XU BEIHONG (sous le pseudonyme de) JU PEON & Paul VALERY & COLLECTIF Exposition de la peinture chinoise

XU BEIHONG (sous le pseudonyme de) JU PEON & Paul VALERY & COLLECTIF

Exposition de la peinture chinoise

Musée du Jeu de Paume, Paris mai-juin 1933, 19x25cm, agrafé.


Musée du jeu de paume, Paris May-June 1933, 19 x 25cm, stapled.

First edition of this exhibition catalogue illustrated with 24 black and white reproductions of the exhibited works. Foreword by Paul Valéry. Facsimile of the René Étiemble handwritten quotation about Chinese painting at the bottom of the title page. Cover slightly soiled, a snag in the centre of the first board, rust staining near the staples.

Exceptional autograph inscription signed by the painter Xu Beihong (nicknamed in French Ju Péon) on the title page: “à Monsieur Auguste Dupouy en hommage de sympathie Ju Péon Paris 1933” (“To Monsieur Auguste Dupouy as a tribute of sympathy Ju Péon Paris 1933”). Inscribed a second time in Chinese on the right margin of the reproduction of the painting by Xu Beihong (illustration # 23), signed by the painter, addressed to the same.

Attached to this catalogue are seven autograph pages by Suzanne Hsu, wife of Dr Sung-Nien Hsu, academic and author of many books on China. This manuscript, contemporary of the publication and entitled “Comment l'art chinois s'amalgame heureusement avec celui de l'occident dans les œuvres de M. Ju Péon”, proves to be a precious and important biographical source for the Chinese painter.

Inscriptions signed by Xu Beihong, one of the most renowned Chinese painters of the 20th century, are very rare and sought-after. This important exhibition at the Jeu de Paume, which he curated himself, is the consecration of the close links that the artist built with France since he entered the École des Beaux-arts in Paris in 1919. The exhibition was organised in the spring of 1933 with the Musée des écoles étrangères et contemporaines and is the first to shine a light on contemporary Chinese art in France. After its success in Paris, the exhibition travelled in Belgium, Italy, Germany and Russia.
