PAUL GUSTAVE DORÉ (Strasbourg, 1832-Paris,1883). "La Defense Nationale". Bronze. Signed.
Est: €500 - €600
PAUL GUSTAVE DORÉ (Strasbourg, 1832-Paris,1883). "La Defense Nationale". Bronze. Signed. Measurements: 57 cm. Paul Gustave Doré was a French German shepherd artist, painter, sculptor and illustrator, considered in his country the last of the great illustrators. He began his artistic training working with Charles Philipo, who published one lithograph a week. Later he received various commissions from François Rabelais, Honoré de Balzac and Dante Alighieri, making him, still very young, charge more than his contemporary Honoré Daumier. In 1853 he illuminated some of Lord Byron's works. In 1862 he traveled through Spain with Baron Davillier. As a result of the trip, the following year he published a series of chronicles on Valencia, Galicia, Andalusia, with specific stays in Granada, Madrid, and other Spanish capitals. The work was included in the collection Le Tour du Monde. In the same decade of 1860, Doré illustrated a French edition of Miguel de Cervantes's El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, based on his life experience in the Spanish geography. Doré later signed a five-year contract with the publisher Grant & Co. This meant that he had to spend at least three months a year in London. The book London: A Pilgrimage, with 180 engravings, was published in 1872. Although it was a commercial success, many critics did not like the publication, scandalized by the fact that Doré showed in his work the poverty that existed in London. He was accused by the Art Journal of being a "fantasist rather than an illustrator", and denounced in other important magazines, such as the Westminster Review. However, the success of London: A Pilgrimage led to many more commissions from English publishers.

Est: €10,000 - €12,000
Gustave Doré (1832-1883) - Carnet de 102 caricatures. Circa 1870. Dessins à la plume et encre de chine sur papier. Chaque dessin : 21x13,5cm. Les feuilles sont collées aux quatre angles sur les pages d'un album de format 27x35cm. Superbe état de conservation des dessins. Les couvertures de l'album sont usées sur les tranches. Quelques petites traces de mouillures dans l'extrémité de certaines pages de l'album. Référence : Un dessin fut exposé au Musée d'Orsay à Paris en 2014 lors de l'exposition « Doré, l'imaginaire au pouvoir ». L'autoportrait de Doré âgé, est reproduit au catalogue de l'exposition à la page 15. Si le talent précoce de Gustave étonnait tous ses contemporains, c'est d'abord par le milieu littéraire qu'il se fit connaître. Il est encore adolescent quand le plus célèbre des patrons de presse, Charles Philippon, lui fait signer son premier contrat. Très vite son talent est remarqué dans les journaux, ce qui permet de diffuser très largement son oeuvre et son nom. Extrêmement populaire, prolifique et innovant, il développa en particulier la bande dessinée, empruntée à Töpffer puis Cham. S'en suivra d'innombrables illustrations pour tous les plus fameux journaux, mais aussi celles de livres, partitions... Mais voilà, si l'illustrateur est couronné de gloires et des récompenses, Doré n'en demeure pas moins frustré de ne pas être reconnu comme artiste. Ce qui sera le regret de toute son existence. Ainsi dans cet album nous le voyons auto-portraituré à l'âge de 62 ans, âge qu'il n'atteindra pas, le front ceint d'une couronne de laurier avec pour légende « Trop d'illustration, pas assez de gloire ». Il est probable qu'il s'agisse d'un recueil personnel, montré à un cercle restreint d'amis et proches pour les divertir. Il y dépeint principalement des notables qu'il devait croiser dans sa vie mondaine bien remplie. Avocats, juges, médecins, noblesse, petite bourgeoisie, militaires, artistes, élégantes, politiques...tous font l'objet d'une caricature à la Daumier, assortis d'un nom ou d'une légende peu flatteuse, traduisant le mauvais trait de caractère de la personne dessinée. Il est aussi probable que cette série soit un projet pour une publication, à l'instar du Panthéon des célébrités de son ami Nadar. Ces dessins sont d'une très grande qualité, et explorent toute la virtuosité de cet immense artiste.
