FERNAND KHNOPFF (1858-1921)Fore Aeternum, Futur 1909Monogrammé, titré en bas au centrePastel et crayon de couleur sur papier Gemonogrammeerd, getiteld middenonderPastel en kleur op papier Monogrammed, titled lower centrePastel and coloured pencil on paper28 x 28 cmFootnotes:Provenance / HerkomstAdolphe Stoclet Collection, acquired in the early 20th century Ce tableau est inscrit dans les archives de Fernand Khnoppf sous le numéro d'inventaire au catalogue raisonné 464 bis. L'authenticité a été confirmée par Madame Gisèle Ollinger-Zinque. Reconnu à juste titre comme le représentant le plus subtil, le plus raffiné mais aussi le plus ambigu et le plus mystique de l'esprit symboliste qui fleurit dans les milieux littéraires et artistiques en Belgique à la fin du XIXème siècle, Fernand Khnopff est à lui seul une énigme. A la fois peintre, dessinateur, sculpteur, et graveur, il pratique également la photographie, réalise des costumes et des décors pour le Théâtre de la Monnaie, et s'adonne à l'illustration de livres et à la création d'ex-Libris. Metteur en scène de sa propre œuvre, il conçoit à Bruxelles une maison-atelier, comme un sanctuaire voué à son ego, « un temple du moi » dans lequel il trouve un refuge au bruissement du monde extérieur.  Car ce touche-à-tout est un solitaire, méfiant et peu expansif, un Narcisse qui s'est construit avec soin son propre mythe, imposant une certaine lecture de lui-même. Né en 1858 dans un milieu bourgeois, Fernand Khnopff passe sa petite enfance à Bruges. L'atmosphère de la ville le marque profondément et lui inspire quelques très belles vues de la cité, mélancoliques et silencieuses, vidées de toute présence humaine. La famille déménage en 1865 à Bruxelles où son père est nommé Substitut du Procureur du Roi. Après une année de droit à l'université, le jeune Fernand s'oriente vers une carrière artistique et suit des cours auprès de Xavier Mellery. Il parfait ensuite son apprentissage à Paris à l'Académie libre de Jules Lefèbvre, auprès de Gustave Moreau, et à l'atelier Julian. Pétri de littérature, Fernand Khnopff se nourrit d'elle : Flaubert, Rodenbach, Grégoire Leroy lui inspirent, entre autres, des univers intimes et intérieurs dont son art porte les stigmates. Il se lie à la bohême littéraire belge qui se regroupe autour de la revue et du mouvement « Jeune Belgique » et participe au groupe artistique des XX dont il est un membre fondateur. Proche des Préraphaélites anglais dont il partage le goût pour un art sincère et nostalgique, il prend part aux salons de la Rose-Croix sous l'égide du Sâr Péladan.  L'art de Fernand Khnopff est un « art de patience, de précision et de raisonnement » comme le décrit Emile Verhaeren dans son éloge à l'artiste. Et de poursuivre, « Minutieux, à petits coups brefs, avec une lenteur à peine inquiète, sa pointe, brosse ou crayon, griffe le panneau ou le papier. Mais son regard est aigu à l'extrême, on sent un vouloir cruel, on y surprend toute une observation tendue vers les choses, implacable et incessante. La main ne fait aucun mouvement que n'ait déterminé et contrôlé la pensée. Elle n'hésite point, toutefois elle n'a aucun entrain, aucune folie, elle est d'une réserve et d'une prudence nettes. Point de belle liberté de dessin, point de facture forte et caractérisante, mais des traits minces, sévères, décisifs, presque de l'écriture ». Ce dessin délicatement nuancé est subtilement rehaussé de pastel. Il évoque un être au visage androgyne angélique et impassible. L'androgynie a émergé dans le milieu symboliste et décadent comme le nouvel idéal. Elle trouve un écho particulier dans l'œuvre de Khnopff dont l'idéal féminin est tout sauf univoque. Dans ce dessin, la figure est frontale, dans la lignée des portraits en buste florentins. Le visage garde ses secrets, emprisonne ses sentiments. Il est découpé au niveau du front. Un voile transparent estompe légèrement le bas du visage et se déploie sur le haut de la poitrine, accentuant encore l'aspect hiératique de la figure, enserrée dans un cercle. Khnopff considère en effet le cercle comme un symbole de la perfection. Sur le sol de son atelier, il a fait tracer un cercle d'or au milieu duquel il pose son chevalet avant d'entamer toute création.  