Agréable exemplaire. - [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Edition originale, un des 100 exemplaires hors commerce numérotés sur B.F.K. de Rives, seuls grands papiers avec 512 autres B.F.K. de Rives. Précieux envoi autographe daté d'Avril 1966 et signé de Samuel Beckett à son ami le peintre Geer (Van Velde) et à sa femme Lise. Agréable exemplaire. « Que dire de ces plans qui glissent, ces contours qui vibrent, ces corps comme taillés dans la brume, ces équilibres qu'un rien doit rompre, qui se rompent, et se reforment à mesure qu'on regarde ? Comment parler de ces couleurs qui respirent, qui halètent ? de cette stase grouillante ? de ce monde sans poids, sans force, sans ombre ? Ici tout bouge, nage, fuit, revient, se défait, se refait. Tout cesse, sans cesse. On dirait l'insurrection des molécules, l'intérieur d'une pierre un millième de seconde avant qu'elle ne se désagrège. C'est ça la littérature. » (La Peinture des van Velde ou Le monde et le pantalon, in Cahiers d'Art n°11 - 12, Paris 1945) Beckett ne parle pas ici, malgré les apparences, de son œuvre littéraire mais de la peinture de Geer Van Velde, ajoutant quelques lignes plus loin : « [Bram] Van Velde peint l'étendue. G[eer] Van Velde peint la succession. » Cet éloge, publié à l'occasion de la double exposition des Van Velde, Geer chez Maeght et Bram à la galerie Mai, est le premier texte d'importance sur ces peintres alors à peu près inconnus du public : « On ne fait que commencer à déconner sur les frères Van Velde. J'ouvre la série. C'est un honneur. » Il est aussi le premier texte critique écrit directement en français par un jeune écrivain irlandais qui n'a encore jamais publié en France. Ainsi, le premier et plus important écrit sur l'art de Beckett, composé à l'aube de sa carrière littéraire, instaure, dès l'origine, une relation fondamentale entre son œuvre en gestation et la peinture de ses amis : « Aussi a - t - on souvent lu ce texte en creux, ou en miroir, comme une des rares désignations de la poétique (à venir) de Beckett par lui - même, une sorte de programme anamorphique d'écriture » (Un pantalon cousu de fil blanc : Beckett et l'épreuve critique par Pierre Vilar) Véritable déclaration d'intention du dramaturge, ce texte fondamental - dont Beckett confesse dès l'introduction la valeur introspective : « avec les mots on ne fait que se raconter » - inaugure la période créatrice la plus fructueuse de l'écrivain. En effet, à l'instar d'Apollinaire et de Cendrars, Beckett puise dans les problématiques artistiques de ses contemporains le ferment de son écriture à venir par « la mise en cause la plus profonde des présupposés narratifs, figuratifs ou poétiques. » (Pascale Casanova in Beckett l'abstracteur) L'influence majeure de la peinture moderne sur la structure - ou déstructuration - narrative du théâtre et des romans de Beckett sera révélée et analysée par de nombreux penseurs, dont Gilles Deleuze, Julia Kristeva ou Maurice Blanchot. C'est justement à partir de la peinture des Van Velde, de Geer, puis de Bram, que Beckett formalise cette volonté de traduire la question picturale en dramaturgie. Ainsi refuse - t - il les décors de Nicolas de Staël pour En attendant Godot car : « Il faut que le décor sorte du texte, sans y ajouter. Quant à la commodité visuelle du spectateur, je la mets là où tu penses. Crois - tu vraiment qu'on puisse écouter devant un décor de Bram, ou voir autre chose que lui ? » (Lettre à Georges Duthuit, 1952). Lorsqu'il rencontre Geer en 1937, « Beckett traverse une crise existentielle majeure, il vient de remodeler son premier roman Murphy, refusé par un grand nombre d'éditeurs, il sombre dans l'alcoolisme, quitte l'Irlande et s'installe définitivement à Paris » (Le Pictural dans l'œuvre de Beckett, Lassaad Jamoussi). Il revient d'un long voyage artistique en Allemagne où il s'est imprégné d'œuvres classiques et d'art contemporain - c'est lors de ce voyage qu'il découvre les Deux hommes contemplant la lune de Caspar David Friedrich, à l'origine de En attendant Godot. L'art est alors au cœur de sa réflexion créatrice et l'amitié qui va le lier à Geer puis plus tard à Bram et à leur sœur Jacoba (avec laquelle il entretint peut - être une relation plus qu'amicale) va profondément influencer sa vie et son écriture. Son