PICASSO (Pablo) - ARAGON (Louis). Five sonnets by Petrarch. S.l. À la fontaine de Vaucluse, 1947. - In-4, 330 x 254: (26 ff. first and last two blank), printed cover. Paperback, lined cover. Cramer, no. 47. Bilingual edition of this selection of 5 sonnets by Petrarch. The anonymous French translation is by Louis Aragon. "This book, published "A la Fontaine de Vaucluse" in 1947, includes 5 sonnets from the Canzoniere, nos. I, CLXXVI, CLXXXVII, CII, CCLXXXIII. They have been freely translated into French by a translator who wished to remain anonymous, but who, having left his mark in the epigraph, introduction and autograph proverb at the end of the book, is easily recognizable. It's Louis Aragon, paying tribute to Elsa Triolet, his companion from Russia, whom he met in 1928, after a suicide attempt, and who changed his life in so many ways" (Cramer). Only 110 copies of this edition were printed on Arches vellum, illustrated with a full-page ORIGINAL EAU-FORTE BY PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973), dated on the copperplate "9 janvier 45" (138 x 188 mm), unsigned. "Picasso's engraving shows a beautiful oval face surrounded by abundant hair. There's nothing to prevent us from seeing in it an idealized portrait of Laure-Elsa, who, on that January 9th, was already taking on, for Picasso, the features of Françoise Gilot. It remains to be noted that, on the same January day, Picasso made the engraving for Le Marteau sans maître, showing the surrealist transformation of the same face" (Cramer). All copies bear a different autograph proverb by Louis Aragon. In this one, number 45, he wrote: "45 - Il n'est ombre // que d'étendards." A copy by the French-Tunisian writer and essayist Albert Memmi (1920-2020), enriched with this autograph letter signed by Louis Aragon on the false title: to Albert Memmi // for his patience // and my concern // Aragon Dusty cover, two traces of wetness on the lower edge of both covers, small tears at the bottom of the spine.
