Format fort in-4°( 7290 gr ). ------ 1008 pages avec 2781 illustrations. ************************ Présentation éditeur : "" Témoin brillant de la vie parisienne de Louis XVI à Louis-…Philippe, Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761-1845) est un peintre inclassable d une foisonnante diversité, auteur de deux mille peintures, dessins et estampes mais aussi de milliers de petits portraits, véritables photographies d identité de ses contemporains. « Historien des moeurs françaises », il s astreint à un processus de création rigoureux à partir de dessins préparatoires et de nombreuses études peintes qui témoignent d un talent aussi rare qu exigeant. Le prince Youssoupov, le duc de Berry et le duc d Orléans ne s y trompent pas en achetant ses scènes de café ou de mouvements de foule devant les théâtres. Si, dès 1800, le public se presse devant les « trompe-l oeil » de l artiste volontiers facétieux, sa désarmante virtuosité technique fait aujourd hui toujours illusion. Caricaturiste inspiré, il exploite toutes les ressources de la physionomie humaine dans sa piquante série des Grimaces, lithographies populaires et enjouées qui ont assuré sa notoriété au-delà des frontières. Cette monographie attendue de longue date, accompagnée du catalogue raisonné illustré, met en évidence les multiples facettes de l art de Boilly, artiste novateur au style minutieux, dont la curiosité et l humour fascinent toujours.

"A l'occasion du 250e anniversaire de sa naiss…ance, Louis Boilly retrouve sa place parmi les plus grands artistes du "temps des ruptures". La palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille lui consacre une grande rétrospective, rassemblant près de 200 tableaux, dessins et estampes. Ce n'est rien si l'on considère tout l'oeuvre de ce génie prolixe, trop longtemps toisé comme un faiseur : la tradition ne lui attribue pas moins de 5000 portraits et scènes de genres auxquels s'ajoutent autant de dessins. Peintre attitré de la vie urbaine, chargeant volontiers le trait de ses contemporains, Boilly évolue entre le lissé imperturbable des derniers maîtres hollandais et la rudesse caricaturiste d'un Hogarth. Facétieux, parfaitement détaché de l'éloquence révolutionnaire et de la pudibonderie bourgeoise, Boilly saisit le sujet dans son intimité la plus anodine, loin du tumulte des batailles et des emblèmes de la gloire. Ce qui frappe dans sa peinture, c'est sa proximité. L'art accessible par excellence.". Contenu: I. Essais : Pourquoi une exposition Boilly ? (Annie Scottez-de Wambrechies). Boilly, grand ou petit maître ? (Jacques Foucart). Boilly et la Grande-Bretagne au XIXe siècle (Humphrey Wine). Les grimaces (Susan L. Siegfried). Boilly au salon (Etienne Breton & Pascal Zuber). II.

Boilly Aglio Lith. (three boys pointing to an 'ugly' figure) From 1823 to 1828 Boilly worked on a series of ninety-five lithographs, all caricatures representing various human emotions, such as alarm, menace, pain, disgust, or exasperation. "Today, at least outside France, Boilly is best known for his lithographs. Although credited with having drawn the first lithograph in France in 1802, he did not return to the medium until 1822, when he more or less abandoned oil painting. The caricatural aspects of his lithographic work go back to the English caricaturists Cruikshank, Gillray, and Rowlandson and the earlier innovations of Hogarth. His most popular series of lithographs, Recueil de Grimaces, was published between 1823 and 1828. The vignetted subjects of these prints appear to be cut out and applied to a plain background, a format also used by Pigal during the Restoration. The series was so popular that Philipon's printer Aubert re-published it in 1837 under the new title Groupes physionomiques. "The series Recueil de Grimaces, published over the course of five years, included ninety-six lithographs. Boilly's popularity during the Restoration was largely due to this series. The interest in expressive heads had precedent in France. During the late eighteenth century, physiognomy, the art of reading inner character by means of facial expressions, was popularized by engravings illustrating Lavater's well-known Essays on Physiognomy, which may well have influenced the format of Boilly's Recueil de Grimaces' (The Charged Image: French Lithographic Caricature). The son of a wood-carver, Louis-Léopold Boilly lived in Douai until he was seventeen years of age, when he went to Arras to receive instruction in trompe-l'oeil painting at Domenica Doncre before moving to Paris in 1785. Between 1789 and 1791 he executed eight small scenes on moralizing and amorous subjects for the Avignon collector Esprit-Claude-François Calvet (1728-1810), including The Visit (1789; Saint-Omer, Musée Hôtel Sandelin). He exhibited at the Salon between 1791 and 1824 and received a gold medal at the Salon in 1804. These paintings thoroughly observed and reflected all aspects of urban life, its costumes and its habits, between the revolutionary period and the Restoration. In 1823, Boilly produced a series of humorous lithographies entitled Grimaces. In 1833, at a time when his popularity was declining, he was admitted to the Légion d'honneur and the Institut de France. His three sons, Julien Léopold (1796-1874), Édouard (1799-1854) and Alphonse Léopold (1801-1867), were also painters. (Susan Siegfried. The Art of Louis-Léopold Boilly, p. 122-123).

We've yet to identify the French original of Grimaces Pl. 5 but it is likely within the first ten plates of Recueil de Grimaces. "Today, at least outside France, Boilly is best known for his lithographs. Although credited with having drawn the first lithograph in France in 1802, he did not return to the medium until 1822, when he more or less abandoned oil painting. The caricatural aspects of his lithographic work go back to the English caricaturists Cruikshank, Gillray, and Rowlandson and the earlier innovations of Hogarth. His most popular series of lithographs, Recueil de Grimaces, was published between 1823 and 1828. The vignetted subjects of these prints appear to be cut out and applied to a plain background, a format also used by Pigal during the Restoration. The series was so popular that Philipon's printer Aubert re-published it in 1837 under the new title Groupes physionomiques.

Alfred Nash Beadleston, Sr. (1848-1915), partner in the Beadleston & Woerz Empire brewery of New York City, made headlines when, in 1909, the 60 year old Beadleston married 21 year old Helen F. Hazard (1888-1937), daughter of Edward Clarke Hazard of the grocery firm E. C. Hazard and Company, thus uniting stale old beer and ripe fresh groceries in one cart down the supermarket aisle.
