MONET CLAUDE: (1840-1926) French Impressionist painter. An exceptional A.L.S., Claude Monet, one page, 8vo, Giverny par Vernon, Eure, n.d. (´Mardi soir´; 10th December 1895), to Gustave Geffroy, in French. Monet commences his letter by enquiring ´Et puis mon cher Geffroy, qu´est-ce que cette histoire de Claude Lantier qui n´est pas plus Cézanne que Manet bien que Zola ait eu la pensée de peindre ce dernier et d´en faire un raté´ (Translation: ´And then, my dear Geffroy, what is this story about Claude Lantier, who is no more Cézanne than Manet, even though Zola had the idea of painting the latter and making him a failure?´) and continues to remark ´Plus j´y pense plus je vois là pour vous matière à un superbe article rétablissant en fait et rendant justice au pur artiste qu´est Cezanne. Mais je suis certain que vous avez pensé comme moi´ (Translation: ´The more I think about it, the more I see material here for a superb article restoring the facts and doing justice to the pure artist that Cézanne was. But I'm sure you've thought the same as me´). With blank integral leaf. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Monet. A letter of wonderful content in praise and defence of Paul Cézanne. VGGustave Geffroy (1885-1926) French journalist, art critic and historian, a friend and champion of Monet.Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) French Post-Impressionist painter.The French novelist Emile Zola (1840-1902) had been a childhood friend of Cézanne, encouraging the artist in the pursuit of his chosen career. Cézanne was best man at Zola´s wedding in Paris in May 1870, however by the end of the decade the two men were growing more distant and the unassuming Cézanne, aware of his inadequacies, began to doubt himself. In 1886 Zola, who had become to regard his friend as a failure, published his roman à clef. L´Oeuvre, the fourteenth novel of hus Rougon-Macquart series. The protagonist of the work is Claude Lantier, a revolutionary artist whose work is misunderstood by an art-going public hidebound by traditional subjects, techniques and representations. Lantier does not achieve the realisation of his goals and commits suicide. The book is often blamed for ending the friendship between Cézanne and Zola. The story of a groundbreaking artist unable to live up to his potential must have seemed intensely personal to Cézanne; no correspondence exists between the two after a letter in which Cézanne thanks Zola for sending him the novel.

Referred to by Picasso as the ´house of my dreams´, the large villa (set in three hectares and with views over the Bay of Cannes) would be the artist´s final residence.For Picasso, everything that passed through his hands was immediately transformed into a work of art, and the present letter is no exception.

Once owned by Max Pellequer, the painting is now housed in the Musée Picasso in Paris.

Mary Swanzy HRHA (1882-1978) Pont Du Gard Oil on canvas, 53.3cms x 45.7cms (21" x 18") Signed lower left, and versoProvenance: With Pyms Gallery, London, label versoMary Swanzy was a keen traveller for much of her life, so perhaps it is not surprising that she found the inspiration for most of her best work during time spent abroad. That includes a visit to Eastern Europe and, most famously, the South Seas, but also Paris and the South of France (the latter, notably, in 1918). A notably strait-laced individual, her temperament seems at odds with the bohemian circles in which she worked in Paris: she seemed to relax considerably in warmer, more laid-back  environments. On her way back from her South Sea trip, stopping off with a friend in Santa Barbara in 1924 to paint for a time, she wrote to Sarah Purser,  responding to the idea of visiting Spain: “…for painting, I still long for the tropics.” Perhaps, she suggested, Purser could explore Ceylon with her. “However,” she continues “if one could recapture the rapture of those…days in Provence, one would be tempted.”Van Gogh and, perhaps more than any artist, Cezanne, had established Provence as essential painterly terrain, and Swanzy was recurrently drawn to the South of France, spending time in St Tropez, Grasse and Nimes - the location for this fine painting - and more. Highly regarded in France, she exhibited regularly in avant garden circles. Location and style are often the best way to date her work, and the exceptional freedom and direct observation evident in this work with its atmospheric celebration of warmth and light, seeming to evoke the “rapture” she mentions to Purser, place it apart from her sustained exploration of a form of Orphic Cubism, close to the work of Ukrainian-born Sonia Delaney, (nee Stern) and her husband Robert.It’s reasonable to infer the influence of Cezanne in the colour palette, broad brushstrokes and volumetric organisation of the elements of landscape, with the celebrated Roman aqueduct on the Gardon River mentioned in the title (though the actual structure is simplified in the painting).Born in Dublin (her father was instrumental in establishing the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital), she attended Alexandra College with spells in France, Germany and Switzerland, going on to the Metropolitan School of Art and studies in Paris. Her family envisaged her becoming a portrait painter but she was reluctant if more than capable (society would not take a woman seriously as a portrait painter, she felt). She exhibited widely and consistently even as she travelled. From around 1926 she lived in London while continuing to exhibit in Ireland. Her later work took a dark, allegorical turn, with Surrealist elements and a tendency towards obscure, fantastical symbolism.Aidan Dunne, February 2025

