PICASSO, Pablo (1881-1973), PÉTRARQUE (1304-1374) [et Louis ARAGON (1897-1982)]
Cinq Sonnets de Pétrarque, avec une eau-forte de Picasso, et les explications du traducteur. A la Fontaine de Vaucluse, 1947.
Exemplaire des bibliothèques de Denise Weil-Scheler et de Fred Feinsilber, relié par Leroux.
L'adresse "La Fontaine de Vaucluse" est un clin d'oeil à la rencontre entre Pétrarque et Laure, son amour idéalisé, en Avignon. Les sonnets du Canzoniere sont dédiés à la jeune fille.
Pour Aragon, traducteur sous cape de cette édition, "Laura [is] somebody ELSE", ou plutôt Elsa, c'est-à-dire Elsa Triolet. Il achève d'ailleurs ses explications par ces mots, sans équivoque : "Laure, dans le langage de mon coeur à moi n'a point le doux nom de l'air vauclusien, mais d'une autre brise qui vient de l'orient", référence à la Russie natale d'Elsa. Pour Picasso, l'amour idéalisé a, alors, les traits de Françoise Gilot. Goeppert-Cramer, Picasso, n°47 ; Picasso et le livre d'artiste, fig. n°49.

In-4 (325 x 248 mm). Tirage limité à 110 exemplaires sur vélin d'Arches, celui-ci le n°56. Tous les exemplaires présentent, en guise de signature à la justification, un proverbe autographe d'Aragon, ici : "56 L'homme est feu et la femme étoupe, le vent vient qui souffle". 1 eau-forte originale de Pablo Picasso. Reliure signée de Georges Leroux, datée 1975 : box olive, plats ornés de bandes verticales de papiers de différentes textures et nuances de vert, dos lisse, lettre dorée, doublure de box olive, garde de papier vert, couverture et dos conservés, étui.
Provenance : Denise Weil-Scheler (ex-libris ; sa vente, Paris, 31 mai 1989, lot n°79) -- Fred Feinsilber (ex-libris ; sa vente, Paris, 11-12 ocobre 2006, lot n°317).
