1948 original illustrated book titled "Quand on parle d'amour" by Domergue
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1948 original illustrated book titled "Quand on parle d'amour" by Jean-Gabriel Domergue is a beautifully crafted example of mid-20th-century French book art, blending the poetic musings of Pierre Harel-Darc with the refined and elegant illustrations of Domergue, a celebrated French painter and illustrator known for his depictions of Parisian high society and graceful female figures. Jean-Gabriel Domergue: The Artist Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889–1962) was a prominent French painter, often credited as the inventor of the "pin-up" style in France. He became renowned for his depictions of fashionable Parisian women, often characterized by elongated figures, elegant postures, and a refined, almost ethereal beauty. Domergue’s illustrations for "Quand on parle d'amour" are a testament to his ability to capture the essence of femininity, romance, and the sophisticated allure of the Parisian lifestyle. In this book, Domergue’s illustrations are not mere decorations but serve as visual interpretations of Harel-Darc’s poetic themes. His watercolors, translated into lithographs, echo the elegance and subtle emotional undertones of the poems, creating a harmonious blend of art and literature. The Poetry: Pierre Harel-Darc Pierre Harel-Darc’s "Quand on parle d'amour" is a poetic exploration of love—its emotions, complexities, and the often unspoken nuances that come with it. The poetry is deeply reflective, capturing both the joy and melancholy of romantic experiences. Harel-Darc’s words find a perfect counterpart in Domergue’s illustrations, which evoke the tender and passionate feelings expressed in the text. Lithography and Colorization The illustrations were originally created as watercolors by Jean-Gabriel Domergue and were then lithographed and colored by Maurice Beaudet, a skilled lithographer known for his expertise in translating watercolor works into lithographic prints. The lithographs maintain the soft, delicate quality of the original watercolors, ensuring that the vibrant yet subtle color palette enhances the overall aesthetic of the book. Beaudet’s work brings Domergue’s illustrations to life on the printed page, allowing the colors to evoke the romantic and emotional atmosphere that the poetry conveys. This collaboration between artist and lithographer demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship and artistic synergy, making the book not only a literary work but also a piece of fine art. Edition Details and Production The edition of "Quand on parle d'amour" was printed in a limited run of 350 copies, making it a rare and sought-after collector’s item. The breakdown of the edition is as follows: 280 copies were printed on vélin du Marais, a high-quality French paper known for its durability and fine texture. The copy in question is numbered 80, one of the 280 copies on this prestigious paper. In addition to its rarity, this particular copy is enriched with autograph inscriptions from both the author, Pierre Harel-Darc, and the illustrator, Jean-Gabriel Domergue. These handwritten dedications on the half-title page add significant value to the book, making it a unique item with personal connections to its creators. Condition This copy of "Quand on parle d'amour" is described as very well preserved, with the contents of the book itself remaining in excellent condition. However, the slipcase that originally housed the book has suffered some damage over time. While this affects the exterior packaging, it does not diminish the overall value of the book, especially given the excellent condition of the interior pages and the added significance of the autographed inscriptions. Rarity and Collectibility The rarity of this book, combined with the fame of Jean-Gabriel Domergue and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its production, makes it a highly collectible piece. The limited edition run, high-quality paper, and lithographs, combined with the personal touches of signed inscriptions, ensure that this book holds significant value for collectors of fine art books and illustrated literature. Moreover, the lithographs by Domergue, executed by Maurice Beaudet, make this edition a prime example of mid-20th-century French book production, where the interplay between poetry and visual art was celebrated and revered. Collectors with a particular interest in Jean-Gabriel Domergue's work or those focused on illustrated French books...

Diana - 'Stare'

David Koppel served his photographic apprenticeship in the rough-and-tumble world of the Fleet Street paparazzi in 1980’s London when his skills captured the very essence of the Me Decade that gave birth to the celebrity culture of today. Koppel’s classic photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & the Royal Family appeared in every major newspaper and magazine and marked him out as that rarity amongst press photographers: the artist with a camera. Building on the reputation gained through the photographs for the book Still Waters, his black-and-white portraits of ordinary people now rank among the many famous names in his portfolio. Koppel also went one better and in 2002 bought the St Giles St Gallery , bringing the best of local and international contemporary art and photography to Norwich, including the works of Sir Peter Blake, Terry O’Neill, David Bailey, Maggie Hambling, Storm Thorgersson, Tim Woolcock...

