Artists’ books - rare books !
Encounters of a few words handwritten, typed, composed, printed and of forms born from a fleeting thought or a laborious choice patiently built on the edge of days.
Gazes drawn to a work of exception with images drawn, painted, etched in shadow or lifted in relief, cut, folded... to the touch of materials : rag paper, soft and delicate fibers, rustic fabrics, cardboard, leather, steel... and that ineffable attraction to pages or volumes creates, then, an exchange between the artist’s book and the reader... and if text and image become one, the book becomes a rare work in the fullness of shared meaning.
Concorde ! A harmonious union beetween several people. It comes alive in the living place at the Salon d’Automne.
