Pierre KLOSSOWSKI (to Maurice BÉJART)
Lettre autographe signée au chorégraphe Maurice Béjart Handwritten letter signed by the writer Pierre Klossowski addressed to Maurice Bejart, dated 4 March 1991.
Paris 4 mars 1991|21 x 29.70 cm|une feuille
Handwritten letter signed by the writer Pierre Klossowski addressed to Maurice Béjart, dated 4 March 1991.
29 lines written in black ink on one leaf.
Just like a poem, this beautiful and passionate letter was written in a long column of text. Klossowski congratulates the choreographer on his autobiography Mort subite published the same year and is amazed that Béjart's literary tastes are so similar to his own.
In the letter, Pierre Klossowski highlights the affinities that link him to Béjart. He devotes a long passage to Mort subite, Béjart's last book about his famous father, the philosopher Gaston Berger: "La miraculeuse Anwesenheit [présence] d'un tel père suscitée par un tel fils ! A vous lire, je ressens cette célébration dans sa piété filiale toute de joyeuse certitude, à la cadence goethéenne du Roi des Aulnes [...]” “The miraculous Anwesenheit [presence] of such a father sparked off by such a son! To read you, I feel this celebration in his filial piety, all of joyful certainty, to the same rhythm as Goethe's The Erlking [...]” He brings up their shared passion for the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, before mentioning an old collaborative project: "Je n'oublie guère votre visite [...] ni votre idée d'un ballet autour d'un Baphomet invisible...” “I hardly forget your visit [...] nor your idea of a ballet based on Baphomet invisible....” Several years earlier, the Baphomet had already been the object of an abandoned theatre project with the Biennale de Venise. The letter finishes with an allusion to Klossowski's “travail pictural exclusif” “exclusive pictorial work”: his huge production of drawings that kept him busy until the end of his life.

A letter of admiration by Pierre Klossowski concerning Béjart's writing talent and his literary influences.
Provenance: Maurice Béjart's personal archives.

Charles BAUDELAIRE
« Voilà un vieillard passionné avec qui il ne fait pas bon se brouiller »Autograph letter signed to Poulet-Malassis about Sainte-Beuve
Honfleur 28 février 1859|13.10 x 20.50 cm|3 pages sur un feuillet remplié
Remarkable autograph letter signed by Charles Baudelaire to Auguste Poulet-Malassis, publisher of Les Fleurs du Mal, dated 28 February 1859 and written in Honfleur. 64 lines in black ink, some passages underlined, housed in a modern black half-morocco folder.

Baudelaire appears preoccupied with the “ Sainte-Beuve/Babou affair,” one of the many controversies following the Fleurs du Mal trial, in which the writer Hippolyte Babou accused Sainte-Beuve of failing to defend Baudelaire during the proceedings.
Excerpts from this letter were quoted by Marcel Proust in his celebrated Contre Sainte-Beuve, where he lamented Sainte-Beuve’s cowardice during the trial of Les Fleurs du Mal and the undue esteem Baudelaire continued to show him.
