IACOVLEFF (Alexandre). - Lot 97
IACOVLEFF (Alexandre). Drawings and Paintings from the Far East. Paris: Lucien Vogel, 1922. Folio format, text booklet with yellow silk covers, loose-leaf plates in the publisher’s slipcase, illustrated edition featuring 50 color plates, a portrait of the artist, and 4 in-text illustrations by Alexandre Iacovleff. Limited edition of 150 copies, numbered and signed by the illustrator; this copy is No. 77. This publication arose from the artist’s two stays in China, where he first traveled in 1917 as a student at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. His first trip took him to Beijing and then to Mongolia for two months. He devoted most of his second stay to the study of Chinese theater. It was in Japan, “amid the wooded scenery of the Japanese valleys, so different from the yellow plains of China,” that he concluded his journey (introduction by Victor Goloubew). Ex-libris manuscript. Note: This publication is the result of two trips to China by the artist Alexandre Iacovleff, who first traveled there in 1917 as a fellow at the Academy of Fine Arts. His first trip took him to Beijing and then to Mongolia. He devoted most of his second stay to the study of Chinese theater. It was in Japan, “amid the wooded scenery of the Japanese valleys, so different from the yellow plains of China,” that he concluded his journey (introduction by Victor Goloubew).
