Provenance: from the library of Jacques Levy, his sale, Sotheby s, 20th April 2012, lot 178 Limited issue, number 25 of 85 numbered copies signed by Jacob and Derain of a total edition of 106. Les Oeuvres Burlesques is the second volume in Jacob s trilogy about his alter ego Victor Matorel, which began with Saint Matorel and ended with Le Siege de Jerusalem , both illustrated by Picasso. All three titles were published by Kahnweiler. Derain, French painter, sculptor, illustrator, stage designer and collector, was a leading exponent of Fauvism. "In early 1908 he destroyed most of his work to concentrate on tightly constructed landscape paintings, which were a subtle investigation of the work of Cézanne. After World War I his work became more classical, influenced by the work of such artists as Camille Corot. In his sculpture he drew upon his knowledge and collection of non-Western art" (for Grove Art online). Artists Books in the Modern Era, page 21; Chapon page 179.
