Lot 158 | RODIN, Auguste (1840-1917) et Octave MIRBEAU (1848-1917)
RODIN, Auguste (1840-1917) et Octave MIRBEAU (1848-1917). Le Jardin des supplices. Paris : Ambroise Vollard, 1902.

Édition illustrée de vingt nus de Rodin. Vollard avait initialement contacté l'Imprimerie nationale pour se charger du tirage de l'ouvrage. Elle dernière refusa, jugeant l'ouvrage trop osé : "les lithographies exécutées par Auguste Clot d'après les aquarelles de Rodin mêlent un trait noir épuré et des couleurs aux effets irisés qui imitent avec virtuosité les lavis et les effets de transparence des dessins originaux. Elles épousent le texte sulfureux d'Octave Mirbeau, entre dénonciation politique et sociale et esthétisation de la violence et de la souffrance". C. Roca, Édition limitée. Vollard, Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres,p. 59 ; Carteret, Illustrés IV, ^p. 282 : « ouvrage très coté, type des publications modernes, ayant rencontré le plus vif succès d’engouement. Compositions d’un grand artiste [sic] » ; Mahé, II, col. 955.

In-4 (323 x 248 mm). 20 lithographies d'après des compositions originales de Rodin, dont 18 en couleurs (légers reports). Un des 155 exemplaires sur vélin au filigrane spécial, celui-ci le n°71. Demi-maroquin rouge à coins de l’époque, tête dorée sur témoins (quelques frottements aux nerfs et charnières), étui. Serpentes titrées et illustrées.

Twenty nude portraits after Rodin.
