About the Item
Construction d’un temple – Plate n. 3 is a b/w original etching realized in 1973 (as reported on plate on the lower right margin) by Paul Delvaux.
From the collection “ Construction d’un temple en ruine à la déesse Vanadé ”, this wonderful original print came into being from the collaboration of four years between the French author and a member of the Nouveau-Roman , Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008), and the Belgian artist Paul Delvaux (1897-1994). At first, Robbe-Grillet wrote a text, to which Delvaux then replied with a wonderful engraving; Robbe-Grillet then responded with a second text. This is how the building blocks of this beautiful book came together: it was constructed like a temple.
The book was printed in an edition of 187 copies, of which only 40 contain the illustrations by Paul Delvaux . Our copy is unnumbered and printed on “Arches” ivory colored paper with the Bateau Lavoir watermark (on the lower right corner), and “Richard Bas ” watermark (on the lower left margin).
This beautiful artwork, representing an enigmatic composition with seven women realized like ancient Greek marble statues in different poses, seems hard to understand. In excellent conditions, and with swift outlines: as good as new.
Le Bateau Lavoir
Published in 1975 by the Parisian " Le Bateau Lavoir ", the commission of this edition was made by Mira Jacob , a private collector of Symbolist and Surrealist paintings. She was the one who encoraged Paul Delvaux during their first meeting in 1965 to start making lithographs. For this book, the Belgian artist produced a large number of engravings, some of which are dry-points.
Paul Delvaux (1897-1994)
Renowned for his images of female nudes rendered as cold marble statues in a dream-like world, Delvaux’s work is sometimes referred to as a theatre of courtesans. In our case, the female figures are depicted in the foreground.
Oblong Shape:
This edition from Fequet and Baudrier is unique because of its oblong shape. The text was hand-set by François Da Ros, who produced many editions for Fequet and Baudrier between 1964 and 1978. Da Ros was later named the master-typographer. The engravings were printed on Piero Crommelynck ’s engraving press, who was one of Picasso’s favorite engravers.

Paul Delvaux
Paul Delvaux was born in 1897 in Belgium. He was one of the leading exponents of Surrealism, as well as one of the most popular painters of all time. He is famous for his female portraits located into mysterious surreal interiors and landscapes. In 1965, Delvaux was encouraged by Mira Jacob, a private collector of Symbolist and Surrealist paintings, to begin making lithographs. Later in 1976, Jacob published her book Paul Delvaux: Graphic Work, for which the Belgian artist produced many engravings, some of which are dry-points. Delvaux died in 1994.

Paul Delvaux, (born September 23, 1897, Antheit, Liège, Belgium—died July 20, 1994, Veurne), Belgian Surrealist painter and printmaker whose canvases typically portray transfixed nudes and skeletons in mysterious settings.
From 1920 to 1924 Delvaux studied architecture and painting at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. His early work was influenced by Post-Impressionism and Expressionism, but after discovering the work of Salvador Dalí, Giorgio de Chirico, and his fellow Belgian René Magritte, Delvaux converted to a Surrealist style in the mid-1930s. He traveled through Italy before World War II, and the Classical architecture he encountered there developed into recurring motifs in his work. During that trip he was also greatly influenced by early 16th-century Italian Mannerist...

Artist biography:
Belgian artist Paul Delvaux was born in Liège in eastern Belgium. Despite Delvaux’s desire to become an artist, his lawyer father encouraged him to train as an architect at the prestigious Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
Thanks to private art tuition undertaken alongside his architectural studies, in 1925 Delvaux gained his first solo exhibition in Brussels. Heavily influenced by contemporary Expressionism and Surrealism, Delvaux was soon drawn to the ‘metaphysical’ paintings of Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico.
