CHINA - LEVESQUE (C.): Reproduction of plants in Tougk-T-Sao marrow. Large album in-8 contemporary brown chagrin, ornate ribbed spine, boards decorated with gilt fillets and fleurons and a cold plate in the center with the epigram "Offert à la bonté par la reconnaissance", gilt edges (minor wear, rare freckling). Unique work, comprising a handwritten title page and 27 plates of flowers, captioned in pen and ink, produced on Moëlle paper, circa 1820. This very fragile paper, known generically and inaccurately as "rice paper", was used in the 19th century to reproduce paintings for export to China. Strictly speaking, it is not actually paper, but a thin sheet obtained by unrolling the marrow of a shrub, the "Tetrapanax papyrifera (Hook)". According to the "Manual of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau", the origins of these uses date back to the Daoguang period (1820-1850) of the Qing dynasty, when a farmer from Hsinchu (in Taiwan) named Chen Kuozui, realizing that the thin slices of pith could be used to make artificial flowers, had the idea of extending their use as a medium for water-based paints. From the 1820s onwards, marrow paper production expanded in Taiwan, but the export of paintings on marrow paper was from the port of Cantonn 4 to Europe, America and Japan. European and American merchants trading in China employed local painters to depict artisans, scenes of daily life, various industrial activities and landscapes. The artists combined indigenous Chinese themes with perspective techniques and light effects introduced from the West. Very little used worldwide, pith paper was mainly employed in China, as paper for water-based painting and in the production of artificial flowers. The use of this "paper" to make floral arrangements is by no means classic, and our research has failed to turn up a single example of a similar album that has gone on sale in the last 50 years. The floral compositions in this album, created using this difficult-to-master technique and material, are particularly fine and complex, and have remained astonishingly fresh and in a remarkable state of preservation, despite a few very slight accidents and missing pieces. A very fine and rare album.

We can therefore apply to the Catalogue of this library the title that the bookseller Mérigot l'aîné gave, in 1782, to the anonymous Catalogue of the library of an amiable and intelligent financier, named Desbrière: Catalogue de livres singuliers, facétieux, choisis et amusants. Indeed, in Amédée Rigaud's library, we don't find many works of the dreaded boring genre, which has produced so many remarkable volumes that are respected and never touched. In this library, Theology offers only forty-eight numbers, and even these are only fine books of hours, handwritten or printed, volumes in old morocco with arms, rarities or rather singularities. Jurisprudence has only eight issues, including the Constitutional Charter with figures by Monnet. The Sciences and Arts section is much richer, and there is no shortage of books, large books with figures. But the real wealth of the library is to be found in the Belles-lettres section, and that's what the eighteenth century is all about: poetry, novels, fairy tales, theater, facéties, polygraphs. Then, above all and everywhere, prints and vignettes of the finest selection. [...]" 1875 POCHET-DEROCHE CATALOGUE DE LIVRES PROVENANT DE LA BIBLIOTHEQUE DE M.P.D.

DOUBLE ILLUMINATED FRONTISPIECE In the style of Ahmad al-Nayrizi (calligraphy) and Muhammad Hadi (illumination). Iran, Safavid, Afsharid or Zand period, circa 1720-80 Gold and pigments on paper, each leaf decorated with a purple mandorla inscribed in fine gold thuluth characters on a background of foliage, the medallions on a gold background painted with vines laden with bunches of grapes, gold rules in the margins, the reverse of one leaf with a prayer in Arabic and its Persian translation under an illuminated cartouche. Size: 23 x 14.7 cm (each page) Provenance : Mahmud Khayami Collection of Persian Art, London and Geneva Bibliography: The Khayami Collection of Persian Art, A Concise Catalogue, Vol.I, cat.91, p.104 A finely gold-illuminated frontispiece in the style of Ahmad al-Nayrizi and Muhammad Hadi, from a prayer book, Safavid, Afsharid or Zand Iran, circa 1720-80 The Arabic inscription on the frontispiece is in praise of Imam 'Ali. The refined naskhi calligraphy, set against a crimson background, immediately recalls the work of Safavid master calligrapher Ahmad al-Nayrizi (circa 1682-1722). He is credited with reviving the naskhi style in 17th-century Iran, which remained popular until the Qajare era. Shah Sultan Husayn (r. 1694-1722) employed him on numerous royal commissions. As for the gold illuminations, they are closer to the work of the artist Muhammad Hadi, responsible for decorating the famous St. Petersburg album. The two artists collaborated on a prayer book whose first folios are particularly close to our frontispiece. The manuscript, dated 1719-20, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2003.239). Another prayer book signed by Ahmad al-Nayrizi and probably illuminated by Muhammad Hadi, also dated 1719-20, sold at Sotheby's, London, October 24, 2018, lot 45. The frontispiece is almost identical to ours, with two blue mandorles standing out against a background of gold-painted vines. Judging by the refinement of our frontispiece and the similarities with the New York and London manuscripts, it is possible that it is the work of Ahmad al-Nayrizi and Muhammad Hadi. Lot temporarily imported. The buyer will have to pay import fees, i.e. 5.5% in addition to the hammer price, unless the lot is immediately re-exported outside the European Union.

