Ce dessin, demeuré jusqu’à présent totalement inédit, nous fait découvrir un aspect souvent méconnu de la vie de Bonnard : sa proximité avec les milieux politiquement revendicateurs. Le roman Les Potins de Paris auquel il fait référence, parut en feuilleton dans le quotidien L’Écho de France en 1892. Le journal publiait des articles au contenu social, de romanciers, de poètes ou de journalistes tels qu’André Theuriet, Armand Silvestre, ou encore Jules Lermina, proche des milieux socialistes. L’on y trouvait aussi, toujours publiés en feuilleton, Les mystères de Paris d’Eugène Sue, des récits de Guy de Maupassant, ou encore d’Émile Goudeau, le célèbre animateur des « Hydropathes » et des « Incohérents », un des proches de Rodolphe Salis et de son cabaret du Chat Noir. Les Potins de Paris sont l’œuvre d’Albert Goullé (1844-1918). Né dans un milieu d’ouvriers travaillant dans les filatures, il s’engage très jeune dans des associations de défense des travailleurs. Il est emprisonné en 1870 à Sainte Pélagie aux côtés d’Henri Rochefort pour délit de presse, avant que de participer activement à la Commune en 1871 ce qui le contraindra un temps à l’exil. Il collabore comme journaliste à La Patrie en danger d’Auguste Blanqui et au Cri du peuple de Jules Vallès. Il ne faut en définitive pas s’étonner que Bonnard, qui était proche d’Alfred Jarry, qui donna des illustrations pour le Nib et L’Escarmouche du très anarchiste Georges Darien, ait réalisé ce projet d’annonce dont on ne sait s’il fut utilisé !
This previously unpublished drawing reveals a lesser-known aspect of Pierre Bonnard’s career: his proximity to politically engaged and socially radical circles in fin-de-siècle Paris. The work refers to the novel Les Potins de Paris, which appeared in serialized form in the daily newspaper L’Écho de France in 1892.
The newspaper regularly featured socially conscious writing by novelists, poets, and journalists such as André Theuriet, Armand Silvestre, and Jules Lermina, the latter closely associated with socialist circles. It also published, in serialized installments, works including Les Mystères de Paris by Eugène Sue, stories by Guy de Maupassant, and texts by Émile Goudeau, the celebrated founder of the “Hydropathes” and the “Incohérents,” and an associate of Rodolphe Salis and his famed cabaret, Le Chat Noir.
Les Potins de Paris was written by Albert Goullé (1844–1918), who was born into a working-class family employed in textile mills and became involved at a young age in workers’ defense associations. In 1870 he was imprisoned at Sainte-Pélagie alongside Henri Rochefort for press offenses. The following year, he took an active part in the Paris Commune, which forced him temporarily into exile. Goullé later contributed as a journalist to La Patrie en danger, founded by Auguste Blanqui, and to Le Cri du peuple by Jules Vallès.
In this context, it is hardly surprising that Bonnard, who was close to Alfred Jarry and provided illustrations for Le Nib and L’Escarmouche, associated with the staunchly anarchist writer Georges Darien, should have conceived this advertising project, though it remains uncertain whether it was ever published. This rare and historically resonant drawing offers compelling insight into the intersection of avant-garde art and radical politics in late 19th-century Paris.
