About the Item
Charles Dufresne (1876-1938), Une Escale au Brasil (A Stopover in Brazil), etching and drypoint, c. 1920, signed in pencil lower right margin and inscribed “epreuve de artist” lower left. Reference: Thomas Dufresne 35. Edition of only 25. In very good condition, with full margins on a cream wove paper, with the watermark Van Gelder Zonen and also Alfred Porcabeuf (?), 9 1/8 x 12, the sheet 12 1/2 x 18 inches, archival matting.
A fine impression of this artist’s proof, printed in black ink.
Dufresne used techniques beyond etching and drypoint here, perhaps softground etching and a piercing tool too for dotting effects.
Une Escale was first exhibited at the Paris Salon de la Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in 1921, where it caused much comment regarding both its marvelous composition, and its subject matter – it led to much speculation about the artist (e.g., what’s he doing in Brazil? What is the meaning of the composition – the well-dressed fop at the table (presumably the artist); the sailor and largish waitress, and the nude women lounging or standing about? Dufresne’s stunning composition in Une Escale shows the influence of cubism and the Parisian School – after all he was born in France and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts – but it also shows the influence of the years he spent in Africa, and his origins as part of a seafaring family. In 1910 won the Prix de l’Afrique du Nord and then spent two years in Algeria, which stirred his interest in exoticism and lyricism.

- Construction d'un Temple en ruine - Plate n.6By Paul DelvauxLocated in Roma, ITConstruction d’un temple – Plate n.6 is a b/w original etching and dypoint realized in 1972 (as it is reported on plate on the lower-right margin) by Paul Delvaux. From the collection “Construction d’un temple en ruine à la déesse Vanadé” came into being from the collaboration of four years between the French author and a memeber of the Nouveau-Roman, Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008), and the Belgian artist Paul Delvaux (1897-1994). Firstly Robbe-Grillet wrote a text, to which Delvaux then replied witha wonderful engraving, Robbe-Grillet then responded with a second text. This is how the building blocks for this beautiful artist's book came together, upon which it was then constructed like a temple. The book was printed in an edition of 187 copies, of which only 40 contain the illustrations by Paul Delvaux. Our copy is unnumbered and printed on “Arches” ivory colored paper with the Bateau Lavoir watermark (on the lower right corner), and “Richard Bas” watermark (on the lower left margin). Image dimensions: 31.3 x 44.3 cm This beautiful artwork representing a woman looking at another woman pictured like ancient Greek marble statue...Category
