Photo GERICAULT, Théodore || (GOBIN, EITNER, BERGER, BUHLER,  ...). 

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.

Photo [ÉLOGES et PORTRAITS (Collection Bruker)]. 

Manuel Bruker, was born in 1891 in Radaut, Romania. He was three years old when his family arrived in France and settled in Paris around 1894.

After studying medicine and receiving his doctorate in 1917, he became an ear, nose and throat specialist.

Dr. Manuel Bruker was, in the words of Pierre Mac Orlan, a "book lover" with a real passion for art.

In 1926, at the age of thirty-five, he created his own publishing house on the advice of his friend Dr. Lucien-Graux, "the prince of bibliophiles".

Between 1931 and 1963, Bruker devoted himself to what was to be the most original and personal part of his work as a publisher: the creation of Praise and Portraits of Artists. He chose among his contemporaries those whose work he particularly esteemed; collaborating with them, he commissioned prints to illustrate the texts, which were written by writers or art critics often close to the artist. During these three decades Manuel Bruker publishes forty-six Praises and Portraits.
These works, which testify to the publisher's aspirations in the field of illustrated books - Manuel Bruker considered this field to be "a production in which France has been able to take the lead" - have rarely been brought together. They have been the subject of three exhibitions, the first at the municipal library of Toulouse in 1958, more recently at the Meguro Museum of Tokyo in the fall of 2003, and then at the Museum of Fine Arts of Bordeaux in 2005, from whom we borrow this introduction.

A very rare and complete collection of the 34 "Praises" and 12 "Portraits" published by Manuel Bruker.

If most of these works are easy to find, some are rare, such as the portrait of Hasegawa

Most of them are printed at 200 copies, some at 150 or 250 copies.
