Paris: Jean-Jacques Pauvert, 1952. Estampe. Illus. by Hans Bellmer. Très bon. Aucune reliure. Signé par l'illustrateur. Ed. originale. 32,5 x 25 cm (feuille), 16,5 x 12 cm (sujet). Rare épreuve d'artiste, tirée sur vélin et signée de cette gravure pour le frontispice de l'édition du Con d'Irène donnée par Jean-Jacques Pauvert en 1952. Le livre, tiré à 100 exemplaires, est rare.

(DUTEL, 1764).

This collection of original material of Jerome Myers includes two photographs of Jerome Myers, taken by Leo Grubman, one taken in 1910 [when they shared an art gallery and studio] and signed by Leo Grubman, the other taken by Grubman circa 1932. There is a photograph of his wife Ethel (photographer not identified). After his success at the Armory Show in 1911 with the sale of his painting "The Mission Tent" he was able to move into a new studio at the new Carnegie Hall building. There are two warmly personal letters with biographical items of interest plus some artistic representation. The first letter is to his friend Leo Grubman, dated January 21, 1914, and discusses with pride his daughter Virginia's dance recital and his busy schedule. There is a second letter (lacking the first page) of one page signed "Jerome" and circa 1915 of his move to Carmel, New York where he bought 18 acres in a very rustic setting (where he has made a few nice ink sketches along the margins of the letter). A small corner… Read More
