Henry VALENSI (Algiers 1883 - Bailly 1960) Symphony in Red, 1935 Original oil on canvas 97 x 130 cm Titled, signed and dated upper left Symphonie rouge Henry Valensi 1935 Bearing on the stretcher the handwritten label Symphonie rouge Henry Valensi 11 place Porte Champeret Paris 17e, and the exhibition label n°3282 We would like to thank the Association des Ayants droit du peintre Henry Valensi for confirming the authenticity of this work. Provenance : Loudmer et Poulin sale, Paris, December 4, 1977, n°171 Exhibitions : Salon des Indépendants, Paris, 1936 Henry Valensi La musique des couleurs, Musée du Château des ducs de Wurtemberg, April 15 - September 17, 2017 Bibliography: Henry Valensi La musique des couleurs exhibition catalog, Musée du Château des ducs de Wurtemberg, April 15 - September 17, 2017, page 80, described and reproduced "[Valensi] read a poem and then translated it into musicalist language. The words had completely disappeared and given way to an essentially musical form. The words themselves were incomprehensible. It was real singing. We therefore concluded that by pushing literature to musicalism, we ended up with song, [...] words being only a convention" (Extract from a letter from Louis A. Baudon to Jean-Marue Euzet, April 2, 1936, le Musicalisme thesis, C. Euzet, p. 147). The year 1912 was decisive in terms of aesthetic turning points, both for Henry Valensi and for an entire Parisian art scene eager to renew the art of the turn of the century. Discussions took place in the Puteaux studio of Jacques Villon and his brothers. Henry Valensi was introduced by Francis Picabia and Roger de La Fresnaye to discuss numbers, mathematics, geometry, harmonious proportions and solutions for achieving new graphic compositions. These friendships and intellectual affinities of the Groupe de Puteaux gave rise to the Groupe de la Section d'or, a decisive milestone in the history of Cubism. Henry Valensi was one of the "Five" who organized the famous October 1912 exhibition in the vast premises of the rue de la Boétie: Albert Gleizes, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Metzinger, Francis Picabia and himself. The youngest among them, Valensi, took on the role of secretary, and at the same time discovered his ability to bring people together. The Association des artistes musicalistes Constituted on March 4, 1932 at the home of its President, 11 place de la Porte Champeret, Paris, published this MANIFESTO at the beginning of April 1932: Manifeste du groupe des peintres "les artistes musicalites". [...] Now, the art that offers the most, dynamism, rhythm, harmony, science, synthesis... is Music. That's why we're aware here that, from an aesthetic point of view, the musical spirit predominates in our time, and that, to continue traditionally translating our Life, Art must become musicalized". In reality, this influence of the predominant Music has already developed, but unconsciously, in all the arts, in all artists who can feel "sensitive and creative", and simultaneously in several countries. We're already saying "musicalized": the architecture that today springs up from the banks of the Spree to the Moroccan shores of the Atlantic, the sculpture of Archipenko or Lipchitz, the painting of the French Impressionists and Cubists or the Italian Futurists, and finally literature, because of Mallarmé or Proust. As for music, today's sovereign among the arts, hasn't it freed itself from the religious pictorial spirit of the Middle Ages and the philosophical literary spirit of the Diderots?
