Lot de 28 ouvrages relatifs à Géricault

Twenty-eight books and exhibition catalogs relating to the work of Théodore Géricault.

This collection comes from the documentation library of the art dealer Maurice Gobin (later his son Francis).
Maurice Gobin was also a collector of Delacroix's works and from time to time we see works by Delacroix from his collection on the market.
In 1935 he organized an important "Exposition de Dessins Aquarelles & Gouaches, par Géricault" (see n.2).

7. BERGER, Klaus. Gericault Drawings and Watercolors. 1946. Presentation copy to Maurice Gobin.
A copiously annotated copy by Maurice Gobin, providing clarification on certain works, calling into question the attribution to Géricault, particularly one of them. Indeed, Berger claims that it was exhibited in 1935 by Gobin (see no. 2), but Gobin asserts (supported by a photo filled with notes) that it is not the same work.
This copy is peppered with correspondence between Gobin and Berger. A first letter from Berger (1945) in which he thanks Gobin for sending two Géricault works (we have found which ones) and the others (about ten pages) after the publication of the book, with vigorous exchanges about Berger's attribution of certain works to Géricault.
