all references to my contemporaries should not be taken as criticism or evaluation of them, but as a clearer portrayal of myself…..After recounting these experiences, controversies, I hope my friends will revise their opinion of me – that I have been too modest – not pushed myself forward enough. Rather it has been the hopelessness of convincing the doubtful ones of the equal value of all efforts – or their futility´, and in a passage headed Ending stating ´If I have spoken at greatest length about those the least known by the majority, it complements my self portrait. At Picasso´s one day a visitor lauded him fervently saying he was the best known living painter – and what did I do, he asked? Evidently I was the best unknown living painter´. Other miscellaneous pages of typescript include an initial summary of Man Ray´s autobiography, in part, ´Following is a table of contents for an autobiography of twenty years in Paris; with some specimen pages on my arrival from New York. Also a chapter on my meeting with Paul Poiret, the famous couturier, in which is depicted his gradual decadence, and the author´s own frustration as a photographer. Each chapter may run from fifteen to thirty pages, which would make about a four hundred page book. There are many other names of personalities that may be included, not mentioned in the table of contents, without unduly prolonging the book, unless other episodes were added, which could easily run the book to seven or eight hundred pages. The use of photographs made in this period is optional. I have all my files and they contain many portraits of the people mentioned. If about twenty were used, it would liven up considerably the book….The photographs are to be regarded as documents, not as reproductions of works of art´, a brief text entitled Originals, Graphics, Multiples, and another entitled Dadamade, dated 8th July 1958. The few pieces of correspondence include a T.L.S., Man Ray, two pages (separate leaves), 4to, Paris, 19th July 1962, to Seymour Lawrence. Man Ray states that he has taken note of his correspondent´s letter ´and modified or deleted passages (in red ink on my copy of the manuscript) enclosing the pages involved [still present]´, explaining ´I have tried to eliminate all references to extra-marital relations as regards Donna [his first wife] and myself, Clem Randolph and Mary Reynolds. The latter is dead; I have lost track of the others including Loupov – do not know whether they are still alive. The names Donna and Loupov are modifications of the actual names: Adon Lacroix and Adolf Wolff´ and further remarking ´I do not know how to treat Donna´s defection and our separation unless I eliminate the whole episode, the most dramatic in my life. If she is still alive I do not think consulting her would arrange matters – she might blow up but it would be without consequence….she is now, if alive, a woman of about 75 years´. Man Ray continues ´There is one other pre-marital episode: my meeting with wife Juliet in Hollywood, but she is signing a waver (sic) to all libel action! I have just thought again on the subject of Donna. She was not really married to Loupov (Wolff) before, had her child with him, and after our separation she lived with other men for sixteen years until on my visit to N.Y. I arranged our divorce to please her. She would not dare to make trouble if all this was brought up…..I regret only having to eliminate the sentence “That night I lost my virginity…..” OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED HERE.

The artist sends his correspondent more papers, with his thanks, and continues to provide a snapshot of his relaxed life with his second wife and muse, Jacquelibe Roque, on the Cote d´Azur ´Il fait l´été nous nous sommes baignez au port hier encore et nous aurions pu aller encore aujourd´hui hier ce matin encore sur la plage et dejeuner sur le sable comme jusques à présent´ (Translation: ´It's summer, we went swimming at the port again yesterday and we could have gone again today yesterday or this morning again on the beach and had lunch on the sand as we have been doing until now´), further profusely expressing his gratitude to Pellequer, ´Merci et merci encore pour toute du travail que je vous donne avec tant d´histoire de contributions et maisons. Merci. Merci. Merci. Vous etes très bon pour moi´ (Translation: ´Thank you and thank you again for all the work I give you with so much history of contributions and houses. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are very good to me´) and concluding by sending best wishes from himself and Jacqueline. To further reinforce the joy Picasso has found on his recent visit to the beach, the artist has added a delightful original drawing at the foot of his letter, executed in blue ink and various coloured crayons, depicting a magnificent, bright yellow sun in a clear blue sky, shining upon the deep blue Mediterranean sea, in which two bathers can be seen, and with a beach in the foreground upon which appear a number of other figures, some happily relaxing beneath bright orange parasols. To further illuminate his letter Picasso has underlined each Merci in orange crayon (a total of six times) and also underlined the name of his villa and the date in blue crayon at the head of the first page.

To the front cover Picasso has executed an attractive original pencil, black and blue crayon drawing, the image showing a flute player seated serenely on the ground in a full-length profile pose, facing right and with his knees bent, playing a long flute which he holds to his lips with both hands. Around the fluid, simplistic and stylised figure (in black crayon) Picasso has added (in pencil and blue crayon) a horizon and arabesques which serve to illuminate the composition.

Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VGThe theme of the flautist recurred many times in Picasso´s works during his career, and the present drawing is somewhat reminiscent of The Flute Player (1962) in which Picasso also depicts the musician seated on the ground, in a full-length pose and with his knees bent, holding his flute to his mouth with both hands.

Provenance: Luciane Abiet, Paris Sotheby's, Paris, 24 May 2018, lot 70 Artaud was a key figure in the European avant-garde best known for his writings and work in the theatre and on screen. The present sheet dates from the period when Luciane Abiet served as secretary to Artaud, where the latter mentions his appointments: 'Picasso / Montmartre Picasso / Montmartre Picasso / Saturday noon. Sunday Henri Thomas 7 a.m. Montmartre Tuesday 10 a.m. / Picasso Monday Mme Abiet/ Diane/Arthur/ Adamov Tuesday Picasso Wednesday Africa.'  Picasso, Adamov, and Thomas, whose names appear in this list, had joined the Association des amis de l'œuvre d'Antonin Artaud, created in the spring of 1946 for the maintenance and accommodation of Artaud in a private clinic in Ivry. At this time, Bordas wanted to publish an edition illustrated by Picasso of texts by Artaud. In August 1946, Artaud tried in vain to see Picasso, who was in Antibes. When he collects Luciane Abiet's testimony on Artaud, G. Mordillat mentions this sheet: 'Lucienne Abiet keeps a schedule of Artaud with the appointments cancelled by Picasso' (The Veiled Mirror: And other writings on the image, Calmann-Levy, 2014).
