Sihouette de sil-hoët et autres silhouettes
-
First edition. A unique original album of 32 coloured artworks by this skilled caricaturist. There are also five pencil sketches included. A hand made portfolio, has an ink sketch with the title to the front board. The leaves are loosely bound into the portfolio with a ribbon, so although held securely, they move loosely. Different pages are of slightly different size. Some have colour caricatures painted up them, others have trimmed paintings glued down. Some have been loosely tipped in. The illustrations are of varying size, and are sometimes varying sketches of the same subject. A lovely collection. From the double page military man on his horse, to pianists, to Pierrot watching on. Most of the subjects are musicians, singers or pianists (including two that are probably Camille Saint-Saëns, the celebrated pianist who gave his farewell concert in 1913). Several of the other musicians and music hall characters have also been identified and their names are pencilled into the album. But there is also a portrait of Anatole France (the only picture with the subject named by the artist), and some of judges. The style of the artist, particularly the exaggerated limb elongation, the confident ink line with selective water colour wash, and the profile poses, is very reminiscent of contemporaries like Sem or Capy. Many of the images are dated between 1908 and 1913. 33cm x 26cm. .
