APOLLINAIRE, Guillaume (1880-1918), et André DERAIN (1880-1954)
L'Enchanteur pourrissant. Paris : [Daniel] Henry Kahnweiler, 1909.

Précieux exemplaire de tête, relié par Paul Bonet, du premier livre gravé par Andre Derain, également le premier livre édité par Kahnweiler et la première publication en volume d'Apollinaire, qui présentait l'ouvrage comme "un des livres les plus mystérieux et les plus lyriques de la nouvelle génération littéraire" dans le bulletin de souscription. Derain, qui connaissait le texte et souhaitait depuis longtemps illustrer un livre, s'imposa à l'auteur comme le choix logique pour en réaliser l'illustration. "Livre inaugural, il se distingue par son format relativement modeste, sa typographie hors norme, maladroite et sensible à la fois, surtout par ses gravures reliées au texte par des liens subtils, rattachant le merveilleux celtique de L'Enchanteur à un foisonnement de vie primitive qui déplace le lecteur dans un cadre plus large" (Coron) Passé inapercu a sa publication, les trois-quarts du tirage subsistaient dans les mains de Kahnweiler en 1914. Coron, De Goya à Max Ernst, n°28 ; From Manet to Hockney, n°26 ; Castleman, A Century of Artists Books, p. 90 ("it might be argued that this book marks the true origin of the modern artist's book") ; The Artist and the Book, n°78 ("A triple monument in the History of 20th century books").

In-4 (269 x 194 mm). Édition originale. Tirage limité à 104 exemplaires, celui-ci l'un des 25 de tête sur Japon ancien, n°19, signé par Apollinaire et Derain à la justification. Illustré de 32 gravures sur bois originales d'Andre Derain, dont 12 à pleine page et 1 pour la page de titre (quelques rousseurs) Reliure signée de Paul Bonet, datée 1941 (Carnets, n°516): maroquin ébène, plats ornés d’un décor géométrique de filets à froid, se prolongeant sur le dos, fin listel de maroquin vert sombre en partie inférieure des plats, lettre dorée sur le dos, doublure et gardes de daim chocolat avec encadrement de maroquin vert, couvertures et dos de peau de vélin conservés, tranches dorées sur témoins, chemise à bande et étui assortis.

Provenance : Charles Gillet (1879-1972) -- Renaud Gillet (1913-2001 ; sa vente, Sotheby’s Londres, 27 octobre 1999, lot n°125).

A precious copy, one of the first 25 on Ancient Japan paper, bound by Paul Bonet, of this “triple monument in the History of 20th century books".
