SAINT-AMANT (Marc-Antoine Gérard, dit De): La Rome ridicule du sieur de Saint Amant - Roma contrafatta del Signore di Saint Amant. S.n, s.l., s.d. One volume. 7 by 12 cm. 103 pages. Contemporary full calf, 5-rib spine, ornate bindings. Minor wear to corners, otherwise very good condition. "Marc-Antoine Gérard, sieur de Saint-Amant (Rouen 1594 - Paris 1660 or 61) is less famous for his poetry than for his debauchery, gluttony and drunkenness. He stayed in Rome in 1633, following in the footsteps of Marshal de Créquy, who had gone to negotiate the secret marriage of Gaston d'Orléans (brother of Louis XIII) and Marguerite de Lorraine with Pope Urban VIII. Saint-Amant had little taste for the Eternal City: a keen observer, he took pleasure in criticizing the city's monuments and fountains in his poem, deploring the cruelty and exuberance of Italian mores, as well as the general greed for gain. In turn, overly prudish matrons and jealous husbands are mocked, while the life of the common people in Rome's bustling streets is colorfully described, as the poet grumbles about the poor quality of food, drink and lodgings. Burlesque, vitriolic and at times crude". The work is considered one of the masterpieces of Baroque literature. Its 1st edition was published in French in 1643. A rare late 17th-century bilingual French and Italian edition of these irreverent CI poems, of which no trace has been found. The Italian translation in rhyming verse seems a form of provocation, given what is said about Rome. One line is retouched (poem VII)...

BRETON (André). Trajectoire du rêve. Paris, G L M, 1938. In-8 paperback, printed cover. First edition printed in 325 copies; n°62 of 300 on bibliophile vellum, enriched with a very fine E.A.S. from the author to his friend and patron Edmond BOMSEL. Lawyer, bibliophile and collector, patron of several Surrealists and numerous artists, he financed the opening of André Breton's Gradiva gallery (1937), was one of the founders of Dubuffet's Compagnie de l'Art Brut (1948) and was also administrator of the Sagittaire publishing house. "The dream is a gaze plunged into infinity / Something blue like a corner of legend / A very shiny jewel that the sun tarnishes / Perhaps the only fruit that the day defends us... / (at least that's the idea I had in 1911, the date of the poem from which I extract this quatrain for my friend Edmond Bomsel) / André Breton / fifty years later!

PETER LIK (Australia, 1959). "Ocean glow". Photograph. Limited edition, copy 347/950. Framed in methacrylate. Signed and with holographic seal of the artist on the back. Measurements: 65,5 x 99,5 cm. Ocean Glow is a view of Maui, Hawaii, a work that the artist has described as follows: "Immersing myself in the ocean brought me closer to the soul of Mother Nature. Like a surfer, I was glued to the surf report for two weeks waiting for something to happen, waiting for the perfect wave. The colors of the sunrise were the key to this photo: I wanted the kaleidoscope to be reflected in the wave. Finally a swell was predicted. That night I gathered my gear and tried to sleep. This new experience was like my first shoot: I barely slept a wink. When the sun came up, my expectations were high: I knew the photo was there. After hours of Mother Nature beating me in the waves, I shot wave after wave like a madman: it was an addiction." Peter Lik is an Australian photographer known for his images of nature and panoramic landscapes. He hosted the program From the Edge with Peter Lik, which aired for one season on The Weather Channel. Lik was born in Melbourne to Czech parents who emigrated to Australia after World War II. He took his first photo at age 8, when his parents gave him a Kodak Brownie camera for his birthday. In his youth, Lik took his camera on family vacations and photographed country scenes and the ocean. This practice continued on his road trips out of town and into the Australian wilderness, often accompanied by his friend and fellow photographer Michael Plumridge. As a photographer, Lik is self-taught, learning mostly by trial and error. In 1984, Lik made his first trip to the United States, touring the country for a year in an old van. While in Alaska, he was introduced to panoramic cameras and large format photography. Upon his return to Australia, he continued to experiment with the panoramic format. In 1989, Lik returned to the United States and undertook a project to photograph landscapes in all 50 states. He sold some of the photos for use in calendars and postcards. Later, photos from the project were compiled into his 2003 tabletop book, Spirit of America.In the early 1990s, Lik worked for the Queensland (Australia) Department of Tourism, traveling in the Outback and photographing little-known areas. In 1994, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he opened Lik USA, which includes a workshop for printing and framing his photos. In the mid-1990s, he founded his own publishing company, Lik Publishing. After winning the Art in Nature category of the 2010 Windland Smith Rice International Windland Smith Rice Awards for Best Nature Photography, "Ghost" (taken in Antelope Canyon, Arizona) was selected as part of a May 2011 exhibition of nature photography at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

MANOLO HUGUÉ (Barcelona, 1872 - Caldas de Montbui, Barcelona, 1945). "Bullring". Watercolor on paper. Measurements: 17 x 23 cm; 45 x 50 cm (frame). What we call immobility is nothing more than a limiting case of slowness in movement, an ideal limit that nature never achieves. This was written by the French philosopher Henri Bergson, and this same principle is materialized by these bullfighters of Manolo Hugué, whose postures translate the dense tension of the instant in the ring. Manuel Martínez Hugué, Manolo Hugué, was trained at the Escuela de la Lonja in Barcelona. A regular participant in the gatherings of "Els Quatre Gats", he became friends with Picasso, Rusiñol, Mir and Nonell. In 1900 he moved to Paris, where he lived for ten years. There he resumed his relationship with Picasso, and became friends with other avant-garde theorists such as Apollinaire, Modigliani, Braque and Derain. In the French capital he worked on the design of jewelry and small sculptures, influenced by the work of his friend, the sculptor and goldsmith Paco Durrio. In 1892 he worked with Torcuato Tasso on decorative works for the celebrations of the centenary of the Discovery of America. Between 1910 and 1917, completely dedicated to sculpture, he worked in Ceret, where he gathered a heterogeneous group of artists among whom Juan Gris, Joaquín Sunyer and, again, Picasso stood out. During these years he held exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris and New York. In 1932 he was appointed member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Jorge in Barcelona. In Hugué's work, what is essential is the relationship with nature, taking into account the human figure as an integrated element in it. This is a characteristic of Noucentista classicism, but in Hugué's hands it goes beyond its limited origins. He usually represented peasants, although he also depicted bullfighters and dancers -as can be seen on this occasion-, always portrayed with a level of detail and an appreciation of the textures that reveal his former training as a goldsmith. In his artistic production coexist the Mediterranean tradition, Greek classicism and archaism, and the art of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, with the European avant-garde that he assimilated and knew firsthand, specifically Matisse's Fauvism and Cubism. Works by Hugué are kept in the MACBA, the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Reina Sofia National Museum and Art Center, among many others.
