PICASSO, Pablo (1881-1973) et OVIDE (Ier siècle av.-Ier siècle ap. J.-C.). Les Métamorphoses. Lausanne : Albert Skira, 1931. Exemplaire de collaborateur, avec double suite des eaux-fortes originales de Picasso, du premier livre publié par Albert Skira. Reliure de Jacques Anthoine-Legrain. En 1928, un jeune bibliophile de vingt-quatre ans à peine, Albert Skira, fonde sa maison d'édition à Lausanne. Sans expérience préalable, il se fixe pourtant un objectif audacieux : parvenir à faire illustrer par Pablo Picasso le premier livre qu'il publierait en tant qu'éditeur. Après nombre de discussions, l'artiste accepte et se charge d'illustrer les Métamorphoses d'Ovide. "C'est un des rares cas où Picasso illustre un livre avec autant de fidélité au texte ; il choisit des scènes bien déterminées et se plaît à chercher la représentation idéale, faisant jusqu'à six versions d'un même sujet". Goeppert-Cramer, Picasso, n°19 ; From Manet to Hockney, n°91 ; the Artist and the Book 1860-1960, n°224 ; Mornand-Thomé, Vingt artistes du livre, pp. 225-228 ; Castleman, A Century of Artists Books, pp. 30 et 111 ; Rauch 292 ; Baer 143-172 ; Bloch 99-128.In-4 (330 x 250 mm). Un des XX exemplaires de collaborateurs, celui-ci le n°III, imprimé pour Léon Pichon. 30 eaux-fortes originales en noir de Pablo Picasso. L'exemplaire comprend également, réliées in-fine, deux suites de ces eaux-fortes, avec remarques en noir, tirées sur Japon et sur Chine. Au total, l'exemplaire comprend donc 90 eaux-fortes originales de Pablo Picasso. Reliure signée de Jacques Anthoine-Legrain : maroquin bordeaux mosaïqué de filets dorés et à froid s’entrelaçant en formant de multiples compartiments de pièces de maroquin bleu, bleu nuit et noir, dos lisse avec le titre en lettres repoussées ou dorées et au centre le nom de l’auteur mosaïqué dans une forme ovale, doublure mosaïquée de même, gardes de daim bordeaux, couverture en papier Japon rempliée avec le titre imprimé sur le premier plat en noir et dos conservés. Deluxe copy, with two additional suites on Japan and China, with remarques, bound by Jacques Anthoine-Legrain.
