Notes: From the folio, Édouard Manet, Letters with Aquarelles, 1944. Published by Pantheon Books, New York; rendered and printed by Raymond and Raymond, Inc., New York. Excerpted from the folio, The twenty-one letters of Édouard Manet were reproduced in Pochoir Process by Raymond and Raymond, Inc., New York. CCCXLV examples were printed. Suddenly, at forty-eight, after a life of effort and struggle, Édouard Manet found himself under doctors' orders to quit Paris, where alone it seemed to him he could exist. He was to rusticate quietly who detested the country. Before leaving for Bellevue where he was to spend the summer, Manet at the close of May 1880 insisted on arranging an exhibition of his pastels in Paris. It was held at the gallery of La Vie Moderne', a bi-monthly sponsored by the publisher Charpentier, or rather, by his wife. A pastel portrait of Mme. Charpentier's sister, Mile. Lemonnier, figured in Manet's exhibition, the last of his to be arranged in his lifetime. It would appear that though the painter had only recently made the young lady's acquaintance, she had made a deep impression on him. For, scarcely had he arrived in the country than he began sending her the little illustrated notes which form the greater number of the twenty-one letters here reproduced. Mlle. Lemonnier showed herself in no particular hurry to respond. Eager, however, to keep in touch with the world from which he was in exile, the artist refused to be discouraged and frequently met her silence with fresh sketches. The majority of the letters reproduced here are the property of the Louvre. ÉDOUARD MANET (1832-1883) was a French modernist and impressionist painter. He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, as well as a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Born into an upper-class household with strong political connections, Manet rejected the naval career originally envisioned for him; he became engrossed in the world of painting. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) or Olympia, "premiering" in 1863 and '65, respectively, caused great controversy with both critics and the Academy of Fine Arts, but soon were praised by progressive artists as the breakthrough acts to the new style, Impressionism. Today too, these works, along with others, are considered watershed paintings that mark the start of modern art. The last 20 years of Manet's life saw him form bonds with other great artists of the time; he developed his own simple and direct style that would be heralded as innovative and serve as a major influence for future painters.

A year later, he moved to the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.

In this context, he frequented artists such as Joseph Inguimberty...

Verdes, Loir et Cher, France
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork titled "Verdes, Loire et Cher, France" is an original lithograph by American artist Teall (La Verne Teall) Messer, 1897-1977. It is hand signed, titled, dated and numbered 36/40 in pencil by the artist. The image size is 10.65 x 13.65 inches, the sheet size is 14 x 21.5 inches. It is in excellent condition, especially considering the age of this piece. About the artist: Born in Dixon Illinois in 1897, Teall Messer dropped the name Lavern as soon as he came "of age". He went to New York to be an artist and intellectual. He hung out with the playwrights of the time and ended up with an award from the Rockefellers to go to Paris and study painting. This was in the 1920's. He stayed for several years in Paris being the stereotypical American painter there. He had contact with at least some of the famous painters and shared a studio with Alexander Calder. One story was that he and Alexander were dating two French sisters. The girls' mother told them to drop the Americans as they would never make much money. That was true for Teall, not so for Calder. He also knew Brancusi well enough to have a signed sketch dedicated "á Teall Messer avec amour". He knew Gertrude Stein well enough to heartily dislike her, considering her a phony. In France Teall married a member of the Byrd...