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Le Chapeau Épinglé (2e planche).
Located in Los Angeles, CA
PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR Le Chapeau Épinglé (2e planche). Color lithograph, 1898. 600x488 mm; 23 5/8x19 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 200. With the second printed signature in the stone, lower left. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. A very good impression of this important lithograph with strong colors. Renoir (1841-1919) was, along with Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, a founder of the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes, Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs and a key organizer of the 1870s Impressionist exhibitions. He is best known for his renditions of the sensuous and monumental bathing nudes that he produced from the 1880s onward, many of which were inspired by the works of Titian, Rubens, and 18th-century French painters such as Boucher and Fragonard. Like many of his contemporaries, Renoir embraced printmaking as a medium that allowed for more freedom of expression and experimentation. Ambroise Vollard, the eminent Parisian dealer and publisher, and Auguste Clot, the famed lithography printer, were both extremely instrumental in Renoir's foray into printmaking. They greatly encouraged and facilitated his practice of the medium. Vollard met Renoir during the height of Renoir's career and saw the opportunity for lithography to help disseminate the artist's ever popular work, and Clot worked closely with Renoir to masterfully capture the delicate quality of his pastels in color lithography. Renoir began producing lithographs and etchings in the late 1880s and created an oeuvre over the following two decades consisting of 25 etchings and 29 lithographs, many of them commissioned for various albums or books. His most famous prints reproduce popular compositions he had established in earlier paintings. The current lot is based on an 1893 oil and pastel painting which represents the artist Berthe Morisot's daughter pinning a flower on her cousin's hat. The same subject was reproduced in a series of etchings by Renoir...

KACHINA DOLLS FS II.381
Located in Aventura, FL
Screen print on Lenox museum board. From the Cowboys And Indians Portfolio. Hand signed and numbered lower front by Andy Warhol. Numbered 138/250 (there were also 50 AP's, 15 PP's, 15 HC's and 10 numbered in Roman numerals). Published by Gaultney, Klineman Art, Inc., New York. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York. The artwork is in excellent condition. Certificate of authenticity issued by Gallery Art included. All reasonable offers will be considered. In Cowboys and Indians, Warhol interspersed recognizable portraits of well-known American heroes with less familiar Native American images and motifs. It demonstrates his ironic commentary on America’s collective mythologizing of the historic West. Rather than portraying Native Americans within their historical landscape, Warhol chose to portray a romanticized version of the American West. The West that he chose to represent is familiar to everyone and can be seen in novels, films, and television series. Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians suite...

"Various Himochi" Wagashi Festival Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Toyokuni
Located in Soquel, CA
"Various Himochi" Wagashi Festival Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Toyokuni Rare oversized early 19th century 5-tiered woodblock by Utagawa Ichiyosai Toyokuni, (Japan, 1769-1825), a Japanese lord and wife oversee a sekku festival of food, music, and dolls or toys. '"oshi" is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. Many kinds of hishi-mochi appear in this picture of hina ningyo (dolls associated with Hinamatsuri, or the Girl’s Day) from Omochae. The custom of eating special dishes at events throughout the year and at milestones in people's lives has existed since ancient times. This paragraph specifically focuses on the annual event called sekku, and life events that involve eating sweets. Joshi is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. According to the Keiso saijiki, in ancient China, on the third day of the third lunar month, people ate “ryuzetsuhan,” which is the juice of gogyo (Jersey cudweed) mixed with rice flour and nectar. In Japan, there is a record in the Heian period history book Nihon Montoku tenno jitsuroku [839-5] that it was an annual event to make kusamochi using gogyo on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which may have been influenced by Chinese customs. The tradition of eating kusamochi on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar continued after that. By the Edo period, however, hishimochi had come to be used as a sweet to serve on the third day of the third month. A picture of a hishimochi is included in the Morisada manko , which we mentioned in Part 1. According to it, hishimochi in the Edo period were often three layers of green-white-green instead of the now common red-white-green. However, it is possible to see from our collection that not all hishimochi were made in this way. Omochae published in 1857, is a good example. Omochae is a type of ukiyoe print...

ANOTHER DAY Signed Woodcut, Modern Portrait, Black Couple, Brown, Blue, Beige
Located in Union City, NJ
ANOTHER DAY is an original limited edition woodcut by the American painter and sculptor, Otto Neals. The woodblock used to print ANOTHER DAY was hand carved by Otto Neals and printed in shades of brown, light blue, beige, and black on archival Rives BFK printmaking paper, 100% acid-free, enhanced with hand colored accents. ANOTHER DAY is a dramatic, contemporary black couple portrait portraying a man and woman standing back to back, the woman's arm raised up and pointing in front of her. She wears a stark white, bell-sleeved dress and large teardrop shaped dangle earrings and bangle bracelet, set against a dramatic natural wood grain patterned background, a large potted plant positioned on the table in the foreground. The man dressed in a warm brown colored suit, wearing white shirt and necktie, his dignified male profile looks straight ahead to the left of the composition adding visual interest and mystery.
