His contributions as playwright, novelist, poet, artist, and film maker have all had their impact on our time. Since most of his book illustration has been in the form of line drawings rather than original graphics, he has not been represented in major exhibitions of the artist and the book. The present volume includes an original colored drawing by Cocteau on the half-title of his most famous novel. The sketch is part of a presentation inscription to his friend Jacques Marmel.

With twenty-two original mixed etchings by Rouault and wood engravings cut by Georges Aubert. One of copies on Vidalon with etchings on Arches and Rives, of a total edition of copies. The publisher Vollard had long been fascinated by Alfred Jarry 's play Ubu Roi first performed in , a work which profoundly affected the direction of twentieth-century French drama. He continued to expand upon the satirical adventures of his hero, and commissioned Rouault to illustrate the present volume, recounting Ubu's experiences in the colonies.

Rouault began work on the project in The final effect of the mixed etchings was obtained through a process called hand-photogravure, in which his original sketches were transferred to the copperplate by photography and then worked over in a variety of techniques including drypoint, etching, and aquatint. Rouault spent a total of sixteen years working on these illustrations, including the wood engravings.

With six original etchings by Picasso. One of an edition of copies on Rives, signed by the artist. This is the only book published in America with original etchings by Picasso. It is perhaps the single most successful artistic production of the Limited Editions Club, and one of the few examples of the livre d'artiste produced in this period.

No serious student of Picasso's work can ignore his prolific book illustration, and these etchings are among the finest in his classical style. With six original soft-ground etchings and twenty reproductions of preliminary drawings by Matisse. One of copies, signed by the artist. O9 U4 vault. Joyce was worried that the Frenchman might not be familiar enough with the Irish terrain to do the job.

He attempted to have a friend in Ireland send the artist an illustrated weekly from Dublin around Although legend has it that Matisse began and finished Ulysses in one evening, he later admitted that he never read Joyce's novel. His "illustrations" depict six episodes from Homer's Odyssey. The Limited Editions Club text of Ulysses is still the most accurate available to scholars. The decision to include reproductions of the preliminary sketches for the finished etchings also lends the book a special interest.

Although much of Matisse's later graphic work was done as book illustration, this is the only example of his use of the soft-ground etching technique. With seventeen original colored etchings and eighty-two wood engravings. AB , PS This is the last book issued by the great publisher Vollard.

Rouault had been working on a series of preparatory paintings for this theme for several years, and some of the resulting wood engravings cut by Georges Aubert are dated as early as Here, as in much of Rouault's work, his youthful apprenticeship to a stained-glass maker is apparent, lending a medieval flavor to the whole.

By way of contrast it may be noted that Rouault also produced fourteen etchings illustrating Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal.

He was prevented by the Second World War from completing the thirty plates he had planned, and the book did not appear. With thirty-one original aquatints by Picasso.

One of copies on Vidalon wove of a total edition of copies. This work is generally regarded as the most important bestiary published in this century. Picasso's aquatints for Buffon's Histoire naturelle were begun in , commissioned by Vollard. The publisher's death in an automobile accident in , on the eve of the outbreak of the war, was a blow to Picasso and many others. Nevertheless Picasso continued to work on the series, even during the German occupation; and the book was finally brought out in by Martin Fabiani.

This process allows the artist to achieve an almost infinite variety of grey and black tones, while maintaining an impression of free-flowing spontaneity. The results of this technique are evident throughout the series, including plates in which Picasso has added texture by using his fingerprints. With three original etchings by Tanguy. One of copies on papier de Shadowmould, with the etchings signed by the artist.

Here he illustrates a text by Yvan Goll one of the poets most popular with French artists of the Twenties and Thirties. Goll was also the Paris agent who secured the rights to the first German translation of James Joyce's works, and he later assisted Samuel Beckett and others in the French translation of a chapter from Finnegans Wake. Tanguy is an artist whose work is known by sight to tens of thousands of readers who have never heard his name because reproductions of his paintings have been widely used as cover illustrations for science fiction paperbacks.

A good example of post-World War II surrealist book illustration. With four original lithographs by Picasso.

The book was reissued in English translation in , and together with the Limited Editions Club Lysistrata is one of only two books published in America with original graphics by Picasso. The text was conceived while the author ws in New York, and the title of the work refers to the Indian name for a sector of Brooklyn. The poems are dedicated to Picasso.

