Folio. 12 collotypes plus title-page (inscribed and signed), table of contents with edition notice (signed), and introduction. Loose as issued within printed half-cloth portfolio. (With): 7 letters from Lányi to Schiele, February-August 1917. 13½ pp. The only set of reproductions of Schiele drawings issued during the artist's lifetime and under his supervision: an unnumbered proof copy inscribed by the 26-year-old Schiele to his 24-year-old wife Edith (née Harms) and signed with his monogram. The inscription reads: "Der Maler ist noch nicht der Künstler, - / Es ist der Geist der Kunst geschaffen hat. / zum 30. Mai 1917 / meiner lieben Frau" ("The painter is not quite the artist - it is the spirit that created art. For my dear wife on 30 May 1917"). Poignantly, Edith would succumb to the Spanish flu just over a year later, six months pregnant, followed three days later by Schiele himself. - The portfolio is accompanied by seven letters by the publisher Richard Lányi (1884-1942) to Schiele. In them Lányi urges Schiele to design the title-page himself and encloses a two-page diagram suggesting the layout. He recommends that two identical portfolios should be brought out, one for Schiele's drawings and a second for paintings (the latter was not realised, probably due to Schiele's untimely death). On 26 May 1917 he sends Schiele the "430 (or 435)" title-pages with instructions on numbering them: "Bitte No. 1-400 zu numerieren, den Rest bitte statt der Nummer mit 'Probedruck' zu bezeichnen". Schiele appears to have completed this task on May 30th, when he inscribed the present supernumerary proof copy to his wife. - The introduction page was later signed and inscribed by the writer and critic Leopold Liegler (1882-1949), a friend of Lányi and Karl Kraus, identifying himself as the author of this text: "Diese Einleitung wurde von mir auf Wunsch des Verlegers verfasst" (Vienna, 17 November 1942). - Bolliger, Dokumentations-Bibliothek IV, 489.…

F. Schmidt [.] Landschaft [.] schicken lassen ."The postcard reflects the long-standing and close professional relationship between Kubin and the Piper publishing house, which issued many of the artist's most important literary and graphic works.

Altogether 23½ pp. Approximately 29.5 x 20.5 cm. An extensive and highly important series of letters from Kubin to the art historian Bernhard Degenhart, with whom he maintained a close friendship, spanning the years 1940 to 1952.The correspondence offers a remarkably rich insight into Kubin's artistic production, literary projects, publishing history, and personal life during the final decades of his career. Kubin discusses the development and publication of numerous works, often describing individual projects in detail, among them Die Rauhnacht, Abenteuer einer Zeichenfeder, and Phantasien im Böhmerwald. He comments on the genesis and printing of his books, the difficulties imposed by wartime conditions, and the pressures of censorship and material shortages during the National Socialist era.At the same time, the letters contain many personal reflections concerning his health, holidays, daily life, and leisure activities. His relationship with the publisher Reinhard Piper recurs throughout the correspondence.Particularly revealing is the letter of 13 October 1940, in which Kubin enthusiastically discusses the possibility of a joint book publication with Degenhart. He refers to failed or delayed publishing ventures of recent years, including projects connected with the Rembrandt Verlag and a confiscated Barlach publication at Piper Verlag. Kubin proposes the Schroll publishing house and leaves it to Degenhart to arrange matters.In the letter of 18 November 1940, Kubin sends Degenhart various working materials, including photographs, deluxe editions of Dämonen und Nachtgesichte, and a special offprint concerning the Kubin archive in Hamburg. He refers Degenhart to the archive's founder, Dr Kurt Otto in Halle, in order to provide a solid basis for the catalogue raisonné of Kubin's prints and portfolios intended for the projected publication. At the same time, he expresses concern over political censorship:"die Monographie ist eine Sache für sich Herr P. (Piper) möchte eine auch parteimäßig hochgeschätzte Person zum Vorwort oder Einleitung um sich auf alle Fälle gesichert zu haben daß es nicht wie beim Barlachband mit schwerstem Schaden für ihn [enden] würde"("The monograph is another matter entirely Herr P. [Piper] wishes to have a person highly esteemed also by the Party provide the foreword or introduction, in order to be protected in every respect, so that it should not end, as with the Barlach volume, in the gravest damage for him").The deeply trusting relationship between artist and scholar led Kubin to communicate a wealth of artistic and personal observations. In a later letter he praises Degenhart in striking terms:"Im Gebilde zeichnender Künste sind Sie bestimmt der wichtigste und gültigste Diagnostiker unserer Zeit"("In the realm of the visual arts you are certainly the most important and authoritative diagnostician of our time").The later letters also mention Kubin's receipt of the "Ulysse Prize" at the 1952 Biennale.An exceptional correspondence of major importance for the study of Kubin's artistic, literary, and intellectual world during the final phase of his life.Condition: Occasional minor tears along folds and margins.Provenance: From an important French private collection.Included with the correspondence: One book with autograph dedication to Bernhard Degenhart, dated January 1944 (A.

8vo. 1½ pages. To the painter Rudolf Wernicke (1898-1963): "Da werde ich Vielen eine kl.

4to and 8vo. Together 7 pp. (plus 1 p. in the hand of Hedwig Kubin). With one original envelope. To the Austrian Japanologist and writer Suzan von Wittek (1899-1968), written from Kubin's self-chosen seclusion at Zwickledt during the final years of the war. The letters combine condolence and stark self-observation: Kubin expresses sympathy on the death of Wittek's brother at the front, adding that he, too, has recently lost his younger sister, and reflects on how such losses extinguish "whole parts" of one's most personal lived experience. In characteristic imagery, the correspondence turns from private grief to a wider meditation on mortality and the psychological strain of the period, as Kubin reports hearing of Wittek's efforts to endure "the terrible time" and ends with a confession of his own precarious state: "Liebe und Verehrte! Hiermit auch mein Beileid zum Kriegstod Ihres Bruders. In diesem traurigen Fall kann ich besonders diesmal mitfühlen, da mir vor ein paar Monaten die - um 10 Jahre - jüngere meiner beiden Schwestern starb. Es sinken da gleich ganze Teile persönlichsten Erlebens von uns ins Grab - immer eindringlichere Aspekte von Vergänglichkeitsschauern überfluten uns - Ich höre öfters von Ihnen und wie Sie die so furchtbare Zeit tapfer bestehen - auch wieder physisch gesünder wurden. Ich halte mich hier mitten im Absturz [.]" (22 March 1945; on reverse a one-page-letter from Hedwig Kubin). - Together with a copy of Wolfgang Schneditz: Der Tümpel von Zwickledt. - Some browning due to the paper and damage to edges, otherwise well preserved. - C. Lehner (ed.), "Meine Arche schleuderts auf dem Meere der Nerven " Alfred Kubin - Herbert Lange - Suzan Wittek, Briefe 1938-1954 (Adalbert-Stifter-Institut, 2023).…
