(8.6 x 12.7cm) Provenance The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lot Essay Great-grandson to the illustrious poet and novelist Victor Hugo, Jean Hugo’s career as a painter spanned over seventy years. From the City of Light to the Camargue region of the South of France where he retired -a wild, sun-drenched terrain that inspired him - Jean Hugo developed a sensitive art that revealed much of his quiet, often mystique personality. Overall, he produced over 1,000 works, from oils to watercolors, drawings, set designs, theater costumes and even stain glass windows.  A friend of artists Picasso and Max Jacob, and of novelists Jean Cocteau and Raymond Radiguet, Hugo did not seek glory, and in fact found it challenging to live in the shadows of his famous great-grandfather. Picasso himself once said to him: "You should show your work more, you are not as known as you deserve to be; you’re not taking enough care of your posterity." Hugo’s colorful, delicate and meticulous landscapes appealed to a wide range of collectors, including in the USA and particularly in the Philadelphia area as Dr. Barnes was a personal friend of the artist, and exhibited several of his works in his mythical Foundation. An admirer of the Barnes methodology, Sidney Rothberg of course, had to collect Jean Hugo. He, in fact, became one of the most represented artists in his Collection.

        Jean HUGO (1894-1984) - Pen and black ink drawing from 1923

        Est: €800 - €1,000

        Pen and black ink drawing from 1923, very beautiful and moving drawing for its page of history, dimensions at sight: 9 x 12 cm (17.5 x 20.5 cm with its frame) described, located, dated and signed on the back by Jean HUGO: "I made this sketch in Pigueÿ, in August 1923. We see, on the balcony of the Chantecler hotel, in the foreground, Valentine HUGO (1887-1968) reading a book; further away, Raymond RADIGUET (1903-1923) from behind, dictating the Bal du Comte d'Orgel to Georges AURIC (1899-1983), who types it on a typewriter; in the background, the Arcachon basin." Jean HUGO 29-XII-1981. "The Hugos arrived yesterday. Auric plays the piano on a typewriter. Radiguet dictates his novel to him (Le Bal du Comte d'Orgel)." Extract from a letter from Jean COCTEAU to Paul MORAND dated July 27, 1923 and located in Le Pigueÿ (Gironde) “It was during our “vacation” at Le Piquey that I, with what joy on the contrary, “typed” the Count of Orgel’s Ball. I was not a virtuoso on the typewriter, to tell the truth a detestable typist. Through my fault, our work often became of a length which risked appearing hopeless. I dare not imagine what Radiguet could legitimately think of it. As for me, I rejoiced at the end of each page, just waiting to start the next one." Georges Auric “When I was there” Ed. Grasset - 1979, p. 147. Raymond RADIGUET will die of Typhoid fever, three months after Jean HUGO's drawing, he was 20 years old.

Dessin à la plume et encre noire de 1923, très beau et émouvant dessin pour sa page d’histoire, dimensions à vue : 9 x 12 cm (17,5 x 20,5 cm avec son cadre) décrit, situé, daté et signé au dos par Jean HUGO : "J’ai fait ce croquis au Pigueÿ, au mois d’août 1923. On y voit, sur le balcon de l’hôtel Chantecler, au premier plan, Valentine HUGO (1887-1968) lisant un livre ; plus loin, Raymond RADIGUET (1903-1923) de dos, dictant le Bal du Comte d’Orgel à Georges AURIC (1899-1983), qui le tape à la machine à écrire ; au fond, le bassin d’Arcachon." Jean HUGO 29-XII-1981. "Les Hugo débarqués hier. Auric joue du piano sur une machine à écrire. Radiguet lui dicte son roman (Le Bal du Comte d'Orgel)." Extrait d’une lettre de Jean COCTEAU à Paul MORAND en date du 27 juillet 1923 et située à Le Pigueÿ (Gironde) "C’est pendant nos "vacances" du Piquey que j’ai, avec quelle joie au contraire, " tapé " le Bal du comte d’Orgel. Je n’étais point un virtuose de la machine à écrire, pour dire vrai un détestable dactylographe. Par ma faute, notre travail devenait souvent d’une longueur qui risquait d’apparaître désespérante. Je n’ose me représenter ce que pouvait légitimement en penser Radiguet. Quant à moi, je me réjouissais à la fin de chaque page, ne demandant qu’à commencer la suivante." Georges Auric « Quand j’étais là » Ed. Grasset - 1979, p. 147. Raymond RADIGUET sera emporté par une fièvre Typhoïde, trois mois après le dessin de Jean HUGO, il avait 20 ans.