The almost sculptural effects attained aid the artist in breaking away from the notion of illustration as a solely two-dimensional mode of expression. With three original colored etchings by Tanguy. A more recent example of Tanguy's work, these etchings were published only a year before the artist's death. A comparison with his illustrations for Yvan Goll 's text also exhibited reveals the consistency of Tanguy's artistic style over the years. Laude's prose has also been illustrated by Raoul Ubac. With an original colored etching by Char. It offers us a clear example of a work in which we might expect to find a meaningful relationship between word and image.

Char broke with Surrealism in , and the establishment of his reputation as a poet has been largely post-World War II. With four original colored etchings by Masson. In the intervening years he established himself both as a painter and as a prolific book illustrator for texts by such authors as Coleridge, Malraux, Jean Paulhan, and, more recently, Rimbaud.

The etchings for Mines de rien reflect a later stage in the artist's style, and Masson has recently spoken of his work as being situated between Kandinsky and Pollock in spirit.

With two original colored etchings signed by Ernst, and twenty-five colored lithographs of original drawings pulled by Mourlot and approved for printing by the artist. One of copies of a total edition of copies.

The whimsical style of the lithographs in particular is reminiscent of his work for such earlier texts as Artaud's Galapagos, Les Iles du bout du monde Ernst has often illustrated his own surrealist texts with wit and originality. A hint of Ernst's attitude toward art may be seen in a recent interview: To my mind, Beckett is our truly great contemporary.

With twelve original lithographs and ten original woodcuts by Pozzatti. One of copies on Rives, signed by the artist. A rare example of a livre d'artiste published by an American university press. Pozzatti, one of the best contemporary American print-makers, has created a series of original illustrations which inevitably demand comparison with other major bestiaries of this century. On several occasions, Pozzatti has solved the traditional problem of the double-page spread illustration with true originality. With eighteen original lino-cuts by Erhardt.

One of copies on handmade paper, signed by the artist. This is the first livre d'artiste with Beckett's work produced in West Germany. The tri-lingual edition is the work of the Manus Presse, perhaps the finest press in this field east of the Rhine.

With twenty-two original linocuts and woodcuts, and one original mixed collage by Staritsky.

With eighteen original colored lithographs by Zadkine. Sculptors such as Giacometti, Henri Laurens, and Marino Marini have all contributed to major illustrated books. Zadkine is yet another powerful figure in twentieth-century sculpture who has shown a decided interest in the livre d'artiste. His colored lithographs illustrating Aveline's surrealist text are very much in the style of his studies for monumental sculpture. He has also illustrated his own texts as well as those by such contemporary authors as Robert Ganzo. One of copies. Concrete poetry has deep roots in literary history, yet it is, by definition, dependent upon effects other than the purely literary.

Since this poetry is often strongly visual, the design and printing of the poem acquire special weight, so that the resulting collaboration in this case with John Dearstyne is in many ways analogous to the process of creation itself. Mary Ellen Solt is internationally known, both for her own work and as an editor of concrete poetry. With six original colored etchings by Arikha, each signed by the artist. Avigdor Arikha, an Israeli artist living in Paris, is a close friend of Beckett's and has illustrated several of his works including, in addition to those exhibited here, Stories and Texts for Nothing , Malone Dies , Happy Days , and Waiting for Godot.

With seven original etchings three in color by Papart. Ribemont-Dessaignes's surrealist texts have been illustrated by Georges Braque and others. This is the first edition of these poems. Max Papart is a well known contemporary French painter, who has contributed original collages to one of the books in the Lilly Library's Le Livre Unique series also exhibited.

With three original colored etchings, each signed by Tanaka. One of copies, signed by the author. A fine example of the work of a contemporary American poet in the form of a livre d'artiste printed in Japan. Tanaka's etchings bear a direct and intelligible relationship to the poems they illustrate, while retaining the quality and expressive power of independent works of art. The practice of heightening original graphics by hand with color is often followed in France, thus bringing the artist into even more direct and intimate contact with the text in its physical expression as book.

Their work may be viewed as a modern development related to Surrealism without having any formal ties with it.

This more recent text, accompanied by abstrict wood engravings, is typical of the broad range of livres d'artiste currently being produced in France.

This series of illustrations to Jarrell's famous war poem which begins "From my mother's sleep I fell into the State" may have been called forth by the events of the Sixties in America. Although the line drawings are reproduced, each one is delicately hand-colored by the artist. The pale colors seem to deliberately underplay the meaning until the direct blow at the sensibilities offered by the final illustration and line of the poem. With four original colored serigraphs by Petitjean. One of thirty-six copies, signed by the artist and author. These color serigraphs may be compared with the artist's original gouaches for the eighth volume in the Lilly Library's Livre Unique series.
