MARESTÉ Georges Jules dit Géo MARESTÉ (1875-1940) Tramps... Lot 37

MARESTÉ Georges Jules dit Géo MARESTÉ (1875-1940) Tramps Sitting on the Sidewalk Drawing on paper Annotated Drawing for Giono's Solitude de Pan (small tear at left edge) 31 x 24 cm Note: Probably a study for the text Prélude de Pan published in Jean Giono's collection Solitude de la pitié. In bibliophily, this book was illustrated by Jean Jansem. A letter dated December 5, 1934 attests to this collaboration between the author and the artist. The project between Jean Giono and Georges Maresté was therefore aborted. We would like to thank Madame Sylvie Gest, the Centre Jean Giono and the Association des amis de Jean Giono for their invaluable assistance.
