Lot 173 | VAN DONGEN, Kees (1877-1968) -- LECLÈRE, Paul (1883-1969)
VAN DONGEN, Kees (1877-1968) -- LECLÈRE, Paul (1883-1969). Venise seuil des eaux. Paris : À la Cité des livres, 1925.

Exemplaire sur vélin de Hollande de cette édition originale. « Venise a inspiré de nombreux peintres, mais elle a sûrement exercé sur Van Dongen un charme particulier : il en a ramené des images fascinantes où, dans des sites réputés, baignant dans une lumière intense, évoluent d’élégantes parisiennes. Van Dongen fait apparaître Venise sous un jour nouveau. Et c’est tout naturellement à lui que s’adresse Paul Leclère en 1925 pour l’illustration de sa narration poétique Venise, seuil des eaux. » (Van Dongen après le fauvisme, Lausanne, 1987, p. 40). « Chacune [des planches] relève d’une sorte de spectacle coloré, de mises en scène dans lesquelles les personnages, occupés à de vagues occupations, semblent appartenir à un univers de théâtre » (Vallès-Bled, Van Dongen, du Nord au Sud, Musée de Lodève, p. 202, nos 78-88).

In-4 (325 x 255 mm), broché. Sous couverture illustrée. La vignette de couverture et les 10 hors-texte à pleine page sont des aquarelles de Kees Van Dongen, reproduites par le maître coloriste Jean Saudé. Un des 250 exemplaires sur vélin de Hollande, numérotés de 42 à 291, celui-ci le n°182. Étui bleu ciel de l’éditeur, avec titre en noir sur le plat supérieur et le dos (étui passé).

Holland vellum copy of this beautifully illustrated book.
