Administrative Information Acquisition: Purchases and gifts, 1966-2002 Processed by: Monique Daviau, Jennifer Hecker, 2005 Repository: The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Center Lake, Carlton, 1915-2006 Photography Collection PH-00281 Biographical Sketch Over a period of six decades, Carlton Lake gathered together what has become the most extensive collection of modern French literary research materials anywhere outside of Paris. He collected books, photographs, artwork, and other original documents in addition to manuscripts. The collection covers a broad range of French writers, artists, and musicians, such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Samuel Beckett, André Breton, Albert Camus, Céline, Jean Cocteau, Colette, Debussy, Marcel Duchamp, André Gide, Alfred Jarry, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Ravel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Erik Satie, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Valéry. Carlton Lake was born in Brockton, Massachusetts on September 7, 1915. He attended Boston University and graduated summa cum laude in 1936, followed by a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University in 1937. During World War II he served in the U.S. Marine Corps. After the war, he pursued his doctorate at New York University, but ultimately abandoned his dissertation to become a freelance writer. From 1950 to 1965 he was Paris art critic for The Christian Science Monitor. He also contributed to a number of other American and European periodicals, such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, Town and Country, and The Atlantic Monthly, which published his interviews with such artists as Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, Henry Moore, and Giacometti. Lake also co-edited A Dictionary of Modern Painting in 1956 and wrote, edited, and translated books about Marc Chagall, Picasso, and Salvador Dali. Carlton Lake came to the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center in 1968, ultimately serving as Curator of the French Collection, Acting Director, and Executive Curator. His impressive collection of French materials was added to the Ransom Center collections in the late 1960s. In 1976, the collection was the subject of a major exhibition, Baudelaire to Beckett, which focused international scholarly attention on its strong manuscript resources, numbered approximately 350,000 pieces. Since then, other significant exhibitions based on Carlton Lake Collection material have been devoted to Samuel Beckett (1984) and Henri Pierre Roché (1991). In addition, art and literary materials from the Collection have been loaned to many French, European, and American exhibitions held by such institutions as the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Grolier Club, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Lake Collection has also been a principal source for two literary exhibitions held at the Centre Pompidou: Paris -New York, and Les Réalismes. In 1985 Lake was decorated by the French government and inducted into L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres with the rank of Chevalier; later he became an Officier. In 1990, he published his memoirs, Confessions of a Literary Archaeologist, detailing his adventures purchasing and collecting French literary materials. In 2003, Lake retired from the Ransom Center with the title of Executive Curator Emeritus. Lake died on May 5, 2006 at the age of ninety. 2 Lake, Carlton, 1915-2006 Photography Collection PH-00281 Sources: Ashton, Linda. Biography of Carlton Lake. Unpublished. Lake, Carlton. Confessions of a Literary Archaeologist. New York: New Directions, 1990. Scope and Contents The result of six decades of collecting French literary materials, Carlton Lake's photograph collection is a comprehensive gathering depicting important French literary and artistic figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The photographs are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by the name of the person who either owned or is the subject of the photographs, and date from the 1850s through the 1970s (bulk 1900-1960), though most are undated. Carlton Lake collected photographs from such artists as Walter Arensberg, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, Constantin Brancusi, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean Cocteau, Colette, Gustave Coquiot, Paul Fort, André Gide, Sisley Huddleston, Valentine Hugo, James Joyce, Marie Laurencin, Pierre Louys, Man Ray, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Maurice Ravel, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri-Pierre Roché, John Quinn, Erik Satie, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Paul Valéry, Emile Vuillermoz, and Beatrice Wood. These photographs mostly depict the artist and his or her friends and family. There are also many interior design photographs as well as pictures taken at art galleries and of art collections. Photographs of Cocteau's production of Romeo and Juliet are located here, as is Vuillermoz's collection of celebrity portraiture. A large collection of personal photographs of Henri Pierre Roché and his friends and family is also present. An Index of Subjects is available in this finding aid. Photographers represented in this collection include Robert Capa, Robert Doisneau, Cecil Beaton, Fritz Henle, Jacques Faujour, Nadarz, Man Ray, Darthea Speyer, Ella Maillart, Claude Michaelides, Soichi Sunami, Waléry, Roger Villiers, Carl Van Vechten, André Lefebvre, Suse Byk, Georges Alliè, Constantin Brancusi, Françoise Gilot, Richard Heyd, and Emile Otto Hoppé, among others. Consult the Index of Photographers included in this finding aid for a complete listing of identified photographers. Types of photographs included in this collection include portrait photography, family snapshots, series by renowned photographers of prominent artists, vacation photos, annual school portraits, wedding albums, custom postcards, and slides. Largely composed of black and white silver gelatin prints, the collection also includes daguerreotypes, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, photographic postcards, and a few photocopies of prints. Some of these photographs are duplicates and some have an accompanying negative. Prior to 1990, photographs were routinely separated from manuscript collections during 3 Lake, Carlton, 1915-2006 Photography Collection PH-00281 Prior to 1990, photographs were routinely separated from manuscript collections during cataloging at the Ransom Center. This collection was formed in this manner and now forms part of the Literary File Collection. Most photographs accessioned since 1990 have been kept with related manuscripts.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

Mischa Twitchin Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 1 The Theatre of Death: the Uncanny in Mimesis (Abstract) The aim of this thesis is to explore an heuristic analogy as proposed in its very title: how does a concept of the “uncanny in mimesis” and of the “theatre of death” give content to each other – historically and theoretically – as distinct from the one providing either a description of, or even a metaphor for, the other? Thus, while the title for this concept of theatre derives from an eponymous manifesto of Tadeusz Kantor’s, the thesis does not aim to explain what the concept might mean in this historically specific instance only. Rather, it aims to develop a comparative analysis, through the question of mimesis, allowing for different theatre artists to be related within what will be proposed as a “minor” tradition of modernist art theatre (that “of death”).