PICASSO PABLO: (1881-1973) Spanish painter, a co-founder of the Cubist movement. A good illustrated A.L.S., Picasso, one page, 4to, Cannes, 17th January 1956, to Max [Pellequer], in French. Picasso writes a brief letter, in full, ´Oui mon cher Max, je les ai recues et 100,000 et plus de fois merci´ (Translation: ´Yes, my dear Max, I've received them 100,000 times over, thank you´). Above his message of three lines Picasso has added an original blue ink drawing in his hand, which dominates the page, and depicts a bottle of wine standing alongside a glass. A simple yet highly appealing illustrated letter on a theme which recurred in many of Picasso´s artworks during his career. Some light, minor creasing and a few small tears to the edges, not affecting the text or illustration. About VGMax Pellequer (1903-1973) French banker and art collector who would become Picasso´s private banker, financial adviser and close friend. Pellequer assembled an important collection of artworks in the 1920s and 1930s which included a number of significant early pieces by Picasso, as well as works by Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and others. Almost two hundred letters from Pellequer to Picasso are preserved in the Musee National Picasso in Paris.´Picasso permanently relocated to Paris in 1904. He spent the remainder of his life and artistic career living in France……Alcohol was an important facet of French artists’ social scene and of their art. Bars, cafes, and other drinking establishments often served as meeting places and hangouts for artists of the generations immediately preceding Picasso, and it is no surprise that they frequently took these places and their wares as subjects for their works……..Picasso, like other artists living in France at the time, was the inheritor of the cultural ripples of alcohol, as well as of the visual themes it inspired….[Picasso´s]…….1896 painting The First Communion, depicts a young woman about to receive her first communion……[this, and other]……works do not prominently feature alcohol per se, although they do reveal an important facet of Picasso’s relationship with wine: wine not only as a religious sacrament, but also as marker of identity……..For Catholic Picasso, wine was not simply a tool for worship, but must also have been a sort of divine vessel, which, through God, became something new and holy. The doctrine of transubstantiation, by which Eucharist wine becomes the blood of Christ, was and remains a defining feature of Catholicism. These works also lay a foundation for Picasso’s later exploration of wine in the very different context of ancient Greco-Roman religion……The Minotaur’s Repose: Champagne and Mistress depict a minotaur and a nude woman reclining on a couch; the minotaur looks over his shoulder towards the viewer, raising the glass of wine in his hand…….The Dionysiac characters of satyrs and maenads (depicted in Picasso’s Bacchanale) also embody the intoxicating effects of alcohol which distance drinkers from the rational mind and, in Greek myth, their humanity…….This is a very different relationship to wine than the Catholic imagery of Picasso’s earlier career evokes, but both imply significance and even a form of reverence. In Picasso’s works, wine can be both transformed and transformative´ (extracts from Picasso: Wine and Art at La Cité du Vin by Paige Crawley, 2022)

