GORKY, Maxim (pseud of Aleksei Mikhailovich Peshkov, 1868-1936). Large portrait photograph signed and inscribed by Gorky to Sasha Chorny, 1912.
Gelatin silver print (284 x 234mm) on strong wove paper, Gorky’s inscription in black ink in the bottom left of the image. (The print with silvering near the edges, some surface soiling, edges with light wear, traces of mounting on the verso.) Provenance: Maxim Gorgy (presentation inscription to:) – Sasha Chorny (1880-1932) – Moisei Semenovich Lesman (1902-1985, musician and bibliophile).
A LARGE PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT PRESENTED BY GORKY TO SASHA CHORNY IN 1912, and inscribed, in Russian: ‘To Alexander Mikhailovich Glikberg [i.e. Sasha Chorny], Maxim Gorky, as a memento. Truly glad to have met you! Capri, 7 August 1912’. Chorny edited the influential Zhar Ptitsa and wrote Detskii Ostrov, one of Russia’s best loved children’s books, which was originally published with illustrations by Boris Grigorev. From 1906 to 1913 Gorky lived on Capri in self-imposed exile to avoid repression back home. A fine association, linking two major literary figures in the period of relative calm before Russia’s total transformation. Knigi i rukopisi v sobranii M.S. Lesmana, p.294 and reproduction.