BEAUTIFUL MANUSCRIPT OF THE KORAN Kashmir, early 19th century Arabic manuscript on paper, 364 ff, each leaf with 15 lines of black black naskh, each in a cloud on a gold background, verses separated by gold lozenges, sura titles in blue thuluth on a gold blue thuluth on a gold background in illuminated cartouches, jadval in gold, numerous illuminated marginal medallions, advertisements, several double pages including the frontispiece, entirely illuminated in gold and blue, endpapers in stamped paper, in its original binding in lacquered papier-mâché with floral decoration, the linings painted with a large palmette boteh. Size: 22.5 x 14.7 cm (leaves) A Very Fine Qur'an in its Original Binding, Kashmir, Early 19th century This luxurious manuscript has been lavishly illuminated. In addition to the first double-page (the frontispiece), which traditionally receives the full attention of the illuminator, this manuscript has no less than seven other fully illuminated pages. These are the pages containing the titles of the suras al-ma'ida, yunis, bani isra'il, al-shu'ara, al-saffat, qaf and the finispice. Like many other Kashmiri Korans, this manuscript is neither signed nor dated, but its style is typical of late 18th- and early 19th-century Kashmiri art. The large "boteh" palmette painted on the lining of the binding is the motif par excellence associated with the decoration of Kashmir's famous shawls. See two fine Kashmir Korans sold at Christie's, London, October 6, 2011, no. 131 and Sotheby's, London, October 8, 2014, no. 42.

WOLFGANG PAALEN (1905 - 1959) Indian Summer Oil on canvas, 145 x 130cm Signed and dated (19)59; inscribed and dated 1959 verso Provenance: John Huston Collection, St. Clerans, Co. Galway; Private Collection, Dublin The main concern is not to operate for eternity, but in eternity. (From Wolfgang Paalen’s scrapbook Voyage nord-ouest, Canada/Alaska 1939). Austrian born artist Wolfgang Paalen was a key figure across many movements that have come to define the artistic landscape of the mid-20th century. On relocating to Paris in the 1930s, Paalen joined the Surrealist group with his then wife and fellow artist Alice Rahon. Initially he was drawn to the creative possibilities of automatism, and this led to the development of his fumage technique. He used candle smoke to make distinct impressions on the surface of the oil painting, resulting in hazy, dreamlike images. Following an invitation from Frida Kahlo, Paalen left Paris in 1939 intending to visit her in Mexico. However, before heading south, he travelled by train across Canada arriving in British Columbia in June. From there he embarked on an expedition across the Indian reserves on the north-west coast, a journey which would spark a life-long interest in indigenous art. He finally arrived in Mexico in September, shortly after the outbreak of the war and joined the group of influential artists, including Frida Kahlo, Diego Riveria and fellow expat Leonora Carrington. In an attempt to bring together the disparate strands of surrealism spread across the different continents, he organized the International Exhibition of Surrealism in Mexico City with André Breton in 1940. This large-scale work, with its canvas covered in an array of bright spots of colour against a white background alludes to his own abstract language that he had developed since the 1940s. His farewell to Surrealism published in the inaugural edition of his interdisciplinary journal Dyn (1942 – 1944), was a public separation from the movement and allowed him to move towards a new experimental artistic approach to exploring the unconscious mind and to look to past and prehistoric cultures which had been traditionally overlooked in the artistic canon. Paalen used Dyn to express new theoretical concepts, such as his own ideas on totemism and totemistic art, new propositions on quantum theory as well as criticism of the philosophical concept of dialectical materialism and western dualism. Paalen was one of the most influential art theorists of the period and his impact on the genesis of Abstract Expressionism and the modern art movement cannot be understated. The Dynaton, as they named themselves were a group of artists from the San Francisco Bay Area including painters Gordon Onslow Ford and Lee Mullican. The word ‘Dynaton’ comes from the Greek κατὰ τὸ δυνατόν – “that which is possible” and perfectly captures the character of this present work by Paalen. There is no sense of beginning or ending in the work. The tones swirl and swim across the canvas or gather in clusters applied in thick layers to enliven the texture of the surface. It expresses an idea of an eternal, never ending universe in which there is a circular, rather than linear, order to the cosmos. Everything is coming and going in an endless cycle. This work was painted in 1959, the year that Paalen died by suicide in Mexico after suffering for many years with bipolar disorder. As a late work it exemplifies a shift in his practice described by celebrated Mexican author Octavio Paz as a “florid tempest,” in which Paalen was inspired by the surrounding landscape of the Yucatan Peninsula. Other examples painted in same year use very similar vivid colour palettes and compositions such as Bougainvillea (Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University St Louis) or Migración de Yucatán (Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico City). The title ‘Indian Summer’ may allude to the flower Alstroemaeria 'Indian Summer' or Peruvian Lily as it is more commonly known, reflecting the orange and yellow tones of its petals. Or it may even refer to the meteorological phenomenon of unexpected spell of warm weather in Autumn. Regardless of what determines its subject matter, it is a beautifully expressive painting that exemplified the intermittent but intensive periods of artistic productivity that characterised the final year of his life.