  • Jacques COPEAU Né Le 4 Février 1879 À 10H Du Matin À Paris 10E Selon Acte N° 598 – Archives De Paris En Ligne – V4 E 3760 – Vue 10/31
    Qu’aurait été le monde du théâtre de la 1ère moitié du 20e siècle, sans ce grand novateur des arts et des lettres ? Jacques COPEAU Né le 4 février 1879 à 10h du matin à Paris 10e Selon acte n° 598 – Archives de Paris en ligne – V4 E 3760 – vue 10/31 Décédé le 20 octobre 1949 à Beaune Côte-d’Or 21 Dans le théâtre du 20e siècle, la pensée cet écrivain et critique laisse une marque majeure au point qu’Albert Camus déclare : Dans l’histoire du théâtre français, il y a deux périodes : avant et après Copeau. En novembre 1908 est fondée la NRF Nouvelle Revue Française, revue littéraire et critique, née d’une poignée de jeunes gens passionnés dont Jacques Copeau. Cette publication fait vite référence et devient l’un des principaux arbitres du goût littéraire en France. Copeau s’indigne contre la médiocrité du théâtre de son temps En rupture avec les productions divertissantes de son temps, il dénonce le mercantilisme et la vulgarité du théâtre ainsi que la médiocrité de la production dramatique. Copeau est un indigné et le clame. Honnêteté, simplicité, sincérité, doivent guider l’indispensable rénovation de l’art dramatique que prône Copeau. Il veut retrouver les lois du théâtre et le dépouiller de ses traditions figées. Sous son impulsion et avec une troupe de jeunes acteurs dont Charles Dullin, Louis Jouvet, Jean Villard… en octobre 1913 ouvre le théâtre du Vieux-Colombier proche du quartier Latin dans l’ancien Athénée-Saint-Germain. Pour le nom, Copeau choisit celui de la rue, pour faciliter sa localisation par le public.

Il quitte l’administration du théâtre le 7 janvier 1941. Marie-Agnès Joubert conclut assez justement : « L’administration de Jacques Copeau ne fut finalement qu’une parenthèse, aussi bien dans l’histoire du Théâtre-Français que dans la carrière de l’intéressé. Les ouvrages consacrés à Copeau demeurent d’ailleurs étrangement discrets sur cet épisode de sa vie. En janvier 1941, acteurs et témoins de cette aventure sans lendemain souhaitèrent tourner la page au plus vite. Jacques Copeau reprit le chemin de Pernand-Vergelesses … »1 Léon Lamblin, sous-secrétaire d’Etat aux Beaux-Arts, le remplace entre le 13 janvier et le 2 mars 1941. Directeur du Musée Carnavalet et responsable des matinées poétiques, Jean- Louis Vaudoyer est nommé administrateur à compter du 4 mars 1941. Grand ami d’Edouard Bourdet, Vaudoyer n’est ni un auteur de théâtre, ni un artisan de la scène, c’est un homme de grande culture, amateur d’art et de poésie. Il prend la direction de la maison à un des pires moments de son histoire. La troupe a perdu Yonnel – qui rentrera en octobre après que le Commissariat aux questions juives eût déclaré qu’il ne pouvait être considéré comme juif, Béatrice Bretty dont Jérôme Carcopino 2 exige la mise à la retraite, Véra Korène, Robert Manuel, Henri Echourin, Henri-Paul Bonifas doivent quitter la Société en application des lois de Vichy… La Société se trouve ainsi privée d’éléments importants dans la tragédie comme dans la comédie.

Ayant pour habitude de se déplacer dans Paris à bicyclette, Bourdet est renversé par un véhicule. Souffrant d’une double fracture de la jambe droite, il sera immobilisé pendant de longs mois. Une page glorieuse de l’histoire de la Comédie-Française se tourne. Le 9 juin a lieu la dernière représentation de la saison et le 10 la troupe quitte Paris pour la province au même titre que le gouvernement qui se réfugie à Tours, puis Bordeaux, Clermont- Ferrand, enfin Vichy. Le 14 juin, les troupes allemandes entrent dans la capitale déclarée “ville ouverte“ et les drapeaux tricolores sont remplacés au fronton des édifices publics par les drapeaux à croix gammée ! Le 16 juin, Philippe Pétain devient Président du Conseil 1 et le 17, il lance un appel à cesser le combat. En réponse à cet acte de capitulation, le 18, s’élève depuis Londres une voix jusqu’alors inconnue, celle du Général De Gaulle qui refuse de se soumettre. Le 24 octobre, Pétain rencontre Hitler à Montoire et le 30 du même mois, il appelle dans un discours à la collaboration. Pressentis par Bourdet, Baty, Dullin et Jouvet refusent de quitter la direction de leur théâtre respectif pour diriger la Comédie-Française. Seul Copeau 2 accepte pour une durée de six mois.
