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.

Le Zoo des Vedettes.

More Details >
2000 €

First edition printed at 400 numbered copies (n° 35), with 68 caricatures by Georges BASTIA (1904-1980), on 61 plates, , representing the stars of the show of the time such as Sacha Guitry, Jean Gabin, Gérard Philippe, Madeleine Renaud, Jean-Louis Barrault, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Marais, Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Yvonne Printemps, Bourvil, Michel Simon, etc.

Although bearing the same title and including the same preface as the work published by Éditions Héracléïa v. 1946, this work is completly different.

The rarity of this edition comes from the fact that the quality of the plates which compose it is such that they are often sold separately and sometimes by mistake as original works.
Indeed, each lithograph has een enhanced with gouache by the artist, which gives a kind of uniqueness to each copy.