Le passe-partout entoure le dessin et en limite la perception, comme si les formes et les volumes continuaient au-delà des limites proposées. Khnopff impose cette mise-en-scène, tout comme il se permet de décentrer ses figures dans ses œuvres : « on m'a souvent reproché de couper les têtes de mes personnages par le cadre qui les entoure..., mais agissant ainsi, j'avais chaque fois un but bien précis ». Il accentue ainsi le regard de la femme mystérieuse et le texte énigmatique qui l'accompagne : « Fore Aeternum » ou  « ce serait pour toujours », un hymne à l'intemporalité. Il n'est pas étonnant que ce dessin ait trouvé sa place au sein du Palais Stoclet, bijou par excellence de la Sécession Viennoise à Bruxelles, qui plus est dans la chambre à coucher des maîtres de maison, Adolphe et Suzanne Stoclet. Encensé, adulé par le public lors de la première Sécession en 1898, Khnopff connaît en cette fin de siècle une notoriété internationale, inspirant des générations d'artistes en quête d'imaginaire, de rêve et d'irréel. Fernand Khnopff wordt terecht erkend als de meest subtiele, verfijnde, dubbelzinnige en mystieke vertegenwoordiger van de symbolistische geest die aan het einde van de 19e eeuw opbloeide in de Belgische literaire en artistieke kringen. Hij was schilder, tekenaar, beeldhouwer en graveur, maar hij fotografeerde ook, ontwierp kostuums en decors voor het Munttheater, illustreerde boeken en creëerde ex-Libris. Als regisseur van zijn eigen werk heeft hij een atelierwoning in Brussel ontworpen, als een heiligdom gewijd aan zijn ego, een 'tempel van het zelf' waarin hij een toevluchtsoord vindt voor het lawaai van de buitenwereld.

Karl und Jenny Marx - zwei Studio-Portraitaufnahmen im Visitenkartenformat, London, ca. 1875 bzw. Trier, wohl um 1881 Halbportrait von Karl Marx in feinem Anzug mit Weste, am Hals sein Monokel hängend, rückseitige Herstellerbezeichnung "Mayall - 224, Regent Street London, W. And 914, King's Road, Brighton" sowie handschriftliche Bleistiftnotizen "Karl Marx!" und "18/2 Ord.". Maße 10 x 6,3 cm. Brustportrait von Jenny Marx in schwarzem Trauerkleid, rückseitig Herstellerbezeichnung "C. Schulz - photogr. Atelier Trier Dietrichstr. No. 216" sowie handschriftliche Bleistiftnotizen "Frl. v. Westphal" und "18/2 Ord.". Der Unterrand beschnitten, Maße 9,6 x 6,3 cm. Das Foto von Karl Marx stammt aus einer Serie von Studioaufnahmen mit John Mayall jr.Aufgrund der Jugendlichkeit der abgebildeten Jenny Marx und der Tatsache, dass der Fotograf Carl Schulz erst ab etwa 1865 in Trier tätig ist, kann angenommen werden, dass es sich nicht um Karl Marx' Ehefrau Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen (1814 - 1881) handelt, sondern höchstwahrscheinlich um deren dritte Tochter Jenny Julia Eleanor Marx-Aveling (1855 - 1898), vermutlich in Trauerkleidung anlässlich des Todes ihrer Mutter 1881.Provenienz: Aus einer deutschen Privatsammlung. Erworben im Oktober 1984 beim Heidelberger Antiquariat Dr. Helmut Tenner, dazu in Fotokopie die entsprechenden Katalogseiten (Losnummer 18). Zudem ein Brief des Instituts für Marxismus-Leninismus beim ZK der SED vom 10.10.1984 an das Antiquariat Tenner mit der Bitte, sich an den "glücklichen Besitzer des unter Nr. 18 des Auktionskataloges genannten Fotos" zu wenden, um eine "hochwertige Fotokopie" zu erhalten und "einem unserer Mitarbeiter gelegentlich Einsicht in das Original zu geben?". Zwei Seiten, DIN A4 mit entsprechendem Briefkopf, unterschrieben vom damaligen stellvertr. Direktor des Instituts, Prof. Dr. Heinrich Gemkow (1928 - 2017). Karl and Jenny Marx - two CDV studio portraits, London, circa 1875, and Trier, presumably around 1881 Karl and Jenny Marx - two CDV studio portraits, London, circa 1875, and Trier, presumably around 1881Half-length portrait of Karl Marx in a fine suit with waistcoat, his monocle hanging from his neck, on the reverse maker’s inscription "Mayall - 224, Regent Street London, W. And 914, King's Road, Brighton" and handwritten pencil notes "Karl Marx!" and "18/2 Ord.". Dimensions 10 x 6.3 cm. Half portrait of Jenny Marx in a black mourning dress, on the reverse maker’s inscription "C. Schulz - photogr. Atelier Trier Dietrichstr. No. 216" and handwritten pencil notes "Frl. v. Westphal" and "18/2 Ord.". The lower edge cut back, dimensions 9.6 x 6.3 cm. The photograph of Karl Marx comes from a series of studio photographs taken by John Mayall jr.The juvenile looks of Jenny Marx in the photograph and the fact that the photographer Carl Schulz did not take up business in Trier before approx. 1865 suggest that she was not Karl Marx’s wife Johanna Bertha Julie Jenny von Westphalen (1814 – 1881), but rather her third daughter Jenny Julia Eleanor Marx -Aveling (1855 – 1898), probably in mourning dress because of her mother’s death in 1881. Provenance: From a German private collection. Acquired in October 1984 from the Heidelberg antiquarian bookshop Dr. Helmut Tenner, together with a photocopy of the respective catalogue page (lot number 18).Comes with a letter of the Institute for Marxism-Leninism in the Central Committee of the SED dated 10 October 1984 and addressed to the antiquarian bookshop Tenner with the request to approach the (tr.)

