Ebook About A tragic family history told in a collection of imaginary letters to a famed collector, Moise de CamondoLetters to Camondo is a collection of imaginary letters from Edmund de Waal to Moise de Camondo, the banker and art collector who created a spectacular house in Paris, now the Musée Nissim de Camondo, and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art.The Camondos were a Jewish family from Constantinople, “the Rothschilds of the East,” who made their home in Paris in the 1870s and became philanthropists, art collectors, and fixtures of Belle Époque high society, as well as being targets of antisemitism—much like de Waal's relations, the Ephrussi family, to whom they were connected. Moise de Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with art for his son, Nissim; after Nissim was killed in the First World War, the house was bequeathed to the French state. Eventually, the Camondos were murdered by the Nazis.After de Waal, one of the world’s greatest ceramic artists, was invited to make an exhibition in the Camondo house, he began to write letters to Moise de Camondo. These fifty letters are deeply personal reflections on assimilation, melancholy, family, art, the vicissitudes of history, and the value of memory.Book Letters to Camondo Review :
This is my first de Waal book, but it won't be my last (the other 2 are on order already).A lot of the books I buy go to a TBR pile, and sit there for some time before I (hopefully) finally get to them. This arrived Sunday, and I had finished this short tome Tuesday night.de Waal is a highly regarded potter, whose porcelain works are often presented as multiple, rather than lone, items.He writes about family, and decorative arts, and history. Particularly the Jewish side of his family, and their porcelain collection.Here we have a short book, in letters, about the family, house and arts collection of Count Moise de Camondo. A family of Leventine Jews who relocated to Paris in the late 19th Century. It is also a valuable introduction to the history of anti-Semitism in France. de Wall presents us with multiple examples of how the family tried to integrate into French society (organizations, money, his son's life - even his own house, to be used as a museum after his death!), but were never found to be "French" enough.The last third of the book is plainly presented by date and event and fact regarding the demise of the family (and all other Jews) under the Nazi regime in France. He calls what happens to this family (who lived near his own mother's family, and who were distantly related as well - he jokes about how convoluted a Family Tree would be, especially if it included lovers and mistresses!) what it was. They did not "pass" or "die" - they were murdered in the Holocaust.One of the last chapters (nearly all the letters are only 1-3 pp long) traces the ownership of a Renoir portrait of one of the young girls in 1880. Ironically, Goering owned this beautiful portrait of a young, Jewish girl at one point!The physical book itself is wonderful in-hand. FSG did a great job. Thick, glossy pages - signatures sewn in. Well illustratd. Further Reading, Notes, and identification of the illustrations.The use of letters to present this story works well. He skips about a bit, but in the end it is a chronological presentation. About decorative arts, family, France, and anti-Semitism in Europe.Well, worth a read - quietly sad. A slim volume , Letters to Camondo combines biographical sketches , historical context and ruminations on collecting , museum display , identity, human and institutional fragility, as well as the weight of family history. The epistolary style allows de Waal to integrate his thoughts , feeling and experiences related to the objective portrait and biography he is writing . There are resonances of Peter Drucker's structure for his -also remarkable- autobiographical Adventures of a Bystander ; but I cannot think of a book I have read quite like it.Another artist's touch, the pages and printing are extraordinarily high quality to do justice to the illustrations.
