Bibliography
Extracts from a letter by Emile Gallé to Victor Prouvé dated the 25th of January 1899
“… Thème décoratif. – Cette pièce devra faire partie d’une série rêvée par moi de Fruits spirituels, les uns bons et les autres mauvais. Celle-ci sera la pomme de sapin, vaguement rappelée par la forme du vase avec la large figuration neigeuse sur son épaulement de bronze, formant ainsi cadre au sujet inspiré de ce thème :
Car j’ai eu froid et vous m’avez réchauffé
J’étais étranger et vous m’avez recueilli
… Il s’agit donc de figurer un miséreux, demi nu, auquel des hôtes, eux-mêmes peu fortunés, offrent leur coeur et leur foyer ; Puvis, si je me souviens, avait prêté à ses hospitaliers homme et femme un grand âge, ce qui était touchant et faisait un rappel de Philémon et Baucis.
Afin de ne pas trop compliquer (car nous avons bien d’autres thèmes à dire, en un an !) un seul hospitalisé pourrait suffire, avec un pauvre accroupi frileux devant le feu, et des invités plus modestes et non moins intéressants, des oiseaux sur une place sans neige, un chien perdu qui dévore timidement à l’écart…
… P.S. – Bien entendu, je compte enlever le noir du col et n’en laisser que peu (vol de corneilles scématisées, ou écailles de sapin). Je laisserai la bague noire…” (La Revue des arts décoratifs, 1901, p. 312).
