About This Item
In 1956, Orson Welles was staying in St.-Tropez and he began working with watercolor, crayon, ink and gouache, sketching and painting on whatever paper he had on hand to create an illustrated retelling of the Bravade, the festival held every year on St. Tropez's saint's day. Welles writes to his daughter (living with his ex-wife Rita Hayworth) saying "I kept thinking of you, and wishing you could be seeing it too. I've prepared this little picture book to give an idea what it was like." From the d.j.: "Welles called his little book Les Bravades and gave it to Rebecca for Christmas. Creaated with the eye of a director and the hand of an artist, it is now meticulously published to preserve the spirit of the original."