The artist sends his correspondent more papers, with his thanks, and continues to provide a snapshot of his relaxed life with his second wife and muse, Jacquelibe Roque, on the Cote d´Azur ´Il fait l´été nous nous sommes baignez au port hier encore et nous aurions pu aller encore aujourd´hui hier ce matin encore sur la plage et dejeuner sur le sable comme jusques à présent´ (Translation: ´It's summer, we went swimming at the port again yesterday and we could have gone again today yesterday or this morning again on the beach and had lunch on the sand as we have been doing until now´), further profusely expressing his gratitude to Pellequer, ´Merci et merci encore pour toute du travail que je vous donne avec tant d´histoire de contributions et maisons. Merci. Merci. Merci. Vous etes très bon pour moi´ (Translation: ´Thank you and thank you again for all the work I give you with so much history of contributions and houses. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are very good to me´) and concluding by sending best wishes from himself and Jacqueline. To further reinforce the joy Picasso has found on his recent visit to the beach, the artist has added a delightful original drawing at the foot of his letter, executed in blue ink and various coloured crayons, depicting a magnificent, bright yellow sun in a clear blue sky, shining upon the deep blue Mediterranean sea, in which two bathers can be seen, and with a beach in the foreground upon which appear a number of other figures, some happily relaxing beneath bright orange parasols. To further illuminate his letter Picasso has underlined each Merci in orange crayon (a total of six times) and also underlined the name of his villa and the date in blue crayon at the head of the first page. A magnificent and rare illustrated letter by Picasso. A few very light, extremely minor creases, VGMax Pellequer (1903-1973) French banker and art collector who would become Picasso´s private banker, financial adviser and close friend.

Referred to by Picasso as the ´house of my dreams´, the large villa (set in three hectares and with views over the Bay of Cannes) would be the artist´s final residence.

A fine A.L.S., Claude Monet, three pages, 8vo, Etretat, 27th October 1885, to Camille Pissarro (´Mon cher Pissarro´), on the printed stationery of the Hotel Blanquet, in French. Monet states that he has been meaning to write to Pissarro for some time and send his news, ´mais vous savez ce que c´est, etant toujours dehors a travailler, on est fatigue le soir et un peu paresseux pour ecrire´ (Translation: ´but you know how it is, being out all the time working, you're tired in the evening and a bit lazy to write´), remarking ´Je pensais rester moins longtemps ici, mais je suis si peu favorise par le temps que c´est le diable de pouvoir terminer quelque chose. J´ai eu beau faire mettre des toiles pour tous les temps, je n´en viens pas a bout d´une, entre les changements de maree, les bateaux qui ne sont jamais a la meme place´ (Translation: ´I thought I'd stay here for less time, but I'm so short of time that it's the devil to get anything done. No matter how many times I've had canvases put up for all weathers, I can't finish one, between the changes in the weather and the boats that are never in the same place´) explaining that he will remain at Etretat for a while longer, in order to make the most of his trip, and therefore won´t be able to attend the next dinners with Pissarro, ´Vous voudrez bien m´en excusre aupres des amis, et leur faire mes amities. Et vous, que faites-vous, et Renoir, Cezanne, Sisley et Durand les affaires, en tout cela un mot et vous serez bien aimable de me mettre un peu au courant´ (Translation: ´I apologise to my friends for this, and send them my regards. And you, what are you doing, and Renoir, Cezanne, Sisley and Durand, the business, in all this a word and you will be very kind to give me some information´). In concluding Monet states that he hopes Pissarro is in good health, that matters are going well for him, and asking for his compliments to be given to Pissarro´s wife and their son Lucien. A letter of good association and fine content, not least for its references to Monet´s work, but also for the mention of a number of other Impressionist artists. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VGCamille Pissarro (1830-1903) French Impressionist painter whose eldest son was Lucien Pissarro (1863-1944) French landscape painter, printmaker, wood engraver, designer, and printer of fine books.Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) French Impressionist artist.

* KEN HOWARD OBE RA RBA NEAC (BRITISH 1932 - 2022) FROM POKHARA, NEPAL watercolour on paper, signed, titled and dated '79mounted, framed and under glassimage size 19cm x 28cm, overall size 38cm x 46cm Note: Ken Howard paintings are about three things. It is about revelation, communication and celebration. By revelation he means giving people a way of seeing, revealing the world around them in a way they have never seen before, opening their eyes. By communication he means revealing the world with a personal language, speaking directly in an instantly recognisable style. He wants it to celebrate life whether it be human dignity expressed by Velasquez or Cezanne, or the wonders of nature expressed by Corot or Monet. For Ken his main inspiration was light and it is through light that he wanted to celebrate his world.
