Item Overview

Description

Henry BATAILLE (Nîmes, 1872 - Reuil-Malmaison, 1922)
Poète et dramaturge, le 15 septembre 1905
Épreuve d'époque sur papier citrate
Mention à la mine de plomb au dos : "H. Bataille"
10,7 x 17 cm
Joint : une enveloppe contenant une lettre autographe d'Henry Bataille à Monsieur Dornac : "Cher Monsieur, les deux seules photographies que je choisis sont les deux seules qui soient incontestablement réussies. Si vous voulez bien en retoucher les duretés et les taches du visage, ce seront celles aussi que je vous autorise à publier et à mettre dans le commerce. Ce sont : 1- Celle sur la 1ère marche de l'escalier dont un bras est appuyé au mur de la maison et l'autre accoudé au vase (veston fermé). 2- Lautre qui a un pied sur la 1ère marche et un pied sur le macadam, la main dans la poche du pantalon et le veston ouvert. De toutes c'est la première que je préfère et que je vous prie de publier ou de mettre chez les marchands, de préférence (à condition, dis-je que vous enleviez quelques taches et plis qui durcissent beaucoup, sans pour cela retoucher les traits le moins du monde). Quant à celle de l'intérieur elle est épouvantable comme je m'en doutais!!! D'aucune prise je ne veux qu'il en subsiste une seule épreuve, et je tiens absolument à ce que vous brisiez le cliché, sans même en garder une épreuve pour vous. J'aimerais encore mieux avoir été photographié pour la postérité sur le pont d'un bâteau après 10 jours de mal de mer, que de laisser subsister une gueule pareille qui exprime - et bien au-delà - la torture et le ravage de ces 20 secondes d'immobilité! C'est bien entendu n'est-ce pas? J'interdis formellement ce cliché que je vous prie de détruire. Les deux dernières sont médiocres. La tête la plus grosse ne serait pourtant pas trop mal en retouchant, et en supprimant le corps, et l'autre est tellement vieillie, noircie, tachée etc... que je ne vois pas la possibilité de la retoucher. Tenons-nous en pour le commerce aux deux premières, avec retouches. Je vous en achète une douzaine de chaque après la retouche et je vous prie de me les envoyer. Mais auparavant veuillez m'écrire - avant toute autre chose - si nous sommes bien d'accord. J'y tiens. Et croyez à mes meilleurs sentiments. Henry Bataille"

L'Œuvre nostalgique de Bataille se veut une critique virulente des mœurs de la haute société de la France d'avant guerre
