No. io Dans le Ruisseau a Montmartre CATALOGUE OF A NOTABLE COLLECTION OF ETCHINGS BY AUGUSTE LEPERE [1849-1918] Galleries of M. KNOEDLER dc CO. 556-558 Fifth Avenue New York Commencing March 15 th, 1920 FOREWORD HIS son of Paris, had he lived ten days longer would have completed his three score and ten years, a riper age than the majority of the workers in this, his chosen profes- sion. He was not a robust man, it is but natural to suppose that the out-door life he was called upon to lead added many years to it. His favorite resort was in the department of La Vendee, one of the most interesting in France. It is situated on its western front, having six navigable rivers, viz. : Austise, Vendee, Lay, Vic. Sevre-Nortaise and Sevre- Nantaise. These rivers naturally divided the land- scape into marsh land “le Marais” wooded tracts “le Bocage” and “la Plaine,” or plain country lands all presenting to an artist who loves nature, every va- riety and phase of it. The work done here and in its environment is the very antithesis of his physical ap- pearance, expressing strength and firmness, having also a marked individuality and refinement. We do not find any suggestion of a parallel. There was still another part of France where he spent many joyful days, viz.: in the City of Rouen, the old capital of Normandie, situated upon the banks of the River Seine. Here he found some of the 3 most important subjects which he etched or engraved, either upon copper or wood, that will for all time, among the discerning, occupy a very high niche. The diversity and adaptability of this artist’s na- ture was remarkable, for in every branch he seemed to have absorbed each method in all its complicated phases without effort; even in his paintings there is a something which is unmistakably all his own, while in other branches, viz. : drawing, etching, book illus- trating, book-binding and faience designs, engraving upon wood, or drawing upon stone in each arid every method of the graphic arts showing a great range — greater than would seem possible where these fields had already been exploited by so many wonderful and talented artists. He was most avaricious, enthusi- astic, always carrying on, never satisfied, looking and seeking after greater things, constantly studying na- ture in all its phases, whether in the crowded streets, the open country, the sea, the clouds, the wonderful cathedrals, or factories, everything, whether of God’s or man’s handiwork — all appealed to him, all touched a strong chord in his religious nature, for lie had the feeling that the Supreme Being was in everything! Always having with him his pencil and brush he noted down passing scenes, interesting notes, any and everything which appealed to his artistic nature. Often with only a crust of bread in his pocket he would spend the day upon the river or in the field forgetting even that it was there, so absorbed 4 was he in his work, the days were always too short, pres- sing on, seeking, never at rest, trying always to reach the great ideal. His work with the needle is both strong and refined, every tone beautifully expressed, the design and drawing carefully and truthfully ren- dered and all in all most interesting and attractive to the eye and senses. In his wood engraving (these we shall show later) he seems to have gone on where others have left off. In lithography he has left nothing to be asked for. Many able critics have written most feelingly about him. We quote Gabriel Hanotaux, who published the following (extract) in Le Figaro, 2nd December, 1918: “Lepere est le maitre d’un genre que l’Ecole fran- 9 aise avait un peu trop delaisee depuis les grandes epoque du XVII et du XVIII siecle, la gravure origi- nale. En fait il excellait en tout, et quel que flit le procede d’interpretation auquel il eut recours : Pein- ture, dessin, gravure sur bois, eau-forte, gravure en couleurs. Sorti de la lignee d’ Albert Diirer, de Rembrandt et de Callot, il serrait de pres, parmi nos contem- porains, Meryon, Rops, Bracquemond et surtout Vierge. En fait, il n’avait appris des autres que le technique ; mais son art lui appartenait en propre : spontane, abondant, multiple, tou jours semblable et tou jours nouveau. Lepere fut uri grand, un inepuis- able createur. 5 L’ingenieuse fertility de son esprit, son gout de la nature, son intelligence, sa penetration, son tem- perament sincere et, dans un certain sens, religieux, toutes ces graces de son genie et de sa conscience etaient servies par une main ferme, admirablement assouplie et tou jours sure d’elle-meme.” During Lepere’s last moments when his friends were about him he said: “Pourquoi pleurez vous? Re- gardez ces arbres ; leurs feuilles tombent, Je suis une feuille, je tombe a mon tour.” 6 CATALOGUE Auguste Lepkre’s personal friend , M. A. Lots-Bris- sonneau, compiled in 1905, a catalogue raisonne, con- taining all his etchings chronologically arranged, up to and including 1903. We have numbered our exhibi- tion in accordance with the above and have added those issued after 1903; in each and every case, noting the state shozvn, the number published, and date of issue, making in all as complete an assemblage of his etchings as it is possible to procure. This notable collection was brought together by the celebrated amateur, M. Georges Petit-Didier of Paris.
