Description
ORIGINAL EDITION OF THIS MONUMENTAL BIOGRAPHY OF CÉSAR, illustrated with rich iconography from the archives of Denyse Durand-Ruel.
The first page features a large, highly accomplished piece of original artwork Compressed paper cube- mixed technique, 270 x 280 mm: crumpled paper, stamp, pencil and wax - signed César, Nice 1975 and dedicated to Madame Bazaine.
César was no slouch when it came to dedicating his drawings; on the other hand, he was much rarer when it came to producing highly elaborate works for catalogues, reserving them for close friends and family, in this case the entourage of the painter Jean Bazaine.
Bound in publisher's original unbleached cloth with black titles on spine and front cover, illustrated dust jacket, protective cardboard slipcase.
