ROUAULT, Georges (1871-1958) et André SUARÈS (1868-1948)
Passion. Paris : Ambroise Vollard, 1939.
Exemplaire hors-commerce de cet ouvrage, le dernier illustré par Rouault et le dernier publié du vivant de Vollard, ultime avatar d'un quart de siècle de fructueuse collaboration. Pour Vollard, l'artiste illustrera en effet Réincarnations du père Ubu (1932), Cirque de l'étoile filante (1935), Les Fleurs du Mal (1936-1938) et donc cette Passion d'André Suarès.
L'exigence et les demandes boulimiques du marchand-éditeur sont fréquemment l'objet de plaintes de Rouault : écrivant justement à Suarès, le 16 octobre 1934, il peste ainsi : "peintures, eaux-fortes, noires et couleurs? Et quoi encore ? Modèles et bois originaux ! Par centaines...il croit que cela se fait en soufflant dessus...". Pour autant, l'artiste voyait surtout en Vollard "le rare bonhomme à comprendre la liberté à donner à un artiste pour oeuvrer en pensant à une oeuvre".

Jacqueline Munck, "Vollard et Rouault, un quart de siècle de collaboration. Le métier de gravure, un "métier de peintre"?", in Édition limitée. Vollard, Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres, Paris, Petit Palais, 2021, pp. 90-99 et cat. 213 ; Monro Wheeler, The prints of Georges Rouault, New York : MoMA, 1938, cat. 17 ; The Artist and the Book, cat. 272 ; Carteret, Illustrés, IV, p. 371 ("belle édition").

In-4 (435 x 335 mm). Tirage limité à 270 exemplaires, tous sur vergé de Montval, celui-ci l'un des XXV hors-commerce, n°XI. 17 aquatintes originales hors texte de Georges Rouault, 82 bois et une table des illustrations en gravure sur bois de Georges Aubert d'après les dessins de Rouault (comme toujours, reports des planches, malgré la présence de serpentes). Demi-maroquin violet à coins de Jean-Etienne, couverture et dos conservés, étui (dos passé).

Hors-commerce copy of Rouault last illustrated book, and the last of Vollard's books published in his lifetime, richly illustrated with 17 original aquatints in colour by Rouault, and 82 woodcuts after his original drawings. "The Passion of Christ is recounted by Suarès in dramatic-narrative form and illustrated by Rouault with an intensity of feeling usually equalled only in medieval art, which these plates often recall" (The Artist and the Book, cat. 272).
