VICTOR-MARIE HUGO (BESANÇON 1802-1885 PARIS)Maison dans un paysage montagneuxpinceau, plume et encre brune17,2 x 12,3 cm (6 7⁄8 x 4 7⁄8 in.) Provenance Paul Meurice (1818-1905), Paris; puis par descendance, sa fille Marthe Clémenceau Meurice (1863-1955), Paris. R. Langlois-Berthelot. Literature J. Massin, B. Grynberg, Victor Hugo, Œuvre graphique, Paris, 1967-1969, II, n° 932. Post lot text VICTOR-MARIE HUGO, A COTTAGE IN A MOUTAINOUS LANDSCAPE, BRUSH, BROWN WASHIn this drawing, the uncommon usage of a large brush to apply a brown wash contrasts the miniscule details some chateaux fantastiques feature, thanks to the use of a fine pen. Gerard Audinet insists on the plurality of techniques and the diversity of drawings created during the travels of Hugo’s exile. How better to open our eyes to the incredible fruitfulness and full freedom of Hugo's graphic work? (G. Audinet, Victor Hugo. Dessins. Collection des Maisons de Victor Hugo. Paris/Guernesey, Paris, 2021, p. 313).We thank Pierre Georgel for confirming the attribution. The drawing will be included in the catalogue raisonné of the artist's drawings currently in preparation.
