New York: George Wittenborn, Inc, 1969 4to (29.5 cm), 368 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The French livres d'artiste - fine limited editions of literary texts designed and illustrated by artists - have a unique place in 20th century art. Most of the great painters and sculptors of the School of Paris have contributed to the genre. The monograph is the first comprehensive study of the l'ivre d'artiste intended for the general reader as well as the art specialist. The author traces the early origins of the genre, examines its history and development through the present century and discusses and illustrates the work of more than a hundred artists."

The mass of information and experience thus assembled is now distilled into a soundly produced, well-organised volume containing 173 monochrome and eight colour plates reproduced by the photolithographic process. The choice and disposition of the illustrations is both attractive in itself and exceptionally well integrated with the text which never becomes a mere catalogue. The opening chapter defìnes the nature of the livre d'artiste as a book in which the visual impact predominates ..The term further implies direct participation by the…