premier écrit sur l'art est une courte notice sur Geer Van Velde dont il impose les œuvres à sa nouvelle amante Peggy Guggenheim à l'occasion de la création de sa galerie londonienne. Malgré l'échec relatif de l'exposition (qui suit celle de Kandinsky), il obtient de Peggy une bourse d'un an pour son ami. James Knowlson avance même que « si Beckett a longtemps gardé des liens étroits avec Peggy, c'est d'abord et avant tout parce qu'elle était susceptible de donner un sérieux coup de pouce à ses amis artistes, à commencer par Geer Van Velde. » (in Beckett p. 474) Enigmatique, la petite note que Beckett rédige alors à la demande de Peggy contient déjà en germe la pensée du dramaturge : « Believes painting should mind it on business, i.e. colours. i.e no more say Picasso than Fabritius, Vermeer. Or inversely. » (« Pense que la peinture devrait se mêler de ses propres affaires, c'est - à - dire la couleur, c'est - à - dire pas plus de Picasso que de Fabritus ou Vermeer. Et inversement. ») Plus lents à croître, son amitié pour Bram et son intérêt pour sa peinture modifient peu à peu le regard de Beckett sur la peinture de Geer et lorsque, dix ans après sa première rencontre avec les frères, il écrit Le Monde et le Pantalon, Beckett met à jour une dualité symbolisée par ce titre tiré d'une anecdote placée en exergue de l'article. Le monde, c'est l'œuvre « imparfaite » de Dieu créé en six jours à laquelle le tailleur oppose la perfection de son pantalon achevé en six mois. La relation entre cette anecdote et les frères Van Velde est peut - être à chercher dans le second essai que Beckett leur consacre en 1948, Peintres de l'empêchement (Derrière le miroir n° 11/12) : « L'un d'eux dira : Je ne peux voir l'objet, pour le représenter, parce qu'il est ce qu'il est. L'autre : je ne peux voir l'objet, pour le représenter, parce que je suis ce que je suis. Il y a toujours ces deux sortes d'empêchement, l'empêchement - objet et l'empêchement - œil. [...] Geer Van Velde est un artiste de la première sorte [...], Bram Van Velde de la seconde. ». Résistance de l'objet ou impuissance de l'artiste, cette fable, « véritable noyau narratif premier en forme de kôan zen » (P. Vilar), se retrouvera ensuite dispersée dans l'ensemble de l'œuvre de Beckett et occupera plus particulièrement une place centrale dans Fin de Partie, dont Roger Blin, note par ailleurs la similitude avec l'œuvre de Geer : « Il était ami à cette époque des frères Geer et Bram van Velde, hollandais et peintres tous deux. Geer était un peintre dans la lignée de Mondrian. J'ai le sentiment que Beckett voyait Fin de partie comme un tableau de Mondrian, avec des cloisons très nettes, des séparations géométriques, de la géométrie musicale. » (R. Blin, Conversations avec Lynda Peskine in Revue d'Esthétique). L'affinité grandissante de Beckett avec l'œuvre de Bram Van Velde et l'énergie qu'il dépense pour défendre son travail, notamment auprès de la galerie Maeght ou de son ami, l'historien d'art Georges Duthuit, se feront sans doute aux dépens de ses relations avec Geer. Cependant, malgré quelques malentendus, leur amitié ne sera jamais rompue, ni le dialogue silencieux mais agité que l'écrivain entretient avec l'œuvre du petit frère van Velde dont il possédait deux grandes toiles : « Le grand tableau de Geer me fait enfin des signes. Dommage qu'il ait si mal tourné. Mais ce n'est peut - être pas vrai. » (lettre à Georges Duthuit, mars 1950) « Geer dégage un grand courage. Des idées un peu tranchantes, mais peut - être seulement en apparence. Je l'ai toujours beaucoup estimé. Mais pas assez je crois. » (lettre à Mania Péron, août 1951) La mort de Geer Van Velde en 1977 affecte profondément Beckett et coïncide avec une période d'intense nostalgie durant laquelle l'écrivain décide de se livrer à un « grand ménage » dans sa demeure pour vivre entre des « murs gris comme le propriétaire ». Confiant ses états d'âme à son amie, la décoratrice de théâtre Jocelyn Herbert, Beckett témoigne de l'indéfectible affection qu'il porte au peintre depuis quarante ans : « plus de toiles sous les yeux, y compris celle du grand Geer Van Velde derrière le piano ». Précieux témoignage de l'amitié de ces compagnons de route qui, depuis le premier roman de Beckett pour lequel ils vérifiaient ensemble la vraisemblance de la partie d'échecs opposant Murphy à M. Endon, ont affronté ensemble les grands enjeux de la modernité : « C'est qu'au fond, la peinture ne les intéresse pas. Ce qui les intéresse, c'est la condition humaine. Nous reviendrons là - dessus. » (Beckett à propos des frères Van Velde, in Le Monde et le Pantalon) [Bookseller: Librairie Le Feu Follet]

