Artists' books

LE SALON D’AUTOMNE

When we deeply love certain texts, we feel that we should accompany them.

Book artists offer us - from one work to another - a great diversity of forms : manuscripts, lead or pigment typography, fold-out books, Leporello (accordion) books, papers, steel, leather and fabrics, loose- leaf under canvas, Altuglass, pencils, inks, collages, screenprinting or engravings… they always converse with the words. Sometimes, certain creators emancipate themselves from the structure of the written word for the freedom of color. Then, the painted book is born.

In the encounter with the visitor and for sharing, once again this year on the Champs-Élysées, autumn is beautiful in books.