Eliot, Thomas Stearns (1888-1965), poet, critic and publisher, Criterion, 24 Russell Square, London WC1; letter to Peter Winckworth ‘Dear Winckworth’, 30 Buckingham Gate. London SW1, 21 October 1937 Unable to lunch next week as he will be in Edinburgh the whole week; very glad to lunch later; ‘the only day in every week on which I am never free is Wednesday’; ‘I shall be interested to know if you really have some good Wensleydale at Windham’s; if so, I must speak severely to our steward, who has not provided any Wensleydale at all yet this year’.In 1922 Eliot jumped at an offer from Lady Rothermere, wife of Esmond Harmsworth, second Viscount Rothermere, publisher of the Daily Mail, to edit a high-profile literary journal. The first number of The Criterion appeared in October 1922. Like The Waste Land, which The Criterion first published, it took the whole of European culture in its sights. The Criterion's editorial voice placed Eliot at the centre of first the London and then the continental literary scene. The editorial life on Russell Square was also conducted over friendly dinners that served the function of a college or a club, and Eliot seemed to thrive on such occasions.At about the same time Eliot reached out for religious support, and turned to the Church of England. Few followers were prepared for Eliot's baptism into the Church of England on 29 June 1927 at Finstock in Oxfordshire, and so, within five years of his avant-garde success, Eliot provoked a second storm. The furore grew in November 1927 when Eliot took British citizenship and again in 1928 when he collected a group of politically conservative essays under the title For Lancelot Andrewes and prefaced them with a declaration that he considered himself ‘classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and anglo-catholic in religion’. (ODNB)Eliot had been introduced to Winckworth in April 1932 by (Archibald) Kenneth Ingram (1882-1965), author and vice-chairman of the National Peace Council, who was ‘anxious [for Eliot] to meet a young friend of mine … [who] has an unusually good mind and writes very fair verse. I am sure you would like him’. Ingram, an Anglo-Catholic lay theologian, socialist, and prolific writer, attempted in several works to integrate his sexuality with his religious beliefs. See David Hilliard, ‘UnEnglish and Unmanly: Anglo-Catholicism and Homosexuality’; Victorian Studies 25 (2) (1982) 181-210. Winckworth was one of the originators of the Seven Years’ Association, established at the 1933 Anglo-Catholic Congress to form ‘a youth auxiliary to the Church Union’. In July 1934 he sent Eliot a ‘short essay’ on the Association, which he hoped he might arrange to review in the St Stephen’s parish magazine. He hoped too that Eliot might take the chair at their meeting in Kensington on 16 October, which he duly did. In December 1934, Eliot described Winckworth to William Kemp Lowther Clarke, a Church of England clergyman, as ‘a very good man indeed, and I have great hopes of him’.The present letter is a reply to Winckworth’s invitation to Eliot to participate in a Junior Church Congress on the theme of the Christian Revolution, to be held at the Dorland Hall in Regent Street 28-20 April 1938. His letter declining the invitation expressed a need to conserve his energy, and that ‘Dorland Hall is rather too public a place to suit my book’. His reluctance to appear was doubtless influenced by an incident at the Dorland Hall in November 1935, when he had been accosted by his estranged wife Vivien in one of her ‘often histrionic attempts to embarrass him into a reconciliation’ (https://tseliot.com ; ODNB).John Peter Winckworth was born on 2 November 1908, youngest of the three children of Lewis Herbert Winckworth (1864-1940), solicitor, and Ruthella Theodora, elder daughter of the Revd Herbert Clementi-Smith of Holland Park Avenue, Kensington, chaplain to the Mercers’ Company. In September 1922 he entered Grants House at Westminster School (also attended by his father and three uncles) and left in July 1927.Admitted as a solicitor in October 1932, he practised in London, in 1947 with Messrs Trollope and Winckworth of 21 Old Queen Street, Westminster.