Superbe et rarisime épreuve sur japon réalisée pour l'illustration de The Story of Exodus paru en 1966 et dont il a été tiré 20 exemplaires sur japon Impérial et 250 sur Arches comprenant 24 lithographies hors texte de Marc Chagall. Impression par Fernand Mourlot, déjà imprimeur des deux volumes de la Bible illustrée par Chagall et qui participa à la découverte de la lithographie par l'artiste dans les années 1950. La culture biblique de Marc Chagall (1887-1985) est importante : né dans une famille juive hassidique pratiquante, il lit la Bible dès son enfance. Son oeuvre picturale est très rapidement influencée par ce thème, comme en témoigne dès 1908 La Sainte Famille. Devant cette prédilection pour les sujets religieux, son ami le marchand d'art Ambroise Vollard lui commande en 1930 une série d'llustrations sur la Bible. Ce travail se trouve à l'origine d'un cycle décoratif, le Message biblique, terminé en 1966, soit la même année où est publié The Story of Exodus.

Unpublished typescript with manuscript corrections. --- Un apres-midi avec Picasso 85 ans. (An Afternoon with Picasso at 85). Cannes. 1966. NP. 1966 - Quarto (285mm x 233mm). 20 typed sheets in French (rectos only), legibly hand-corrected throughout by Brassai in black ink. Housed in a black cloth album, with each sheet in a separate clear plastic file. In excellent condition, the final page a little creased and with minor loss to right-hand side, affecting one letter. Overall fresh and clean. ------ A superb unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript in French, in which Brassai recounts his visit to Picasso, a long-standing friend, at his home near Cannes. Brassai, who photographed much of Picasso's work in the 1940s, had published Conversations with Picasso in 1964, in which he created an intimate portrait of Picasso, covering their friendship and artistic collaboration, and recording each of their meetings with minute detail. Picasso said of the volume, "Read this book if you want to understand me". This account is written in a similar style, and during the course of the afternoon, Picasso speaks about his nostalgia for his old studios, his health, his enthusiasm for the recently invented felt-tip pen, his opinion of his own writings, his relationship with his wife Jacqueline, and his views on feminism. Though unmarked as such, it comes from the collection of Brassai's close friend and colleague, photographer Stefan Lorant. [Attributes: Hard Cover] [Bookseller: Paul Foster. - ABA & PBFA Member.]

Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung. Beijing, Foreign Languages Press, 1966. - 12mo (93 x 131 mm). (12), 311, (3) pp. With half-tone portrait frontispiece and facsimile plate of inscripzion by Lin Pao. Original red vinyl over paper boards, titled and stamped with a star in blind on the upper cover. First English edition, signed by Chairman Mao alongside his portrait. While it is estimated that five billion copies of the "Little Red Book" were printed by the close of the 20th century, merely a handful were actually signed by Mao. According to a document included with the book, the volume was likely signed in December 1967, towards the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, when a delegation of the China-Albania friendship association visited Beijing. As the owner writes, "My father was one of the delegation members. Later on, my father asked some associated person if Chinese could present a signed 'Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung' as a souvenir. Afterwards, my father was much honored to receive this present. I have been preserving this book till now." The undated letter (probably 1980s) to Mr. Michael Moore of 1 Cromwell Place, London, is signed "Maskat" (?). Only three other signed copies appear in book auction records, all signed on 2 July 1967 for a delegation of journalists from the leftist New Zealand weekly "People's Voice".

