[Charpentier, Gustave. (1860-1956)] Caruso, Enrico. (1873-1921). Huge Signed Self-Portrait Caricature in Julien. A very fine original and unusually large self-portrait caricature of the great tenor in the title role of Charpentier's Julien. About 20 x 7 inches on the verso of two attached Hotel Knickerbocker letterheads; remnants of mounting adhesive at top margin. Boldly signed and dated 1914 lower right.
First performed in 1913, the opera was not well received and apart from two productions in 1914, one of which was at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City with Geraldine Farrar and Enrico Caruso in the main roles, it has not been revived. The work did, however, gain the praise of Gabriel Fauré who admired its expressionist qualities.
