MARESTÉ Georges Jules known as Géo MARESTÉ (1875-1940) Pan... Lot 47

MARESTÉ Georges Jules known as Géo MARESTÉ (1875-1940) Pan in the tavern Set comprising two preparatory drawings on tracing paper and the corresponding engraving. Unsigned (folds and stains on the tracing paper, one stain on the engraving) Tracing paper - 26.6 x 20.5 cm Etching - Dim. subject: 20 x 15.5 cm - Diam. sheet: 26.5 x 21 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.