Who Are You, Polly Magoo? [Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?] (Collection of 8 oversize double weight photographs from the set of the 1966 film) Paris: Club des Producteteurs, 1966. Eight vintage oversize press photographs from the set of the 1965 film, shot for the French magazine Cinéma 66, and with their stamp and stamped reference number on the verso of each. All the shots are striking and quite candid, several showing director William Klein working with actors Dorothy MacGowan and Sami Frey or setting up shots, and others capturing the delirious and beautiful Ms. McGowan. "After nearly a decade as American Vogue's most subversive fashion photographer, William Klein made this wild, pseudovérité incursion into the world of Parisian haute couture. Elegant, scathing humor ties together the various strands of this alternately glamorous and grotesque portrait of American in Paris Polly Maggoo (Dorothy MacGowan), an Alice in Wonderland supermodel who becomes the pinup plaything of media hounds and the fragmented fantasy of haunted Prince Igor (Sami Frey).

Photo Album Documenting Construction of Plaza Theater] Munn Photography [ca. 1966-1967], Jacksonville, FL - Oblong folio commercial album measuring approximately 15.5" x 12". Burlap covered boards with matted color photograph mounted to front. 22-ring clasp metal binding. 27 yellow construction paper pages containing 53 approximately 8" x 10" photographs (47 black and white, 6 color) mounted both recto and verso. Several related news clippings and articles loosely laid-in. Split in burlap at joint, though cover securely attached. Title photograph on front board with substantial fingerprinting, handling wear. Age toning to edges of interior paste-downs and occasionally at page edges. Five photos with tiny areas of image loss from having stuck to the print mounted opposite. Otherwise contents bright, clean, and well-preserved. About very good. Album carefully documenting the construction of The Kent Theaters, Plaza "Rocking Chair" Theater on Phillips Highway (U.S. Hwy #1) in Jacksonville, FL which opened its doors January 27, 1967. Photographs thoroughly detail construction, from groundbreaking to completion: concrete placement, steel erection, masonry, interior construction, placement of the rooftop A/C unit, signage, projector and speaker installation, workers and laborers, as well as finished shots of the theater's interior and exterior. All black and white construction images dated, beginning 9/1/66 and ending 1/23/67. The six color photos are undated, though were likely captured on or around the theater's opening day to showcase the finished work. A full page, color ad from January 26, 1967 issue of the JACKSONVILLE JOURNAL is laid-in. The Plaza's amenities, including ample parking, ("1,000 FREE PARKING SPACES" according to the ad), rocking chair seats and easy access to expressways, marked a sea change in options for the moviegoing public - a move that culminates in our modern multiplexes.

A series of 9 Autograph Letters Signed, 3 autograph postcards (with an autograph postcard from Murdoch's husband John Bayley) to Roger Sharrock and his wife Betty. - With six autograph envelopes, date stamped between 1966 and 1985. Informal and friendly correspondence to Professor Sharrock and his wife Betty in the form of letters, note cards and postcards spanning nearly 20 years. Mostly written from Murdoch's Steeple Aston home where she lived for thirty years with her husband, the literary critic John Bayley, with one letter from their North Oxford home in Charlbury Road. Professor Roger Sharrock (1919-1990) was an academic specialising in John Bunyan, who held professorships at the University of Durham and King's College London. Two letters refer to Murdoch's mother's failing health:'. my mother has been with us since earlier July, getting progressively iller, those who looked after her in London having given up. She has now had a mental collapse followed by a stroke, and it is not clear how far on she will recover. It has been a very sad time. .' (Steeple Aston, 9 August, no year)An undated letter (?1983) refers to a piece Sharrock had written on Yeats - 'Yeats - yes, how mixed I feel about him' and discusses his visit to Korea.'I hope the Koreans understood it. I fear their Buddhism is a bit nasty. No one I talked to would admit to being a Buddhist, though several said they were Confucians! We enjoyed being there - very afflicted country though. .' In a more prosaic postcard, John Bayley writes to Betty Sharrock recommending that she tries araldite. 'I do hope it does the trick - I think it will!'
