Guido Rey (attribuito a) (1861-1935) - Untitled (The Letter), 1990s
Est: €300 - €400
Photogravure on rice paper cm 29,5 x 20 (cm 20,3 x 15,5 picture) | 11.6 x 7.9 in. (8x 6 in. picture) A member of a wealthy family of French entrepreneurs who moved to Piedmont to escape the persecution against the Huguenots, Guido Rey was related to the Sella family whose footsteps he followed both as a alpinist (a new route on Monte Rosa bears his name) and as a photographer. The two works in the auction show the two passions that accompanied him through his life: the photo-mountaineering one shows Mount Matterhorn, which he himself climbed five times - "La lettera" on the other hand, shows his passion for the portrait. It belongs to a series of tableaux vivantes, where he asked his subjects to act as if they were to pose for a painting. An exponent of pictorialist photography, he was the only Italian to be published in the famous American magazine directed by Alfred Stieglitz "Camera Work" with two works, "La Lettera" and "A Flemish Interior," both from 1908. The fact that this is a photogravure, a very high quality letterpress print, suggests that it was taken from the series made to be included in the copies of the magazine.

Guido REY (1861-1935) alpiniste et photographe italien 6 L.A.S., Turin 1925-1933 au peintre José MINGRET 11 pages in-8 ou petit in-4, 3 à son en-tête. Souvenirs de leurs causeries " d'art et de montagne " : " vous faisiez passer devant mes yeux surpris, une après l'autre, vos admirables études aux reflets doux et brillants, d'une lumière changeante comme celle des glaciers et des roches de la haute montagne. C'était comme si vous égrainiez devant moi un collier de perles précieuses ; et vous avez laissé tomber sur ma table une de ces perles que je conserve et contemple chaque jour avec une joie presque amoureuse. Vous avez compris mon âme de vieux montagnard" (4 décembre 1925)… Il a dû renoncer à écrire, à cause de sa maladie : "je réussis à l'oublier parfois quand je me trouve dans la solitude de mes montagnes et que le soleil sourit sur le Cervin. […] Hélas ! comme était belle l'insouciante jeunesse, privée de responsabilités et d'ennuis et pleine de vigueur" (23 septembre 1930)... Une carte est écrite au dos d'un photographie de la Dent d'Hérens…
