33. [Poulenc, Francis. (1899–1963) & Landowska, Wanda. (1879–1959)] Restout, Denise. (1915–2004) [Bernac, Pierre. (1899–1979)].
Broadside and Six Original Photographs including three taken during the composition of the "Concert champêtre"

Six original photographs of the great Polish-French harpsichordist with the French composer, mounted to paper and labeled by Landowska's assistant, domestic partner, and biographer, Denise Restout.  Three of the photographs were taken in 1928 during the composition of Concert champêtre, which was written by Poulenc especially for Landowska.  In all three images, each attributed to Landowska's longtime maid Elsa Schunicke, Landowska sits at the keyboard with a pleasant smile while Poulenc looks on, seemingly lost in thought.  The other three photographs, taken in the decade following the end of World War II, show the by now old friends sitting in conversation.  The first, credited to Restout, is labelled "New York, Central Park West / 1948 / [Fir]st visit after the war."  The second photograph, attributed to "Landshoff" — quite possibly photographer Herman Landshoff — shows Landowska and Poulenc in "New York Hotel Wyndham 1952 / Playing the Concert Champêtre on a mute keyboard!"  The final image, again credited to Restout, shows the pair at Landowska's house in Lakeville, Connecticut, 1954, "listening to Mozart."  Restout has inscribed to verso of the first sheet, "For Vivian, / Happy Birthday / and good luck for the completion of the PHD with admiration for her beautiful work on our friend 'Poupole' (as he called himself!) / Love, Denise."  Light silvering to two of the three pre-war images, moderate wear to post-war photographs with heavy surface creasing and light folds to the photograph dating from 1954, overall in fine condition.  Mounted to 9 x 12 inches (22.9 x 30.5 cm.).
