Résumé

This study publishes the letters addressed by Edouard Manet 1832-1883) to his friend, the artist Félix Bracquemond (1833-1914). The correspondence, for the most part unknown, surfaced at a sale in Paris in June 2016 and was acquired the next year by the Fondation Custodia with the generous help of Jean-Luc Baroni. It is presented here for the first time by Jean-Paul Bouillon, whose lifelong occupation with Bracquemond's life and work has enabled him to situate the mostly undated letters accurately and discuss their contents in the context of both artist's careers. The Fondation Custodia Studies in the History of Art are published in continuation of the scholarly tradition established by the founder of the Fondation Custodia, Frits Lugt. The first volume of the series, Guillaume Jean Constantin (1755-1816) : A Drawings Dealer in Paris, by Joachim Jacoby, was published in 2019. It was found to be "Rigorous, meticulous yet readable" (The Burlington Magazine) ; "Thoroughly researched and elegantly designed" (Print Quarterly) ; "Un outil de travail de premiere importance pour mut collectionneur de dessins anciens, historien ou professionnel du marché (Gazette de Drouot).
