Published by Philippe Lebaud, Éditeur, Paris; printed by ateliers de René Guillard, Paris, March 15, 1972. Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), The circulation of this work from the collection Variations has been limited to 190 examples which are justified as follows: twenty examples on Japon Nacré, numbered from 1 to 20 to which was attached a suite on Rives des lithographies and an original gouache; thirty examples on Auvergne numbered from 21 to 50 to which a suite on Rives des lithographies was attached; one hundred and forty examples on Rives numbered from 51 to 190. A non-commercial example marked 0 was drawn for each of the employees of the edition. Completed on March 15, 1972, the edition was produced under the direction of Alain Bosquet and Philippe Lebaud with the collaboration of Jacques de Cornulier and Jean-François Fouquereau and the contribution of Pierre Jean Mathan for typography. The lithographs of Cremonini, Fred Deux, Delmotte, Hélion, Herold, Masson and Peverelli, were drawn at the workshops of Fernand Mourlot; the lithographs of Coutaud and Labisse at the workshops of Jacques Desjobert; the lithographs of Aillaud, Dufour, Ferrer, Man Ray and Monory at the workshops of Clot, Bramsen and Georges; the lithographs of Leonor Fini, Lamy, Lepri and Rohner at the workshops of René Guillard; the lithographs of Baj and Lunven at the ateliers de Michel Cassé. The binding was executed by Jacques Ebrard based on a model by Paul Mc Lennon. The texts and lithographs bear the autographs of their authors. FRANCOIS LUNVEN (1942-1971), was a French engraver, designer and painter. François Lunven passed his baccalaureate in philosophy, and completed upper class in drawing at the Lycée Claude-Bernard in Paris. He was introduced to the techniques of engraving at the Lacourière-Frélaut workshop, with Jacques then Robert Frélaut. In 1964, he married Hélène Delafargue, with whom he had a son, Tristan. In 1965, he met Jean-Pierre Velly at the Lacourière-Frélaut workshop. In 1970 he began a friendship with Bernard Noël whom François Lunven had just met. He had his first and only personal exhibition during his lifetime, at the Transart gallery, in Milan. In 1971, on the eve of his second solo exhibition at the ARC department of the modern art museum of the city of Paris, François Lunven committed suicide.
