Antique Rooster Woodblock Print circa 1910 by Prosper Alphonse Isaac
Located in SANTA FE, NM
Antique Rooster Portrait
Prosper Alphonse Isaac (France, 1858-1924)
Woodblock Print circa 1910
9 x 7 1/8 (15 1/4 x 17 frame) inches
The excellent book "The Great Wave: The Influence of Japanese Woodcuts on French Prints" which was an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1974, recounts the phenomenal "cult of Japan" in late nineteenth-century France and reveals through direct comparisons its particular impact on the graphic work of Manet, Degas, Cassatt, Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin. This print directly relates to the discovery of Japanese art most notably through the woodblock prints which found their way to the West oftentimes as stuffing or packing materials from consumer goods that were being imported to the West at the end of the 19th century.
Prosper-Alphonse Isaac was born in a well-to-do family. This gave him the means not only of leaving his native Calais to pursue a career as an artist in Paris, but also the means to acquire art. Isaac was particularly drawn to Japanese arts, which he collected avidly. Many of the objects he bought were eventually given to museums. As a printmaker Isaac started drawing seascapes in dry point, but eventually moved on to become one of only a handful of artists versed in color woodcut techniques in France. His compositions, generally small in scale, are heavily influenced by the arts of Japan. He printed small editions of these works. Aside from this artistic activity, Isaac was also an active textile decorator.

1911 original poster for La Bicyclette - Le Globe - early 20th-century cycling
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1911 original poster for La Bicyclette - Le Globe is a remarkable testament to the early 20th-century cycling culture and the rise of competitive sports marketing. Created to promote the Le Globe bicycle brand, this poster emphasizes its association with significant cycling achievements, including victories in prestigious races like the Tour de France 1910 and 1911 and the grueling Paris-Brest-Paris 1911.
Cycling was rapidly gaining popularity in Europe during this era, not only as a mode of transportation but as a competitive sport that captured the imagination of the public. The poster highlights Le Globe bicycles’ durability and superior design, attributing their performance to technological advancements such as the Eadie freewheel, Hans Renold chain, and Bowden brakes. These innovations are prominently mentioned as key factors behind the brand's success in overcoming the rigors of demanding races.
Victories by riders using Le Globe bicycles are proudly celebrated in the poster, with detailed references to stage wins in the Tour de France and the extraordinary records set during the Paris-Brest-Paris race. The detailed text serves as both a chronicle of accomplishments and an endorsement of the brand’s reliability and superiority.
The typographic design, typical of early 20th-century posters, conveys authority and credibility while catering to an audience eager for both sporting news and technical innovation. This promotional piece stands as an enduring relic of an era when cycling was not just a sport but a symbol of progress and industrial ingenuity.
Today, the La Bicyclette - Le Globe poster...

Improvisation 7
second ed. woodcut from
Klänge
by Wassily Kandinsky
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Improvisation 7' second ed. woodcut from 'Klänge' is a woodcut print created by Wassily Kandinsky. The present woodcut print comes from the second edition of 'Klänge (Sounds),' a book of original graphics and poetry by Wassily Kandinsky. The title of the album and of this print, 'Improvisation,' demonstrated Kandinsky's interest in music and how abstract musical forms could be translated into images on a two-dimensional surface. This particular composition is difficult to read, but through the abstraction, one can make out various figures and a landscape beyond. Originally carved and printed in 1911, this second edition print was done ca. 1938. It is a woodcut in black ink on woven paper. Signed with encircled 'K' in the block, lower right (from the book, signed in ink, ed. 117/300)
Image Size: 7 1/2" x 5 inches
Frame Size: 22 1/4" x 18 3/4"
Ref. Roethel 124
Artist Bio:
The Museum of Modern Art described 'Klänge (Sounds)' as follows:
Vasily Kandinsky's self-described "musical album," Klänge (Sounds), consists of thirty-eight prose-poems he wrote between 1909 and 1911 and fifty-six woodcuts he began in 1907. In the woodcuts Kandinsky veiled his subject matter, creating increasingly indecipherable images (though the horse and rider, his symbol for overcoming objective representation, runs through as a leitmotif). This process proved crucial for the development of abstraction in his art. Kandinsky said his choice of media sprang from an "inner necessity" for expression: the woodcuts were not merely illustrative, nor were the poems purely verbal descriptions. Kandinsky sought a synthesis of the arts, in which meaning was created through the interaction of, and space between, text and image, sound and meaning, mark and blank space. The experimental typography shows his interest in the physical aspects of the book.
Klänge is one of three major publications by Kandinsky that appeared shortly before World War I, alongside Über die Geistige in der Kunst (Concerning the Spiritual in Art) and the Blaue Reiter almanac...
