Personnage important de l’anarchisme, géographe, Élisée Reclus (1830 – 1905) mit onze à rédiger son ouvrage en six volumes L’Homme et la Terre dont il ne pourra pas voir la publication finale. Il choisit Kupka pour l’illustrer, tâche qui s’étala sur quatre ans pour le peintre/illustrateur.
Si j’ai pu admirer de nombreuses illustrations issues de l’ouvrage dans les différents livres consacrés à Kupka, je ne pensais pas avoir l’occasion de voir passer dans mes mains les six volumes de la première édition. Une occasion comme ça ne se refuse pas et voilà les scans des oeuvres de Kupka. Il a réalisé pour l’occasion la couverture, une image de titre, une image pour l’introduction, trois frontispices correspondants aux grandes périodes, les têtes de chapitres et les fins de chapitres.

Enorme claque dans la gu…En particulier les 3 dernières reproductions.
Mais c’est lui qui aurait du illustrer FROM HELL!(trop tot,trop tard.)
Il aurait fait un très bon dessinateur BD à mon avis.
Bon… un seul com… alors pour une fois je vais poster, histoire de te dire que si tu as d’autres merveilles comme ça, n’hésites pas une seconde !
Ces Tchèques ont vraiment la grâce dans les mains…
Merci à toi
J’ai bien peur que ce soit une occasion tous les dix ans dans le genre :-) Merci pour ce premier commentaire, Sly.
Magnifique. Même avec du poil sous les bras.
Les modes changent…
Difficile de savoir ce qu’apportait le graveur dans la reproduction des dessins, mais en tous cas c’est magnifique.
Malgré tout j’ai souvent une petite préférence, dans cet ensemble, pour les ”vrais” dessins (non gravés) qui font effectivement très modernes (mais je crois qu’on avait déjà parlé de l’immense talent de Kupka, et dans bien des genres).
Merci de partager tout ça, tu as du passer pas mal de temps au scan !
De toute manière, là, il y a un côté ”sérieux” qu’on ne retrouve pas dans son travail qui peut être très léger.
Le plus dur ça a été de trouver le bon réglage de scanner :-)
Superbe découverte pour moi.
merci pour le partage.
Le plaisir est partagé :-)
Oui,grand merci(Je viens à peine de découvrir l’ensemble des images)!
Super . Merci pour le partage . Un régal .
Et je suis ravi de partager.
