Lot 113 | MAILLOL, Aristide (1862-1944) – VIRGILE (70 av J-C-19 av JC)...
Estimate value
€ 400 – 500
MAILLOL, Aristide (1862-1944) – VIRGILE (70 av. J.-C.-19 av. J.C.). Les Géorgiques. Texte latin et version française de l’abbé Jacques Delille, gravures sur bois d’Aristide Maillol. Paris : Philippe Gonin, 1937-1938 [achevé d’imprimé daté du 21 mars 1950].



Le dernier livre illustré par Maillol. Il semble que ce soit à la suite d’un voyage à Naples et Pompéi que Maillol ait nourrit le projet d’illustrer les Géorgiques, d’abord en exécutant une série de dessins, puis en gravant des bois. Le projet ne reprend vraiment qu’en 1937, sous l’impulsion de l’éditeur Philippe Gonin, qui reçoit « le dernier bois en septembre 1944. Quelques jours plus tard, la mort fermait les yeux du sculpteur ».



2 vol. in-4 (325 x 242 mm). En feuilles, sous couvertures rempliées. 122 bois originaux en noir d’Aristide Maillol. Tirage limité à 750 exemplaires, tirés sur « pur chanvre et lin à grandes fibres », filigrané « Maillol Gonin » avec un nu assis, réalisé spécialement pour cette édition, celui-ci le n° 396. Chemises rigides en demi-vélin et étuis de l’éditeur. Les plats et contreplats de la chemise du t. II, et les plats des étuis sont recouverts de 11 bois originaux de Maillol au total, dont 9 en noir et 2 en rouge (rares piqûres, quelques rousseurs aux couvertures, salissures aux chemises et étuis).