Ω A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF ITEMS RELATING TO ELIZABETH KEITH (1887-1956) 20TH CENTURY Comprising: 1. a woodblock print entitled 'Forbidden City, Peking', 1935, signed 'Elizabeth Keith' lower right corner, 29.5cm x 41cm; 2. the original wooden key block for the above print, hand-carved with the main structural elements of the composition; the reverse also carved with the brown and green features in the image, 28cm x 42.7cm x 1.7cm; 3. a copy of M C Salaman 'Masters of the colour print, vol.9, Elizabeth Keith', 1933, with a hand-written dedication by Elizabeth Keith inside reading: To Mr & Mrs de Jongh from Elizabeth Keith With Christmas Greetings. 1944 4. a typed letter by Elizabeth Keith, with hand-written corrections and signed 'Elizabeth Keith' in ink, the letter reading: ' Idbury Manor. Kingham. February 8th. Dear Mr de Jongh, I must apologise for the delay in answering you, I had to go to London yesterday, and I am always busy! No women ever take part on the Noh Stage, nor in the Kabuki either, but in the modern present day plays only. (I should not be surprised to hear that has been put a stop to now!) If you would like to get an insight into the psychology of the Japanese, read the 'Year of the Wild Boar' by Helen Mear, it is excellent. The gown worn by Kongo (red) in' Hagaromo' is of the stiffest gauze perhaps 100 years old (many of his robes were much older) it would stand by itself! He wears many garments underneath. I have seen him dressed. He is a very handsome and charming man, I could not associate him with the devils who are fighting our peoples. His son-in-law hates the Militarists. I daresay he has been executed ere this! To return to the robes, they are generally stiff. The green dress is linen, it hangs more softly. He is (Shigiyama) a comic actor, and rarely has as fine garments as Kongo. Green may fade, I do not think the red will fade much, as I have so many 'coats' or 'brushings' of red! As you will not avoid temptation I shall make you a reduction of 25% if you buy two. 'Returning from the Funeral' is almost exhausted, and ought to have gone up in price. You need not decide at once, I shall not be leaving England for some time to come - Alas! I daresay you have heard that Mr Taylor has not been well, shortage of paper and a still greater shortage of staff, make it impossible for them to undertake books for newcomers! I feel it is perhaps the Partner perhaps who is not keen on Korea. We shall go elsewhere when we are ready, I should have preferred having it done by someone we know about! I think I have answered all your questions, please forgive all the mistakes, I taught myself to type not so long ago! With kind regards to you and family, Yours sincerely Elizabeth Keith.' 5. a handwritten letter by a relative of Elizabeth Keith (possibly her sister), composed shortly after the artist's death, reading: 106. Randolph Avenue WG 24.4.56 Dear Daniel, We thank you deeply for your warm sympathy and true appreciation of Elizabeth. Her loss to us is almost unbearable as she was really the centre of much that is left of our family life. She is mourned - truly mourned- by hundreds of friends in all parts of the world! It is good to realise that so many rejoiced in her quality of generous service to all she could help in some way. We so regret that the last years were spent on only caring really for a household instead of pursuing her art!! If only she could have had any peace at the end, but it was all so painful and had she ever left her sick-room she would have had led an invalid's life and we are grateful that she was spared that entailment of liberty. One can't picture her as helpless and she remains in one's memory as bright anyway. My brother-in-law is terribly cut up and had to keep his 90th birthday celebrations arranged for him by staff with a sad heart. Thank you both again. Affectionately yours, Rachel?. G.A.'; And further newspaper cuttings relating to Elizabeth Keith. (a lot) Provenance: according to the owner, the print was purchased by his grandfather, Mr de Jongh, directly from the artist at the Beaux Arts Gallery in London in 1937, and the wood key block was gifted to him by the Keith's family after her death in 1956. By repute, many of the early wood key blocks Elizabeth Keith used were lost in the fire which destroyed the studio of her publisher Watanabe Shozaburo in the 1920s, making this one a rarity.
