Copy of the current edition on vellum. Some foxing. One of the monuments of modern illustrated book history, a masterpiece by Swiss painter Carlos Schwabe (1866-1926), a leading figure in fin-de-siècle symbolism and idealism: "Self-taught, Schwabe made a name for himself with his enchanting interpretation of L'évangile de l'enfance, an illustration exhibited at the Salon de la Rose+Croix (...) in 1892. Carlos Schwabe's art is characterized by extraordinarily meticulous drawing, tinged with archaism and distortion, combined with a highly original visionary iconography. He thus established himself as one of the most promising young creators of the idealist trend. At the same time, Émile Zola was completing the Rougon-Macquart cycle, a monument of naturalist literature. The meeting of these two personalities, who seemed to have opposing views of the world, aesthetics and generation, seemed improbable. However, publisher Ernest Flammarion's desire to publish an illustrated version of Le Rêve led to an unforeseen and unpredictable collaboration between the two men. Schwabe's illustrations are based on a free interpretation of the Zolian text, close to a dreamlike, fantastical universe. This surprised Zola, who discovered in his plates "so many things he didn't remember putting in the book". The twenty-six-year-old artist replied with aplomb that he "should have put them there"! (...) The illustration of Le Rêve remains one of the major works of Symbolism: the novel's experimental themes, as well as the confrontation between Zola and Schwabe, made it the setting for a representation of the aesthetic and intellectual conflicts of the time, opposing naturalism and idealism." Presentation of the exhibition "Symbolisme et naturalisme: Carlos Schwabe, illustrateur du Rêve de Zola", Musée d'Orsay 1994 (curators: Rodolphe Rapetti and Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond).
